I am the only person that I know who is still on his origional 360. My DVD drive did stop reading the disks after about 2 years, but I just replaced the drive myself, and its working perfectly again :)
It's my old faithful, but it's true they don't make tech like they used to.
Same here, my circle of friends all have the box of x as well and at last count only 2 of us have (so far) gotten away without suffering any issues.
Me too.

All fo my buddies have been ring-raped at some point but me. I live in fear.

Even my GF's dad's 360 red ringed. They used it twice.
I now can't help but feel that in the next few days one of us will experience 'issues' with the 360.

The gods of fate have been tempted. RUN!
Oh God not this week, of all weeks...

My 360 has had two Red Rings of Death (the 3-sectioned ring), three Red Rings if you count the one time Microsoft sent my Xbox back to me without fixing it.

1 and 3 segments means there's a system problem, 2 means it overheated, and 4 means it isn't connected.

Wild stab in the dark here - Dragon Age?
He.. No... MW2, despite my conflicted feelings about it. Plus I'm Levelling my Borderlands Lilith up to 50, at which point I will get my third ever 1000GP...

(the other two are COD4 and Oblivion, not that anyone cares lol)

Oh yeah...that's out next week isn't it...somehow I did actually forget (god only knows how). I'll be ploughing through Dragon Age starting tomorrow, yay!

Also, back on topic, my box just got the segment light up for loose SCART/Power lead at the back. So not exactly RROD or anything but that's my turn done with, you're next....

3 red rings. Those 3 bastard rings that made me put off CoD 4 for two months after I was just hooked.

Surely I can't be the only one who saw the thread title and immediately started thinking of Genshiken...

That's why I keep my PC up to date...well for Mass Effect 2 and dragon age at least 8)
Yeah, I just don't like to game on PC and I can't be bothered to mimic a console setup with my PC. I'm what another PS3 fanboy on here calls a "lazy" gamer. Of course, he calls me that because I don't like gaming on PC and therefore believe that titles like Mass Effect are exclusive to the 360. For me at least. But, I digress.

The PS3 has come into it's own now, but I'm just as happy continuing on with my 360.

xbox's have a 54% failure rate, and it sounds like yours did exactly that.

Obvious troll....
I'm not sure how you deduced that... it seems a reasonable post to me.
That was the troll part. The original poster and I have settled our differences.

I need to clarify this:

It isn't a damn ring if it isn't 4 lights! A complete circle is a ring!

OT: Just send it in for repairs.
I was going to say that :( now i don`t know what to do with this post..... well i could go through the usual motions but bah....

Bought my 360 in 2006. It RRODed for the third time recently so I think i've given up on the 360 for a while.

Got a PS3, which is fine but I miss, my 360 controller! And I keep getting an error message saying i've been signed out of PSN. Then I get signed back in/out/in/out. Which is 'mildly' annoying when playing online. Oh! And it always takes about 10 minutes just to download game settings in COD4.

While typing this, I'm REALLY missing my 360! I wanna buy an Elite, but I can't afford it right now. MY 360 timed its demise perfectly with the imminent release of COD:MW2. Damn. Damn. DAMN!

No not really. People who make stupid statements just to piss people off and annoy them are trolls. He was just talking about a real life experience.
Hey, that's fine if he had 2 360's bite it on him and they made fun of 360 at his local game store. I've had 2 fail on me as well. The Troll part comes from him quoting that stupid Game Informer survey as though it were a fact, which falls well in line with your "people who make stupid statements just to piss people off" rules.
And the fact that you called him an obvious troll isn't making "a stupid statement just to piss people off". Sorry, had to be said.
Yeah, you're right... maybe I should have taken a survey of how many people thought he was a troll and quoted the results from that.
You could stop trying to police the forums and leave it to the mods? Or perhaps ignore the "trolling" and avoid adding fuel to the fire?

Just an couple of suggestions there.
Hmmm and you're not trying to police the forums by asking me to stop pointing out trolls? I was also not the only one to call him a troll either so I've obviously got a point. Also, now you are saying that he's trolling when just a few posts ago you were not. Try following your own advice and stop defending the troll while you're at it.
This is going round in a huge circle so I'll give you the massive amounts of satisfaction that "winning" this discussion will give you. Enjoy.

Anyhoo, getting back on topic (my apologies to the others in this thread). A friend of mine got his 360 back yesterday after having sending it off for repairs. A day later and it has actually RROD'd again. Problem is it can't actually be registered for another repair with it having been returned so soon. Shame that such a good console has such a large drawback.
