My bro's 360 just E74'ed yesterday after RRoDing 2 years earlier.His friends are all Halo/X-Box Livefanboys and they all have two working 360s at all times so that when one dies they can send it in while using the other. My bro is going to do the same thing and he needs that new 360 NOW because OMFG ODST COMES OUT NEXT WEEK!!!!! It never ceases to amaze me how terrible the 360 is. Yet somehow X-Box Live and Halo have people in a trance and they're willing to buy two 360s just so they can have their fix of whatever is so great about Halo and XBL.

Do many 360 owners really have two 360s?? I just don't understand it. What a waste of money.

It'd be interesting to see one get rrod and the next day the other get e74. Would anyone want to stick with a console after that?

of course. i mean, i own 7, and have gotten the RROD 36 times. obviously, the fail rate must be somewhere around 300%.

First of all, the whole "friend" story doesn't go over well here. And second, all of the people I know with more than one 360 have them in different rooms. Not all people that buy two 360s do it out of fear of one of them breaking down. Nice try, though.

360's got a crappy hardware, however halo is so good that people are willing to risk it for the love of halo

Itreally must be a pretty good console TC, if what you say is true and people will keep going back to it no matter how many times it breaks down?

Anyway, I'm on my first and it was one I bought not long after it launched.

I think some people do, my friend his died but didn't show the RROD on the display so MS told him he would have to pay for repairs. He decided to just get a new one. I tried to talk him into a PS3, but he was already so invested in the 360 that he didn't want to make the change.

I guess that the OP is totally unaware that many PS3 owners own more than 1 PS3 for the same reason eh? YLOD or BLOD anyone? Come on.. these 360 RROD threads got tiresome a long time ago. RROD & YLOD are caused by the same issue, cheap lead free solder & excessive heat.
