The failures will stop (hopefully) when they start sending out boxes with the new 'Falcon' CPU. I say, wait until Christmas or
early next year to buy a 360. Of course by that time the game library will be rather extensive.

I stand by that statement....
Awaits FALCON cou 360...and will wait a bit longer to see if any fails...

cuz as proven on many online sources...the elite 360 fails as well...

I think it's the Trinidad Heat and Humidity, cause I live in NY, have my 360 Premium since January 2006 and have never ever had a problem, I have used it with the 360 standing up and lying down and it runs so cold that the only heat is from the air at the back of the unit. I am not sure but I think that the towel trick actually makes it worse, ask CowSquad, he used that trick and his died for good, stiffled the poor thing to death. Anyways, I think the high failures are just poor manufacturing and planning on Microsoft's behalf and the 3 year warranty is a must especially with this high failure rate, but it turns into more of a hassle to return the unit than anything else. I would still hold out till the 65nm chips are implemented until buying your first. I feel sorry for all those of you who have gotten the RROD, it's a shame Microsoft doesn't just chalk it up to experience and replace all the defective units with the new 65nm model. Make everyone happy. HALO 3 FTW!!

No, many people have their units on all the time in trinidad and no problems. I have only used mine in an AC environment and it still failed.

The 360 failure rate is 33%
And MS still hasnt gone public with the "exact" cause of it.

I bought my Halo360 last october and it failed (RROD) on me last week thursday

Hey Ago, who you sending it back to the US with? hit me a PM I MAY be able to help you out in getting it faster.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #26 on:** March 27, 2008, 12:14:26 PM »

Its amazing that after all this time...mine still works (knock on wood), when others purchased after I did are failing left
and right. I guess I was just lucky enough to get a trouble free one.

Besides me and Redlum, does anyone else have one that still works without any issues?

LOL, good point we never see Arcman on Live. But I have to thank God that mine has lasted for 3 years STRONG (*KNOCKING ON AMAZON RAINFOREST whatever is left after de-forestation and environmental devastation by man) But there are the 77% that are out there that work great with no problems...I am sticking to my original theory of the Trinidad HEAT is too much for the 360 design...

Hey! Like what I said, I bought it at a best buy in Florida so that's where i'm supposed to return it, because I got the two year contract with it.

If tings go good, ah should be up and runnin by nex week (crossing fingers). Does anyone on GATT have the Falcon chip 360's? Just curious to know how it performing.

Agokillya · « **Reply #33 on:** April 29, 2008, 11:36:54 PM »

Just so people know. If you are buying a new xbox, look for one's with the 175watt power supply. Those are the Falcon chipset.

Fkacn_tt · « **Reply #34 on:** April 30, 2008, 12:42:53 AM »

so the 360 with falcon chip, dose not have the RROD

WarOne · « **Reply #35 on:** May 07, 2008, 07:12:04 PM »

Can give me some information about how to go about returning a RROD system to be fixed, it is my brothers and he is frantic cause it crapped out right when he bought GTAIV.

woodyear99 · « **Reply #36 on:** May 09, 2008, 01:13:23 PM »

Call 18004MYXBOX, they will want the console serial number, a US address and phone number to send a prepaid UPS shipping box to. You pack the xbox without cables or hard drive into this cardboard box and send it back to the service center. It takes about 2 - 3 weeks to be repaired and shipped back. Also note that they can and often do send you back a refurbished unit so it may not be the same console you sent.
