I am going to buy a xbox permium soon but i am concerned about the ring of death. It seems alot of people are getting these, and i dont want to send my console back to microsoft right after i buy it. So, what is the actual percent of 360 owners who get the ring of death, and is there anyway to prevent it.

No one knows the actual percent of 360's that have gotten the rings of death but don't worry if you get the 3 rings, yes you'll have to send it back but you're covered with a 3 year warranty. As for what you can do to prevent it, keep it in an open area, keep it off the carpet, and don't put stuff on top of it. It would also be good to keep the power brink in an open area as well.

I don't know the actual percentage but I know that I have had mine since last november and my cousin has had his since launch and neither of us have had any trouble. You get a three year warranty though.
