I feel your pain… I am about to be on my 3rd one. I bought #1 when the product first launched, got red rings of death in 2006, replaced with #2, and just 2 days ago, November 18, 2008, #2 came down with the red rings. Depending on the response from Xbox support, I may just buy a new Arcade for $199 (and get HDMI!)… thinking about Xbox, though, what a terrible product design - to be on #3 since launch is awful. In fact, my ORIGINAL Xbox is still working quite nicely and it is the only original I’ve had. I sure am glad I bought a PS3 the other day (just for Blu-Ray) - my confidence in Microsoft is completely shaken (and not stirred).

I just experienced the RROD, and I am awaiting my box to turn in. I wanted to know, if anyone has experienced a run around from MS and not want to fix the system ie…. saying that yes, your system is fried, but it looks like your tray is going to fail, so we’re not going to fix it unless you pay 140.

I just got off the phone with an English speaking rep (surprise) and after hearing that my unit was going in for a third time I was told typically it’s an exchange and not a refurbed, but that remains to be seen. I wait until I receive a new on to check that out. In regards to some of the previous posts on here that say it’s not bad, it’s OK, man you people must either work for MS or be card holding lemmings since this type of issue is completely unacceptable in the market place. I don’t give a s— if it’s a video game console and I have disposable income.

If I want to throw my money away I’ll give to a homeless person. I at least was fairly smart and did not buy too many games as I use Game Fly. I am currently considering dumping this p.o.s. and going with a PS3.

Wow… I would be really pissed if that happened to me so many times! And to what curt said: He keeps buying them because it is what he enjoys doing…
