RROD fixed or still a huge problem?

Some forum members are saying RROD was finally fixed. I have yet to see any evidence of it. I'm making this thread to see if we can actually get some real numbers on the problem. What percentage of them are RRODing? Did they actually fix it or is it just a rumor? If you have some kind of actual evidence to back it up, please show it. I'd like to see it.

PS: Amount of threads from someone saying their console RRODed wouldn't be evidence as those have been banned.

Well, I got E74 inNovember 2008 and I know of some reputable XBOX users like IRONBASS got E74 just this last April.

I seem to have an issue EVERY Xmas.

November 2006 = RROD

OCT 2007 = RROD

NOV 2008 = E74

It hasn't been a full year since my new Xbox with new chips, but I got E74 with the new chips, so we'll see.

If anything we should go by what MS is NOT saying about RROD. If there was a significant drop you can bet that MS would make a huge official announcement about it.

here are still around 15 million 360s out there with the inherent design flaw.

It's still a problem.

It's much improved trust me my 360 runs great.TR800

Has not hit me yet.

I read somewhere that there was a new chip i n360s that lowered its chance of happening to like 5-10%, dont ask for a link though this is all based off of memory.

the lack of news about it might also mean there's not much of a problem. people complain when it breaks but don't make a big deal out of something that works fine.

I got 3 RRpDs till now each time with different console first one was with 20 GB model I bought at 2006 and RRoDed in 2008 2nd one was with 60 GB model I bought at January 2008 and RRoDed in Feb 2009 3rd one with 120 GB elite model I bought at march 2009 RRoDed 2 weeks ago

Or it means people are getting used to RRoDs and complaining any more wont be useful :P .

I don't think it has been "fixed" yet but it's definitely nowhere near as big of a problem as it used to be.

How exactly can one gets a RROD or any of the 360s many problems? Ive had a launch 360 for almost a year now (bought it from my cousin) and it hasnt craped out yet.

It still a problem.

Well it'snot 30% on the newer models. The falcon was lower and the Jasper is apparently significantly lower than that. There are still a lot of refurb xenons and zephyrs out there which still fail which is a big part of the problem.
