They Fedexed a shipping container to me to send it back and the people that work at fedex new what it was for right away. They said they get about 9 of these a day.... :shock: For a city of a million. They should get there stats from the shipping company. It would most likey be a more accurate number. As for the RR0D I didn't even get that. The video just failed. I've bought a PS3 since then. Its been great. BTW the 3 warranty covers the RROD only. I had to raise a stink to get them to cover My issue. :evil: Mine bricked on me at christmas exactly one year after I bought it.

The failure rates are certainly a problem, yet I still feel as if the numbers are inflated. The reason they are not offering this as an option is probably that it would be more work for Microsoft.

I bought my 360 in November of 2006. It bricked on me about three weeks ago. According to FedEx tracking it's supposed to be back tomorrow. MS paid the shipping both ways and repaired it for free (as it would do for anyone else who got RRoD in the first three years, I'm not special), so I'm pleased that they are dealing with the issue. I do wish they would offer a cross-ship option. When I enter the repair request, take a credit card number. Ship me a new 360 in the coffin. If they don't get mine back in some reasonable amount of time, charge me for a new 360. They don't fix your unit and send it back to you anyway (the serial number changed on my registered devices page on Xbox.com), so why not offer this as an option? Other companies do it all the time.

I've never had the RROD, but the last 2 xboxes I have owned the DVD drive failed. My xbox now was starting to freeze so I used a lens cleaner and it hasnt had any problems since then.

I got red ringed a few times but I just immediately turned of off, let it sit for a while and no more problems. My girlfriend even dropped the Pro which caused it to red ring for a while, let it sit, came back later and it was fine. From my personal experienced, they're made pretty well. Even through very long (4+ hours) gaming sessions. Meh, I’ve got two 360’s, a near launch Pro and an Elite, and I’ve not had any long-standing issues with either.

The last time it happend was the first week of January this year. To Microsoft's credit, I was only without it for about a week - week 1/2. Even though it has failed me twice I would still rather push a 360 than drive a PS3......... :cool: Mine has RRoD on me twice since I got it in September of 2006.
