Any Xbox system can RROD on you. One of my Elites did.

Yeah, any 360 can get the red rings regardless of what model it is or how new it is.

I have had mine for a little over a year and im got one. So yea anything possible. I played mine a lot between me and my brother so it had plenty of hours on it, but i sent it to microsoft and they sent me a new one for free. It stunk becaus eit took them three weeks to do so.

The newer the system the less of a chance you run of getting RROD due to changes in the Motherboards. The new Elites have the Jasper motherboards which should practically be RROD free. Once Microsoft changes over to the Valhalla motherboard RROD will be a thing of the past.

Not impossible for it to happen at all.

If it's a newer model with HDMI though, it should have less chance of getting it, but there is always a chance.

Open the XBOX 360 console up and replace the X-Clamps with Washer, Bolts and Thermal Paste.
