And beside that my uncle with MS has basically lost his leg now for the sickness.

Yes,fucking FUN WEEKEND:

FUCKING HELL.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

First RROD lasted me 2 years.

Atleast I got to finish over 25 games before it fucked up

Xbox 360' s are designed to break. I' m not sure why people buy them. It' s not like you can expect ANYTHING good from Microsoft.

I got one because it was a lot more fun than my ps3 which I had for nearly a year before I got the 360.

The consoles all have their problems, sadly, the 360' s is largely the fact that it isn' t reliable(and noisy as hell). Though for me it still ends up being the best of all 3 atm because of the game lineup.

At least youll get a new unit with a HDMI port and the new chipset.
I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Possibly, but I didn' t think it was practice for them to replace the mobos. They' d have to replace the perfectly functional DVD drive along with the board if they did, as the board & drive are " married" .

Bastards.[:' (]

It' d make sense to do so, but there have been plenty of cases of people receiving the same unit back, with a quick solder reflowing, only to die the next day.

Microsoft has finally brightened up, and instead of waiting for the new 65nm GPUs, have already replaced their X-clamps in Elites (confirmed in Elites, rumored in others) with bolts, as was done months prior in the modding scene.

Quez, sorry to hear about your situation. As they say, things come in three' s, so only one more to get out the way.

It' s quite crazy actually, your first 360 RROD roughly the same time as mine and mine has just this week gone tits up itself.

My synth died the week before that and my comps new 650gb primary HD the week before. I' ve had my three now, hope your third is something minor!

As for the repair, I actually got my original unit back, that or MS did a " ringer" and changed serial number stickers over - even the manf. date was the same, all my mates consoles have certainly seemed new so perhaps as I was one of the first or because I threw a shit-fit at them as they turned it round in less than a week.

This one I have to join the queue the same as everyone else!

How long are people waiting for their new unit these days?

At least I get a 3yr warranty now.

No, the Elites manufactured pre-September are dropping like flies. As I said when the Elite first launched, the secondary heat sink and epoxied chips wouldn' t provide adequate heat-dissapation and warp-prevention, and guess what? They weren' t!

They replaced the X-clamps with bolts in mid September, and the improved boards hit stores later that month.
