Man, kill, my heart goes out to you. Every xbox owner has that nagging doubt in his heart about the RROD.

 

You cannot quantify the ill-will Meekrosoft has earned by being so shoddy with their hardware quality control. I've heard rumours that Redington STILL have consoles from the initial screwed up batch lying unsold.

 

Which means that some poor schmuck might be buying a RROD-friendly console as we speak.

 

I hope i'm immune, since I have a recent release version of the Elite. I don't get much time to play, so no night-long marathons burning up my 360 either.

Freezing does not necessarily mean RROD. My console's been freezing on and off for the last six months on different games. There's no pattern - except online MP works fine consistently.

I have noticed Fable2 freezing issues a bit, but nothing compared to POP / AC. I read somewhere that out of region games could lead to this issue sometime - which I personally believe is absolute BS - NTSC / PAL conversion problems will lead to bad display, not freezing. If it gets too bad try to get your hands on another copy of F2, or play some other games and see how they run.

well bul...i tried 2 games offline..3 games online...with my replaced console in my first 5hrs of playing it...all disc were scratchless and in each one of them it happened...

Today the redington girl rang me and was confirming my address..in the end i just told her one thing...hope this time it last more then 5hrs...and she was giggling too...

i know many people say it so good of microsoft that it replaces rrod consoles...so why we cry about rrod...but first of all they not doing us favour by replacing them..secondly check the quality of the replacement consoles that they give...its not that they give us brand new consoles(except some blessed guys who have got new consoles according to them)

plus as a gamer or even as a consumer...the very feeling that my gadget will die on me anytime...that feeling is very bad ....atleast i dont enjoy that..anyways as i said lets hope this time my replacement console lasts more then 5hrs....

No one enjoys that. Its like sword hanging on your head, ready to fall anytime. But some blind bots wont admit to such feelings for their own fanboyism ego.

Hey my xbox is a month old. I think i read on the angry pixel's interview with Jaspreet Bindra, that the RROD warranty for India lapses this September! I was under the impression its 3 years from the date of purchase of the console. Any thoughts?
