A few weeks I heard. Damn If I got RROD before I got to play ME I would just go out and buy a new 360. No way am I waiting a few weeks to play it.

Look on the bright side, at least you have that 3 year warranty game you can play with. I hear it's very popular among 360 owners.

Lemmings usually have 2 360s because of one of them is always in repair, so they play with the other one.

It wasn't new. Some people take good care of their consoles and son't stab them with screwdrivers, thus they look brand new.

Yeah my friend got RROD last weekend right before we were going to play some Halo3 online. It looked like a GPU issue because it had a hard time rendering the xbox intro (lots of artifacting) then it would crash and RROD. At least I brought my wii and we played some RE:UC. Not the same as H3 online but its a fun co-op experience at least.

I'm pretty sure MS doesn't repair your box and send it back to you, rather once they recieve your box they send you another one that has already been fixed(refurb).

The time varies as you could imagine. It took mine about 3 weeks or so last march/april while my brothers took less then two weeks a month ago(we both live in the same city too). I've even heard horror stories of people going many months without theirs, but that's an oddity and when that did hapen MS reinbursed said person with some free games and what not!

SO.. in short, expect between 2 and 4 weeks from when you ship yours.

IN the meantime, this sounds like the perfect oppurtunity to pick yourself up a Wii and enjoy some Mario Galaxy, believe me it'll keep you from missing your xbox!

I have my Xbox since the month it came out and it is still working. I don't take any special care of it. Do you do anything unusually with it? My XBox must be some kind of super xbox. Maybe it didn't really have RROD and you just forgot to plug in the video cables?

Not so. the last time my friend shiped his xbox360 he marked it with tape on one spot. It was the same tape in the same place when he got it back. It probably might depend on the severity of the repair. Some units might be totaled.

am not a techy type of guy but my friend had rrod a few weeks ago (i was laughing at him, i guess karma). he opened his xbox and bought a fan and cut a hole on his xbox and put the fan at the hole to cool the videocard. it took him 4days to do it but it work. he fixed his xbox. should i let him to dat to my xbox or just send it to ms?

im pretty sure it was......i mean there wasnt any sign that it has been used...the cover was 100% clean, the disc drive was sealed (without peeling off the seal the tray wont open).....i would say it was refurbished if it even had a tiny sign but theres nothing and the disc tray was sealed, also the new 360 was manufactured in 2006 while my old one was manufactured in 2005 + new 360 also reads disc faster then my previous one

Almost 2 weeks that sucks the big one paying 400 bucks for a system and having to wait all that time to get it back....That crap is unacceptable......They really need to get that problem resolved because its been 2 years and still people are having this problem..In the mean time go and pick up a PS3 and enjoy....lol

You are pretty lucky because my 360 failed too, but it didn't get RROD. It is something else. It just bricked, and this happened yesterday, after I had been saying that my 360 was treating me good. :lol:

Ouch, and with mass effect out. oh well if they give you a new one it might have HDMI support. I hope mine breaks down soon as I am not buying another 360 for HDMI. This problem has been around for years though its unacceptable.
