Red Ring Of Death!

[IrishJedi]

How many of you with chronic 360 RROD issus have the Elite?

I've never had a problem with mine. Fingers crossed...

 

[Migwit]

Not me. Just got the plain old version. What does the Elite have that's different?

Most of them have the new heatsink or the new chipset, but that goes for the other versions as well. Basically anything after like July of last year or something and then September for the chipset.

Would the new chip set be what's being replaced due to the RROD? If so, then I guess we have the new chip set, but in an old XBox.

Umm the saying should go:

Get a xbox=get a RROD.

Yeah lol i didnt have much luck at all.
tho all seems good now and im keeping my fingers crossed as i love having blasts on gta4 to let off steam from work lol

I've played mine enough, and never had RROD.

Anandtech link from my post back on page 1 explains how to check lot date codes and visual cues to see if you have heatsink and new smaller gated chip that minimizes RROD occurrences.

Yeah, I'll be playing my PS3 till my 360 gets fixed.

I'm still very pissed.

I know this is not the ps3 thread, but is there any infamous problem with the ps3?
