I'm not really sure if I should be irritated at how shoddily made their product seems to be, or pleased and impressed at how quickly they got me my free replacement.
My first one died because of excess dusk intake which caused corrosion. Never had RROD before. I do have a friend who's had RROD about 10 times though. Still on the same xbox, and it's a first wave.

Well my first Xbox I bought in 2006 lasted just less then a year. It started mulching my disks. Luckily it was still in it's one year guarantee and the retailer swapped it for a new one (letting me keep my old hard drive) and giving me some free games to compensate for the chewed ones. Then that one RROD on me a few weeks ago. However Microsoft sent me a new one that seems to be much quieter and faster then the previous one.
Mine had a quarter red ring of death, so now I have a referbished one only now my power box or whatever the hell it's called. I call it the black box... the fan within it has malfunctioned and decided to break down so now it overheats rather fast and I am not shelling out 80.00 to get a new one. When I sent my Xbox in I got the no nothing idiot of Best Buy and said I had to send the Hardrive with it so I did. It payed off well though got a 120 GB hardrive instead. ^^
Yup, my first 360 got RROD, after over a year. Wasn't surprised, it was one of the original xbox's released. My second one seems very sturdy and I doubt it will fail... *fingers crossed*
