would you be surprised if Microsoft found a nice quick fix on the 360 with the new chip & MB or gave up on trying to fix it and just said screw it, just replace it with the other spare crap we have and send it back to the customer.

In the end its still going to RROD. and you want to know when it will stop RROD? when Bill Gates comes out of his retirement and steps in a giant Altar and says: "My Children!! The Cure to your Abomination has arrived!" Until then, don't hold your breath like David Blaine, doesn't matter how fast they can fix it when thousands of people around the world are RR each day.

New york fucking city and almost two fucking goddam fucking months. I had an elite, maybe they take longer

I'd have to check but it was around 2-3 weeks. Oh yeah, and my location is Connecticut.

@ MechaMonkey,

"It's around 30%, and all will probably fail early. This quarter they are expecting 1 M failures, most of those Xenons. Some of those are repeat failures. Life expectancy is all over the map because the design has very little margin for most of the important parameters. That means it's not a fault tolerant design. So a good unit may last a couple of years, while a bad unit can fail in hours. I have a launch unit and have not had a single problem with it. And it's used a lot. But I don't know anyone else with a 360 that hasn't broken, except you now. There's no way to tell when yours might die. But the cooler you can keep it, the longer it will probably last. So stand it up, keep it in free air, etc. :Note : Xenon was the code name for the first Xbox 360 mother board."

and the math is pretty simple:

30% of 15,000,000 World Wide Units = _________ / 365 days a year = ________ which = to my statement.

and honestly, 30% is just being nice, im pretty sure that number has raised.

Yay math! I'm glad I clicked through. I haven't had a RROD repaired in 2008.

I'm one of the lucky ones, I've never had the RROD, my friend still has his launch model and has never experienced a single hiccup, yet working in retail I've seen hundreds of faulty returns.

Don't own a tree sitty but my friend and bro does.

My friend is on his 2nd and his disc doesn't eject anymore he has to take the front panel off and use a steak knife and my brother is on his 3rd.....

Mine took a week after i had sent it. I'm in New Zealand.

oh yeah I just read the full post... I'm a jerk


My answer: Turnaround time: N/A - I tried to do it through the system and MS rejected my ID and told me to call. After trying on hold for a half hour I just fucking bought a new core system instead of dealing with support to get a swapped 360 that would die soon after.

Just under two weeks... I think. In the Nasty. PEople don't really call it that anymore.. do they?

I had my first RROD the day that Oblivion cmae out, and it took me 3 weeks total time(waiting for the box, sending it, sending it back to me) however a month later the one that was "repaired" RROD on me and it took 6 weeks to get a new one.( I even sent it back UPS NDA through the company I work for and it still took super long) However the explained to me that they were running tests on mine and that they were sending me a new one. Apparently I had multiple problems with mine. However I have not had a consistant RROD on this new one (once or twice it has done it, but if I turn it off then back on it works fine).
