to my understanding the Nyko cooling station for the 360 gave the RROD to the system, however i read that a newer version of these nixes that issue.

1. is that true?

2. if it does work, is the cooling station still worth it?

^thnks man

otherwise ill be looken to buy a 360 arcade which still isnt worth the 600+ dollars ive put into the 360(not including games)

My knowledge of the Xbox 360 fails me again.......Today my xbox gave me the error message E 74 and only one section of the ring lit up as red(as well as i noticed scorch marks on the back of my xbox but that seems to not have any connection....i hope)

To my understanding this is a hardware failure though it differs from the Red Ring of Death, I have already contacted Microsoft through XboxLive.com and i am to recieve a box to have them fix my problem

However, since this is not a RROD problem, does this not count for a warrenty?.....and if not, does this mean i hav to dish out some big bucks for Microsoft crappy hardware?

dnt get me wrong, i luv my 360 and i support MS but this is total BS! they shuld just giv everyone an Elite for there laziness in keeping Xbox Live intact during freakin Christmas and for crappy hardware!
