IIRC, the newer (post august 2008) models have a smaller failure rate because of the newer motherboards or something. Plus, I believe that Microsoft will stop sending out 360 coffins soon enough so that shipping becomes much faster.

Mine's from before august and i haven't had any RRoD. Maybe it's pure luck. Or maybe because the voltage on the US is higher than here (fyi this is a fact, we've got to use special adapters to be able to use most imported stuff, this includes the Xbox)

if it's still free, just send it back
less you have money sitting around you feel the need to spend, in that case you could just donate it to me for my rig.

I dunno if it is still under warranty, I got it pretty close to release. But I think each time you send it back it renews your warranty, so maybe I've just been chaining it along.

[/quote]it's a 3 year policy here. it also covers the E74 error which dictates the same problem that the RROD caused. just a different error because of the new hardware

Also, if you're using a transformer for your 360 to be running at 110, how does that make any difference at all?

I'd be really surprised if the power supply wasn't auto-switching 110-220 volt.
Then again, this is a Microsoft engineered product.
