This question about the slim has probably been asked before but..

Does the Xbox 360 Slim really have a much smaller chance to get the RROD? Because if it does, that is basically the buying point for me.

Yup, good point.

TC, I think they will have resolved the RRoD issue. If they didn't they'd risk being mocked even more by the gaming industry as having such terrible failure rates. From what I've seen/heard it's got better ventilation (notice the big fan), so overheating shouldn't be an issue.

werent the problems resolved with the jasper models? i've had my jasper model over a year with no probs. cant be any worse unless there is a new problem, lol

I am under the impression that you have not seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu0mnpbFMt4 The RRoD technically does not exist as they have removed the red LED's from the console but if this has anything to show then the failure rates havent improved that much.JM_MUFC

I'm not in denial or anything but I have a feeling that MAY be fake. Also, he obviously has not given his Xbox 360 Slim enough room to breathe by placing it inbetween those 2 other consoles. Can't it also be his disk causing the problem? I heard it is not recommended to place your xbox360 vertically like that.

That is so fake when that happened to my xbox there wasn't just lines all the textures were messed up and it froze and turned off

So far my ELITE has worked very well, unless i get the ring i'd trade it orherwise i prefer to have less room in my HDD than to trade for a version that could get broken like any other.

It runs cooler, so I'd assume that the chances for RRoD are lower.

I fail to see what it considered 'slim' about it and it says nothing about an Xbox slim on xbox.com. Its official name is Valhalla so far.

Yes people! Listen to this guy. Honestly, RRoD hasn't been a problem for a while. Since the regular Xbox 360 models with the newer chipsets don't have any problems, I'd imagine ANOTHER improvement wouldn't either... common sense.

considering the new xbox is small enough to fit inside the current ones why cant it be a "slim"

stop trying to be a smartass. it's refered to as the slim because it's a smaller version of the 360 and it's just a name. you know what he's talking about so why do you have to be so technical about it? we know it's not the official name, if there even is gonna be an "official" name. it's just a new model of the xbox 360.

and also, tc, no one has the new 360, so no one knows if it has less of a chance to get rrod. there hasnt been much of a problem with the new chipset, so obviously there shouldnt be much problem with the new xbox. there are always going to be those systems that fail and need replacement if you get unlucky. who cares, they will replace it...so i dont see what the problem is. a few weeks without your system isnt going to kill you.
