Hi All,

I was wondering if the RROD was corrected for the new xbox 360 model. I know that by design the new one dont have rings of light but Im talking about the failure rate of the new hardware.

It is an honest question, I am considering buying one.

Thanks to all

I read that the RROD rate for the newer Xboxes has dramatically decreased. So I'd say it's pretty safe.

Pretty much this, slim has improved the 360 in about every way.

They are better then the old ones, but to be honest I do not know a single person that has owned an Xbox 360 that hasn't RROD's at least once, and most people (myself included) have had several go bad.

Make sure you have a warrenty, no matter what version you buy. Microsoft still covers new models, and most retailers (Play n Trade, Gamestop) will give you a 1-2 year no questions asked warrenty on used models for 10-20 dollars.
