    I was thinking earlier and i started to wonder........How many Forge Hubbers have got the dreaded red ring of death, and how many times. Personally, I have only had it once, and it was a PAIN.

    twice. both times i got a new one next-day thanks to Best Buy 2-year extended warranty. (thank god)

    The latest time, I not only a got a new 360, but it was the new falcon one with HDMI and Forza2 and Marvel:UA. And, since the system is now cheaper, renewing my service plan was then cheaper!

    I am pretty sure that not just Elites but every Xbox can still get the RROD. The new 65 nanometer chip has decreased it significantly but there are rumors going about that Microsoft is adding another component to decrease/redirect the heat output to upcoming Xbox's.

    microsoft loves giving new ones lol. BURN THE ASHES OF THE OLD!

    did you try and fix it be4 u sent it in? that could be caused by dust covering the disc reader.

    Never. I do have a question though however. How do you get all of your saved memory back? Do you just keep your hard drive and then send it in?

    You keep your Hard Drive with you, but if your Hard drive goes bad, your screwed.


    Also.....sometimes Microsoft gives you stuff to basically say "sorry". I got one free month of XBL. Did you get anything ( Those of you who had the RROD )

    lol nice pictures but I actually traded my gears of War in to help pay for halo 3 so I guess in a twisted way RROD helped me to get halo.
