I was thinking about buying one and i was wondering, how frequent is the RROD? do some of you still have launch units that are still functional and never went to get fixed?
RRoD is extremely rare in newer (Jasper) models....get one manufactured in 2009. I have a Falcon model (model before Jasper) and have never had any problems.
The RRoD Is pretty rare. My friend got it and nothing would play so he had to bang on the back of his xbox to get it to work. He got it fixed though. I had it and it didn't do crap. The 1 red ring is the true problem. That's when you get a system error and when you turn on your xbox you can't do anything. It just says "System Error 73 -- Go to xbox.com for details" And I got that fixed, but I got an elite now so I shouldn't have any problems.
It depends on how well you take care of your system. If you keep the vents clear and even throw so wind in there for them, it won't RROD that easily, if ever. I got the E 74 and I haven't gotten RROD at all. Just take care of your 360 if you buy it.
