Anyone have an Xbox 360 that got RROD

was 360 a core?

I asked this because I haven't heard a single case of someone who got RROD 360 being a core model. I wonder if RROD has mostly affects Premium Xbox 360 systems?

I purchased a core Xbox 360last November and it still works today. I didn't the Core and Premium were any different other than the 20GB HDD, and Component cable being sold seperately, and the disc tray having a silver on it. Could the core systems operate better than the premiums?

my core broke that i got 5 months ago since microsofft took so long to return my console lol think it was 2 months before i got it back so i got sick of waiting and got a core 5 months ago and it just broke recently, its shoddy workmanship on microsofts part for sure

Yeah, my core RROD'd twice. MS was really good about repairing it, though, so I'm not the least bit annoyed.

lol the question should be anyone 360 NOT get the rrod? hahaha..mine did once.. i fixed it.. then my 360 randomly got the disc read error so i sold itArsenal325

why didnt you just send it back and get it fixed for free?

I thought core systems were safe but now I see they are no different than the Premiums. I must got the luck of the draw though because I'm still using my first Xbox 360 core I bought on Black Friday last November. I purchased a 2-year in-store warranty, and was glad to hear that Microsoft had extended there mgft warranty. The 360 box says the manufacture date was Oct. 2006, but I don't think that means anything since Microsoft just now corrected the problems.

If anything I would like to get my paws on the Xbox 360 arcade now that has replaced the Cores, because it comes with a wireless pad, and has built-in HDMI, I would definitely use my Best Buy warranty to replace my Core for that if my system ever RRODs. I only got 1 year left after November. ;)

wow

anyway 3 rrod and its annoying ... its a core

Exactly what does RROD stand for?

Well, in any case, though the system hasn't fried, the drive in my Dad's 360 did decide to stop working awhile ago. It was still under warranty, until he decided he'd try to fix it himself.

had my 360 since last may (premium) and i really hate it when people make it seem like everyone gets RROD. My brother got it, and maybe a few of his friends, but that only because they, and most other gamers that claim they got RROD, place there 360's on a shelf-type desk that has their tv on top (if you gusy understand what i mean). i myself found my 360 overheating, but that was only before i moved my 360, next to my t.v. out of the shelf-like-thing, standing vertically. lol, im only stating this because i hate when people post and bash the 360 simply because of RROD when, in most (maybe not all) the gamer could have prevented the event to occur. SORRY FOR OFFTOPIC. as for topic, i dont think core 360's get rrod as often, but what am i too say? Blue_Panda

Yeah, you should suspend it in mid-air to maximize the ventilation. Anyone who doesn't do this only has himself to blame if his 360 breaks.

I mean, are you serious? Most 360's break because they're placed on a shelf under the TV? Let's assume that to be true. It's the users fault the console can't handle being placed on a shelf under the TV like any other electronic device in existance?

But since that isn't true, and the reason 360's RROD is because it has a design flaw, I just don't see what relevance it has. Your arguement is just so utterly ridiculous I'm having difficulties believing it's not some sort of joke.
