i'm on my 2. 360, and havent even SEEN a RRoD yet. only in pictures. and i find it highly unlikely (though not impossible) that some people seem to have several 360 die on them whilst others just dont have the problem. i think RRoD can also somewhat be blamed on owners, seing as its the same people who get it over and over again.
and there are a lot of things that will show 3 red rings, without it being RRoD, the powercable thing mentioned above is one, and the HDD not being in corrctly is another.
i have both next-gen consoles (i'll eat my own ass before calling wii Next-Gen); and i enjoy my 360 far more than my ps3. its not about RAM (nor raam), its not about looks, its not about six-axis. its about games..!
that, and the fact that the 360 controller is far better designed and ergonomically fitted. imo.

I take perfect care of all my consoles. Have since the NES days. My 360 red ringed FOUR TIMES. I've never, not once, had to repair or replace a console in my 25 years of gaming until 360.
I will at least admit the return was speedy.

Haha the Phantom. They were giving away t-shirts reading "I believe" at some convention because people started questioning its existence.

I am on my 4th Xbox due to RROD, and I can say it has nothing to do with the way the Xbox has been treated. I have owned most consoles since the NES and I haven't ever had troubles before. After my first RROD--just to be sure--I made sure my Xbox was even more well-ventilated than before, and I have still had 2 more. While that is irritating, even with the trouble I love the 360 and would buy a new one if MS didn't repair it under warranty.

I love the Nintendo 64 and I still have mine AND it works sweet right? My 360 on got the RROD becuase my brother was stupid enough to leave it turned on for 16 hours but I got it fixed the day it broke with a slightly illegal yet very effective method. anyway good article keep 'em up.

I'm in the vacation time of my second RROD and I'm gaming strong on my laptop. Hey if they pay, I'm not complaining but I was ticked the first time it happened and it's prob due to the fact that I have pets and smoke in my house. I was really hoping for 1:1 movement with Red Steal and Metroid. Oh and I soooo wish I could play GH online but damn you satellite broadband! ><

also my 360 never got lights but it just froze instantly on start up 3 months after i bought it...the shop wouldnt take it back at first but did the second time! and this was in 2008...so i had to fork out for a fan because of their technical short-comings! :@

Why does the Xbox 360 have heat issues? Could it be the users, could it be the environment in the house or could it be case design?
Video cards in the PCs will get very hot and is prone to failure over time. If the Xbox 360 GPU is also getting really hot over time, in time heat stress or heat fatigue would probably cause the failure.
