Is it true that the elite console have a lower chance of going faulty?Filthy_Angel
yeah elites ALMOST never die-(sounds like something from Halo haha) out of everyone I kno who has an elite I have never heard of an elite dying but on second thought mostly all the xboxes that have been released with an HDMI port have a lower fail percentage hopefully this helps
My friends Elite died I think 6 months after he got it (his was one of the first ones though). I have the Arcade thats less than 6 months old from the date of manifacture but I'm still completely paranoid about getting the RROD especially when it starts runnig really hot.
The newer arcades are less likely to die than the old elites... the only elites that are "known" to have the Jasper board are the new Resident Evil edition consoles... and even some people are saying that not all do... but most newer arcades all have the Jasper chipset...
i have my 3rd xbox 360 coming in the mail today. Not an elite though. I have heard that elites have a processor called a falcon processor or something like that, which doesnt burn up as easy.

I wouldn't say so, my friend's elite lasted like two months. You shouldn't worry too much about it, there's no point. You still know it's going to mess up sometime after a couple of months, and if it doesn't then you are one of the lucky ones. Just make sure you get the warranties where they exchange the 360for a new one, unlike best buys and wal marts where they will tell you that they have to ship it to I don't know where and you have to wait weeks(service plans).
Im sorry for u... Thats why im going for playstation again on next gen... I dont have money to rebuy consoles all the time, like i need to do with xbox =/
[QUOTE="noONEbreaks1715"]Im sorry for u... Thats why im going for playstation again on next gen... I dont have money to rebuy consoles all the time, like i need to do with xbox =/ ya i've actually given up this gen..... sent my 360 into MS because i got E77, they wanted to charge me to fix it, i found a 20 gb ps3 and a really big external drive on ebay for like 50 bucks more, done with dying consoles. now the worst that happens is i think it's broken and won't give me my disk when really the disk tray is empty...
After my Pro died the 2nd time I actually picked a newer model Arcade & have had no problems with it. Microsoft really screws you over after your console dies, they keep sending you refurbished pieces of crap hoping they will last through your warranty.
I have my Xbox360 since more than 2 years now ! It's the arcade version. It never died on me, ever, and i play a lot. Sometimes i go out and i forget it open..
I think it depends a lot on where you keep ur console too. I keep mine in a very open space and it's far from walls, so there is plenty of air flowing through.
I had mine for about a year, worked great with no problems, and then for a couple days it would freeze randomly with lines on the screen so I played sparingly. Then I finally got the e74 error after like 2 days of that and sent it in under warranty. I got it back like two weeks after and it broke with in hour and a half. Same Error. I'm still waiting lol.
