I was thinking, of those who get the RROD (or have never had the RROD), do you play it everyday for 2+ hours or are you an on and off player (plays when you get a new game).

I want to get a 360 and am worried about the RROD, but from my experience with the PS2, i play mainly when I get new games and never more than 2+ hours at a time?

Just wondering to see how much I am at risk.

I play my 360 all day unless I go to the mall or school. Before I got my Elite, I got them maybe 3 or 4 times and when I did I just turned it off for a day or two and then it was fine. I only had to send it back once.

I don't play for very long periods of time and I got the RROD. It was a launch console though. The 360 they sent me back has worked perfectly ever since. (knock on wood)

I'm playing it whenever I'm home, which is a lot. Most people would watch tv or go on the comp, I don't. I play it around 3 hours a day on weekdays and around 9 on weekends. Never had a problem and I have the so called "crappy" launch console.

The better consoles though have been out for a while. Better heatsinks, etc...

My 360 Elite is on pretty much from 12:00noon til 10:00 at night. My brothers get out of school and all their friends come over to play it on our 60'' Plasma and by the time they leave for football, I'm home from class and work and am right back on it. Then we switch it up til around 10/11 at night. Never had a single problem with it and I've had it since launch. That's 10 hours a day, 7 days a week pretty much so.....70hours a week and nothing wrong :3 OK!

i dont have my playtime recorded to the exact like all these people :P lol but i play a lot at nights, no problems

the RROD happens, but its exaggerated a lot, you shouldnt have any problems (hopefully)

basically, im not saying that it doesnt happen, but its no reason to not buy a 360 for

they have those bugs fixed by now. don't not buy a console because of the RROD. they don't even come up that often anymore, and those that do come up are usually only on launch consoles. get a 360, they're amazing!

Those who haven't had a RROD, would you consider the place where you keep the 360 well ventilated? Do you clean or dust or just take really good care of the console?
