I am scared of getting a rrod thing with it. So please some one help me decide.
How to avoid rrod? is getting a 360 a test of luck?:(

I don't know anyone personally that has got teh RROD. I play mine every other day, sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes 6 or 7 hours at a time. I have been doing this for 3 years and had 0 problems. The chances of getting it is 3-5%. It is really an overheating problem. If you put it in a well ventilated area, or even by the extra cooling fan (I did not do this) then I would think you would lower that percentage even more. There is just as high a percentage of getting a processor overheat problem with a computer...especially if you don't take necessary ventilation precautions.
Also, microsoft extended the warranty to 3 years to cover the RROD. That tells me two things. 1. They stand behind their product 2. The RROD can't be that big of an issue or they would lose their tail covering all the warranty claims.
By the time your 3 year warranty is up, a next gen console will be out anyway.
If you have the extra scratch, do yourself a favor and get the elite...I don't even download that much stuff and I know I could use the extra hard drive space.
