I bought a used 360 last July off of Ebay, no idea how long the previous owner had it. It's been working perfectly fine all this time with no issues..

Predicting if your console will get the RRoD is akin to being able to guess the lottery numbers..

If you keep it well ventelated and you dont let it over heat, you'll be fine.

I've had mine since launch and have only had some freezing issues on games known for freezing. But my brother who got hisa yearlater has gone through two of them. If the gut you bought it from didn't have problems and you got a great deal on it vs buying a new one you're going to make out on the deal.

If you treat it good there should not be a problem.

33% according to ebgames. It's probably higher, esp in summer.

To avoid the red rings of death make sure you don't get it wet, keep it out of the light, AND DO NOT FEED AFTER MIDNIGHT! That should help
