So yesterday I figure that I'll reward myself after having posted what I thought was a cute little bit about Scaredy Squirrel on my site, I head to the man-cave to continue my long-since-last-played Modern Warfare campaign on the 360. No joke, less than 2 minutes in, it locks up on me and I get the RROD immediately thereafter. This is almost exactly 50 weeks since receiving the replacement console after sending in my first deceased 360. If I'm lucky I get to play for an hour a week, and lately I've often gone two to three weeks without playing at all. I could almost understand it, even almost accept it, if I'd worn the damn thing out, but seriously... Right peeved.

The drama will only continue... I'm on my 6th xbox 360 now! I feel your pain!
Call MS and ask to speak to a resolution specialist since this is a multiple failure for you. Tell them you want some concessions for the trouble.
They'll offer you some crappy 4 year old games.. ask what else they have. You can get a wireless controller, vision cam, ect. Next time I'm asking for a freaking wireless N adapter.
Oh yeah, don't forget to ask for overnight shipping (although they typically reserve this for 3rd or greater repairs.

Oops, replied to the wrong thread. Too anxious to play FF13.

Wow. Are these XBOX 360 problems common? Glad I went with the PS3.

PS3 has it's problem too, but yes it is pretty common. I am on my third 360 as well (in 4.5 years).

Wow. Are these XBOX 360 problems common? Glad I went with the PS3. Early units are suspect for RROD problems, and replacements are refurb units (eg early units repaired). My bro's first gen 360 RROD'd, I fixed it and gave it away (bitch to open without warping some of the plastic with a flathead). The new one he bought has been flawless, and it is a MUCH quieter unit. I still think these consoles are pressing the limits of heat dissipation in such a small box. There's a reason why PC gear has such extravagant cooling options.
