Jesus, anyone NOT get a RROD??

I have had mine a year and a half no RROD yet and so far no signs of it.

Lol maybe its because I live in minnesota and half the year its colder then a witch's tit.

I wonder if the RROD has alot to do with how much and often you play it. For example I am 29 and have a job and a 5 year old daughter to take care of, so I'm playing games maybe a few hours every other day when I have a new game, but then I might not play it for a week or so when I've beaten the games I have or have other things to do. Compared to a junior high or HS kid who can play 3-5 hours every day after school, then 6-10 hours on sat and another 6-10 hours on sun, maybe that has to do with getting a RROD alot faster then othersuschris0304

From the knowledge I've gained, yes and no. It seems to be one of a number of variables, and I'm sure that someone somewhere who has other commitments and played their Xbox with moderation suffered the RRoD. Likewise, I'm pretty sure that MOST owners of RRoD Xboxes played the console profusely. It seems to be about heating and cooling primarily. If you or I wrapped ours in any number of materials, our respective box would RRod after an hour, and I'm sure there's some kid in a temperate and relatively inhumid environment somewhere with his Xbox in a sunroom constantly running 6-12+ hours a day who will never have to deal with the RRoD. Insufficient cooling is the culprit, and both the Microsoft and the end-user are responsible. Microsoft should develop a more efficient cooling system, and the consumer should realize that maybe the Xbox isn't like every system, and can't be stacked alongside the others. I've heard or read so many people assert that they have their system "well-ventilated" only to see "My Setup" pics contradicting this statement. People often need to arrange their setup with consideration to the atmosphere and weather of the region in which they reside. This is all a cop-out for MS, though. The end-user shouldn't be expected to understand the physical properties of heat and temperature, nor the relationship between the two. It shouldn't even be an issue.

So like I said, yes and no. Stereotypically, you shouldn't have a problem unless you're stacking crap around the system; I haven't, nor will I ever, I assume. That isn't to say that there aren't OTHER issues, but I'm simply addressing the cooling/overheating issue.

No RROD here.

My systems on time is about 3000 hours.

I've had it since 06

I have never had it either but then again my 360 is only a month and a half old :P hopefully I am as lucky as you.

i got my xbox on the christmas it qwas released and only had my first RROD about a week ago, waiting to send it off now, atleast its free repairs on RROD

It'll come..III-Rob-III

not every 360 gets RROD,my friend and 1 I have had our 360s for 1 year and 1 month with no problems

I've gotten the RROD Several times (Yes, 3 red rings with hardware error and diskread error). However, i have never had to send it in to microsoft. You see, the advantage to having been a PC gamer all my life is i know how to work with hardware. The first time it was the DVD rom in the 360. So, i picked up a DVD Rom cleaner (It's a little DVD with brushes on it) ran it through and then the xbox ran fine. The second time was a hardware error. So i unplugged it, took it into the kitchen, and sprayed it out with a can of air.

Unless you drop your 360 on the ground, most of the RROD errors you get you can probably fix yourself.

My very first 360 screwed me the very first night I had it but I got it on Ebay and the Box it came in was all messed up, fortunetely I got a mostly full refund. My new one has no problems and I have had it for a year.

I've had my 360 Pro since just before thanksgiving 2006, and havent had a RROD yet. The worst thing I've had is a disk read error or unreadable disk while in the middle of playing either NCAA 08 or Madden 08 I forget which one. But I own COD4, RB6 Vegas, Halo 3, Bioshock, etc and havent had any disk error problems. But after reading for days now how many people are on there 3rd, 4th, even 9th xbox, thats INSANE!!. Now I'm scared to even turn my 360 on anymore. Is there anyone out there like me that has had there 360 for a year or more and hasnt had a RROD?? Instead of reading about who HAS had a RROD, I want to read about who HASNT had it so maybe I can feel a little better

thanks

Read your warranty, it is only vull and invalid if you tamper with the hardware. And that's only possible if you open the case of the 360. You can spray out all of the dust WITHOUT opening your 360. It's called vents. Spray those. Also, using a disc cleaner...isnt even close to tampering. Besides, it's not even possible for them to know you ever did those things. Derr.
