I sent my 2nd console in a week ago and I'm hoping for a newer console (even if it is a refurb) because I'm guessing those are more reliable. Has anyone gotten one back recently with a recent MFR date? I've already gotten the RROD twice, including my 2nd one also having lots of freezing problems before it got the RROD.

I'm just scared that the one I get back will have problems like disc drive problems or the console scratching disks because I've heard this is the new RROD. Should I be worried?

I don't think you should be worried. Some of my friends said newer consoles are better.

i dont understand how so many peple get the RRoD more than once.... i know of no one in RL who's got it, and all my friends have a 360. i think you'd be better off with a new one, if you get it. cooler, quieter.... and most of the time, scratches on discs do nothing at all.

Alright, thanks. I just can't help reading people who have experienced all of these disc drive problems and problems where the console scratches the disks. I've already gotten the RROD twice and I don't want to experience more problems.

The new ones are very nice. Not loud and the RROD issue is fixed. Its also got an HDMI port. I love mine. I can play it all day and leave it for for like 12 hours and its barely warm.

When was yours manufactured? Did you get this back from Microsoft after one of yours died or did you buy this recently?
