My dad's 360 lasted for 2 years as well until it got the rrod. His warranty was still intact though so it got repaired and sent back with no money involved. I wouldn't say that its rare for you to have a 360 for 2 years and it getting the rrod but...who knows?

Do you really need to ask. You hear about the red ring all the time.

No, it's not rare. Actually, it's very common and if anything, it's rare a 360 will last two years.

Mine lasted from day one until a couple months ago before it died. Thankfully they made the RROD a 3 year warrenty coverage. Mine will be up on my first console soon.

Mine lasted since launch until this past March. So about 2 and a half years. I sent it in, and the system I got back now makes a loud grinding noise whenever it is booting up. I hope it breaks soon because now I have a new warrenty ;)

33% of xbox users will get rrod.

mine lasted bout 2 1/2 yrs. I know for a fact id leave my 360 on for 4 hrs + sometimes. so i did play my part. people that take better care of the system will more likely avoid the rrod longer.
