It's the most unreliable console I've ever came across.  Just yesterday, my friend had to send his in for guess what?  THE EIGHTH &#^# TIME!  It's ridiculous, and is Microsoft going to fix this problem or what?

Why ask the question here though? You're just going to have fanboys agruing over whether or not the issue's fixed, assume your lying and demand a picture of your friend's Xbox 360 dying, probably one for all 8 times.

Seriously, if you want an answer to your question, drop over to the 360 forum or send Microsoft an email (Though Microsoft won't be much help either! :twisted: )

HAHAHAHAHA Sucks for him. Still on my 1st 360. They may be unreliable hardware wise, but software wise, they are the most reliable this generation.

Supposedly it's been fixed. IDK.

It's not as if this is news to anyone. If it were completely reliable there wouldn't be a 3 year warranty on every console in place from the time you buy it.

How do you propose they fix something that can be caused by any general hardware problem? Since those 3 red lights mean "General Hardware Failure".. how do you propose they fix that?

Are you claiming MS doesn't know exactly what the problem is? They've had about 5 million RRODs. I would think that they know.

It must really make the PS3 fanboys mad that even with all the hardware problems the 360 has it is still outselling the PS3.

And where did you pull that number out of? It smells a bit stinky to me. Sure, they know what causes SOME of the problems, But you don't seem to understand the nature of the error code t hat ppl call the "RRoD"... those 3 red lights mean General Hardware Failure.. which means, ANY hardware failure can cause it. Not just one particular problem.

It's already well known what the problem is. Research is your friend.

And what i'm saying and you're not comprehending is that the problem that is 'well known' isn't the only reason that error code would show up.

Dude it is the main reason, over heating gpu is the reason for the high failure rate. Look it up man, when you tell microsoft you have rrod they tell you the price up front, $140, if your warranty is out.
