Is RROD even a real epidemic anymore?

I mean, with the new jasper consoles, and the possiblity of a slim 360 being unveiled soon (think E3ish), can we say that the RROD fiasco is mostly in the past? and can we stop using the RROD as some kind of reason why someone should not buy a 360, because if they buy a new 360 nowadays, chances are their not going to get a RROD. It seems like people just like to keep making RROD jokes because apparently its the cool thing to do, but people need to realize that the problem is pretty much fixed at this point if you buying a new console. Sure, if you have a old 360, you might have problems, but for new consumers, I think its very misleading for people to tell them not to get a 360 because of RROD.I think if a slim 360 hits, RROD is really going to be a thing of the past mroe so than it is now.

my Jasper never had a problem and it's over a year old.

I jsut dont think its a valid argument anymore.

People don't talk about it as much as they used to.

If there was something to talk about I think the PS3 fanboys would talk about it.

We don't know if it's over or not.

Being able to keep a product from breaking for 1 year, 2 years even, that may meet "industry standards", but surely, that doesn't meet my definitions as a consumer of being reliable or fixed.

Posters say it's over, but there is no proof it's over.

I got my buddy to buy a 360 this last Xmas, and he just got RROD a few days ago. He called me up, because I told him about Jasper, etc. He was angry because that's why he waited to buy a 360 in the first place.

All I'm saying is, we can't say it's over, we just have to wait and see how it plays out. Maybe my buddy is an isolated case, or maybe the percentage has gone down, but I'm not going to buy into PR.

My Halo Xbox 360 got E74, and that was a newer model. There are RE5 360's that got RROD I've seen in person. So, it's hard to say if it's over or not.

What we can say is that that problem, and E74 get a 3 year warrantly and leave it at that.

eh wrong my jasper when they first came out late 08 ,, got the rrod ,

and had av problems to later on afte being fixed

I definately don't think it's as big a problem anymore. It's undoubtedly still there, but nothing compared to the beginning of the gen.

Still, there are many, many consoles out there still at risk of the RROD.

If it still RRODs, it still is an epidemic, and boy my old Jasper got RRODed. It still exists, and ANYONE getting a 360, should buy one knowing that they are not safe from it.

It still exists, but it's not as big of an issue as it once was.

And as far as my word will go (nowhere in the real world :P ) I've got a handful of friends with 360's and they enjoy it enough to say they're not concerned with the possibility of RROD happening to their system. My friend has already had it happen once or twice, but he enjoys the game selection so much that he is still 100% behind the Xbox.

I would think that if it was fixed, MS would make some kind of announcement saying so, rather than just a bunch of posters on forums guessing.

guess what People who have had a 360 for the past 5 years didnt just get one now.

It's still there...

People say its fixed but I've never seen any proof of that.TintedEyes

So if you bought an Xbox 360 you have a good chance that you may not get Red Ring?

I hope not.

No, My pro launch system still purrs and my Elite which failed to e74 all most 2 years ago now is still purring since its repair.

well the a recent study said the peoblem is still common, but in SW it's almost gone.

On the newest 360s it's not a serious problem anymore. I'd say RROD is a thing of the past for the most part.

I love how people use PRETTY MUCH instead of a link

the jaspers came in late 2008 (i think), give it another 2.5-3 years.

as long as you have a jasper model, take decent care of your 360 (give it breathing room between wall etc. and back of console, don't leave it on for extended periods of time) and try to install games as much as possible, the risk of RROD is minimal

I would say its on par with the failure rates of the Wii and Playstation

A combination of new versions and being able to install games seems to have removed most concerns with the RROD. The system runs at a much cooler temp now. I say that as a person who has experienced the RROD 4 times *shakes head*

jesus christ mate, it's not a huge amount to ask, it's just common sense

i might as well have put down " don't put your 360 in the microwave or try to dismantle it with a chainsaw "

any fool would be able to prevent it breaking nowadays

I have had 5 consoles die on me.

1) NES

2) PS2

3) PS2

4) PS2

5) PS3

My 360 is still going strong after 4 years now and I haven't had a single problem with it. I only know of one person who got the RROD but that was because his dog knocked his 360 off a table.

latest results show 360 errors are still high in around like 45% so no they haven't fixed it yet.
