Is the Elite truly that good? And in this particular case, what I mean by good is "does not get Red Rings of Death as often as the Premium or the Core". In order to find out, I thought I'd make this little poll. It's by no means definitive, but it would give us a rough idea of the failure rates of the elite vs the other Xboxs.

Please tell us, if your 360 has failed, how many times it did so. Did you have 1 RROD? 3? Were they all on the same type? Or did you, like many, buy a Core, have it fail many times, then get a Premium, only to have THAT fail too?

I'm making this poll because I bought my Elite specifically because I heard it got fewer RROD. Except that just a few days ago, it started freezing up, which as I understand it is one of the first warning signs of RROD...

The elite has almost the exact same internal hardware as any other 360.

for crying out loud - i love how MS can stamp the word Elite or Halo on anything and people automatically assume it's superior to what is already out there.

you want to know what the only difference between and elite and premium is? the 120gb HD and color- new prems have the same sink setup. Seriously, if you want the bigger HD, get it, however, it will NOT help you avoid RROD or system failures any better than a premium.
