well it really depends on what game you are running and for how long you play at a time. The RROD is when the sodders come loose from the processor.

Its not safe to play it on the carpet. The vents will suck stuff up.

I got my 360 when it first came out, exacly 1 year and +1 day later i got RROD. Got it repaired and all that, Since then i've had the RROD come up two more times, last one being in August of this year. If it dies one more time, i'm just going to go buy a new one, prolly the elite.

nobody can tell a person that as nobody knows how it happens. my first 360 last me 4 months the new model i got now is lasting about a year. as u can tell a person can't tell. Only way to tell is by going in the future of when the 360 rrods, but theres no such thing as a time machine yet..

If you're playing on the carpet and waiting for a stand, why don't you get a book, box, anything hard to place your 360 on until the stand arrives? As for RRoD, you have a 3 year warranty covering it since the manufacture date of the console, so if you just recently purchased it from a retailer, you pretty much don't have to worry about getting it RRoD, since it will be replaced free of charge.
