    I have had the evil ring of fire three freaking times and each time was when a game that I really wanted to play came out!

    My Xbox hasn't really lagged or done anything jumpy lately so I think I'm good.

    Yes! Its been a long time since my xbox has been broken, but Microsoft said they fixed it and sent it back to me. Just to wait a little longer...

    raises hand. the fact that i borrowed the xbox from my boyfriend and played it while he was at work and stuff made it so much more scary. its actually happened like over 3 times i think. but afterwards, it would work again. then it finally just pooped and we sent it in haha

    How may RRoD's have I had? I've logged 7 incidents (10+ if you include unlogged due to power dropouts, or just forgot to log it), but the console still worked. Oddly enough though, what killed it though was an E 74. The GPU fried in the sucker. It was still covered under M$'s General Hardware Error 3 year limited plan, oddly enough. I have a pretty big blog post of it here (registration should not be required) if you want to read up on it.

    What sucks though, is that the refurbished console that I got back from M$ also has an A/V error with it, but it still works... after you turn it on and off a couple of times.

    sooner or later you'll get one, best thing to do is follow the adevice in xbox.com on how to avoid gettin it i.e dont put it next to heat sources i.e tv, radiator etc

    I thought I had it once but thank god it was just the video cable that had somehow come loose out of the back.
