Is the RRoD finally finally fixed?

Well, it hasn't been out for two years, but it's been like over a year and a half (June-July 2010 I believe when it first came out), but I am glad to hear that nonetheless. :P I think depending on when you bought it, it will be two years old in June or July (NA got it early in June, but NA/AU got it in July).

It's good to know about your good fortune thus far. That falls in line with what I was hoping for, and what I have heard from some friends that jumped in early. I was waiting and hoping my older units wouldn't fail, and I could avoid a rebuy, but no such luck. I managed to save some money on the wait though. :P

As far as having them in a box, I learned last gen with my Xboxs and PS2's not to enclose them, play on shag carpeting, etc. Totally feel you there. :P I went through a few PS2 and a few Xbox's. My later PS2 slims and Halo Xbox's have been good though.:P

And you'll like the Slim, it feels like a much more well built and solidly constructed piece of hardware overall.

And yeah, that was stupid of me, but being college demands compromises. I had little space, and I tried doing the best I could :P

The only hardware that hasn't given me any trouble so far is Nintendo hardware. Like my Gamecube fell about five feet when we were playing Super Smash because someone yanked the cord too hard, and with the disc still spinning, and... it continued running as it had been. We were all so surprised and so relieved :P

The build quality of the 3DS though leaves something to be desired :?

Delta, no that was Kuu.

It was strange, first Kuu posted the problem. Then non-Gamespot.com websites caught on to those SW pics, then those Kuu SW pics from SW actually circulated across the 'net. What was funny, is that after a while a user posted news of Kuu's very own pics in SW as NEW NEWS from another site.

So, I got to see the news of Kuu's 360 S the first time, and then I got to see how all these outlets reported on Kuu's 360 S in a new SW thread, but those sites didn't report SW as the source, lol. It was hilarious seeing that go down.

In fact, here's the link to that thread, lol.

I'm the 12th post down the page 3 (20 posts per page), quoting ProjectNatalfan who is accusing Kuu of breaking his 360 S on purpose. If you know Kuu, you know he's a legit Xbox hardcore gamer. It's actually one of SW more FUN threads, lol.

after the elite i thought this was only a myth

It's actually one of SW more FUN threads, lol.SolidTy

Yes, the good ol' days... *reminisces* :idea:

That situation was peculiar as SW was the original source of the story, which came full circle. Originally reported, then reported again as news from another site, but poor Kuu saw the news and it was his own machine making the rounds across the interwebz. :P

I wouldn't say 360 failure is a non-issue

It's still a cheaply made device with low build quality

It's better than it was before that's for sure.

Still scratches disks if you move it

Still often sounds like a helicopter

You definitely should baby it if you want it to last.

All the old models will eventually get it, there's no way around it. kuraimen

RROD was fixed with the release of 360 slim, the death of your console im sure still happens.

I have had 3 xbox 360s die on me. Right now i have a 360 elite & i have had a few issues with it. I can tell it has a very short lifespan left. This is the nature of MS. My warranty expired last month. It only came with a 2YR warranty for the elite.

I was told 360 elite was suppose to have fixed the issue . . . . it didnt't. Im now told the Slim is suppose to fix the issue.The slim has been redisigned, while the other modles hadnt so i'd say the SLim has the SLimmest chance oif dying.

If your going to get one the time is now. Just be glad you waited . . . . but then again the system has no games & they charge you for your own internet connection twice. You should be safe but keep what i said in mind.

Can't tell if you are joking or not. The system has a larger library and more exclusives then the PS3 and that's NOT including arcade games (which are a TON) and indie games. I don't think you ever owned a 360

WTH, welcome to... Happy New Year 2007 ? :twisted:

it was pretty much brought down to acceptable levels years ago the slims are even better.
