I've been a long time playstation owner and player but now it seems that the 360 is getting all of the good games-even ones that were initially supposed to be PS3 exclusives. So im hoping to buy a 360 this summer when I get a job but ive always held back on buying one because of RROD. My question is are people still getting RROD? Also I heard the Elite is less likely to get it. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks

Not for RROD. You tell them, and they'll send you a box via UPS.

Edit: Or it might be FedEx now, I don't remember.

yes it is worth not having the cables. I got mine for $60 used at eb games. try to find a deal on it, $100 is a little steep for something even the Ds has built in.

Yes rrod are still happening, Im in the small 16% fail rate with 3 pros and 2 elites RROD.

Wow thats a lot of Red rings lol. I'll probably hold off untill the next Xbox. It will probably have blu-ray and wireless. But it'll probably have the same price tag as the PS3

Dont buy it. Get a wireless bridge and connect it that way. It will save you money.

The Red Ring of Death still exists, but with the free replacement policy there is really nothing to worry about.

360's are still getting RROD's. Ive had 2 friends with Falcon Chip equipped 360's, who take care of the consoles, have them fail within a few months. And mine broke down a few weeks ago, and when it comes back in the mail sometime next week, Im selling the piece of crap to buy a system that is quality (PS3). Sorry 360 fanboys, I demand something that doesnt break twice in a year despite excellent care.....
