For Those of You Who Suffered Through RRoD...

www.xbox.com its on the right hand side

Man thats rough knowing that a fairly new piece of hardware is more then likely going to die at any time within 1-2 years of purchase. I say we rename the RROD to "360 Cancer".

Honestly!

If people start calling it Cancer, then MS will be more inclined to hurry up and fix the problem. Nothing says action like bad PR and Dollar signs.

Yea I can see the headlines now.

MICROSOFT CURES CANCER


People will gobble up whatever M$ is selling because IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!


:D

sorry, i was hoping the 99% stat would alert everyone's sarcasm detectors

Granted that poll was taken 2+ months ago, but even if a few more people have had their 360s fail it's nowhere near the 75% mark you cite.

Remember again to everyone, mine hasn't died yet, I just wasn't sure of the process :)

I used the 1-800-4MY-XBOX number, but it can be done at xbox.com as well I believe.

So I got my 360 back yesterday and I've been playing it for a few hours and so far so good. I did in fact get the same console I sent in, but with some modifications. I can see a copper pipe so I believe it has the new heatsink and the DVD-ROM has been changed to a BenQ. Of course there is no HDMI as that would've required a new shell and pretty much a new console. I'm guessing that it doesn't have a Falcon motherboard and 65nm CPU or whatever unless they are made without HDMI. I don't really know much about them and I'm not about to open the console to have a look, heh. As far as noise it seems about the same (fairly quiet) as before and the exhaust temperature is similar as well (quite warm).
