From what I have been told and read, yes. Thats why MS is not charging for the RROD repairs.

An update on my repair.

Aug 11th(sat) - Xbox gets RROD.
Contact MS Customer service for repairs.

Aug 13th(mon) - MS sends return box to me.

Aug 16th(thurs) - I receive box and send back immediately.

Aug 17th(fri) - My xbox is on its way to TX after leaving
Memphis.

So hopefully they get it on Monday and ship me a fixed one sometime next week (I highly doubt it will be that quick). I have been told 2-4 weeks repair time, but people I have been talking to say its less than 2 weeks 95% of the time.

I've had mine for about a year and like OrangePuck and ASUcruz, haven't had any issues.

My brother recently turned his in and it only took 3 weeks total from getting the RROD to getting a new (or refurbished) system.

The question is, how long do you guys play for? 2-3 hours a day? More?

I'm lucky to get 2-3 hours a week in on it.

That's what you get for playing Saints Row...

What about the new Xbox 360 Elite. Any word if those get the red ring of death as well? I need to pick up an Xbox 360 soon because of the new NHL game.

I've got the Elite and so far no problems whatsoever. Looking back, when I first purchased the original Xbox 360 I was having disc read errors as early as one week into my ownership. Hopefully this Elite can last a bit longer than it's cheaper, uglier little brother.

I've had to send in 2 of them so far. Still waiting.......zzzzzzzzz.......want to play bioshock and the new tiger woods. Not to mention halo 3 is coming out!
