Put it this way, I don't know anyone with a 360 that hasn't red-ringed...I'm surprised the number isn't higher.

There is the problem. A self selecting survey is as about as reliable as a chocolate fire guard or Ofcom. A quick survey of my self selecting panel of my friends with Xbox 360's shows a failure rate of 0% _________________Finally joined Flickr

You know one more  Mine haven't, and I went from a pre-HDMI pro to a Jasper (sold the pro as I got a great deal on the Arcade with HDMI) They might have red ringed, but how many have been replaced within 3 years, I imagine the only ones that havent have been ones that have been chipped/x-clamped which really isn't a fix, it's a short term solution and warranty voiding _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

I actually haven't had an xbox RROD on me yet. @Fin: I bought an RROD xbox last year and xclamp'ed/flashed that one. Still working fine, and it's one of the very first ones (2005 model) with the white DVDROM plate and button thing. Although now it's sprayed black  _________________ Kimmotalk is where all the cool people hang.

It's not a fix though, all it does is force the board back into position, it doesn't work every time, the only way to do that is to professionaly resolder the joints _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

True, although a good 5 minutes with a hot air gun makes a pretty good job tbh. _________________Kimmotalk is where all the cool people hang.
