Is there a chance that the evil RROD would appear once again after installing the Fall Update?

RROD is a hardware problem, fall update is software, they have viratully nothing to do with eachother.

That's why we wait until some brave soul try it out and post results, but technically it's not called the rrod, but a glitch or error in the update, like the one that happened recently to the ps3 and x360 before

Mines from launch too, never had any problems. (better knock on wood here)

I doubt the RROD problem could ever be caused by a software update, other issues though could pop up. I'll volunteer to be a second guinea pig. If something ever goes wrong I could always use a bigger HD anyway.

The Fall update doesn't have to do anything with the RROD, but it did help us to directly download the game on the hard disk, this will reduce disk scratches and disk problems.

The thing is, a new motherboard(Jasper) is actually going to be upgraded into the 360 by this August, that hopefully will reduce the RROD below than 10%.

Don't play it for like 12 hours, if you like your 360 then don't break it.

I was just asking because with the first major update, there were some problems regarding RROD (kinda like what ahppened with 2.4 on the PS3).

RROD is a hardware problem, fall update is software, they have viratully nothing to do with eachother.

It may take more proccessing power to run the new software and cause it to overheat. And overheating is related to RRoD? So yeah they are related.

The original xbox was a fine machine and it's the hardware that isnt perfect on 360 not the software. If you talking windows then you have a point but with so many consumers your bound to run into many problems.

I thin there is a change that the fall update will conlfict with some versions of 360, its the same with any update for any machine. It's a complex machine so it's possible, both 360 and PS3 has had it before so the changes are there.

I thought I got the RROD today, but it was just a 1 second blackout, but yeah i don't think an update would change much.
