How many times has your 360 broke?
 

Seriously, I'm getting so fucking frustrated with X Box. Second time I've gotten the red ring in 2 and a half months.

mine came back from it's first RROD today, fingers crossed that it'll be the one and only time

Once as of now.

2 times, and a few months back it RROD but has been normal since.

Never. Had it just coming up on a year.

I'll qualify that with so far though.

It's the most frustrating thing ever. Especially in the middle of a game.

I have 2 360s and... never. One has an x-clamp and they're both launch Core models.

4 times, the 5th 360 I received I didn't even open the box and I traded it for a PS3.

I've owned three 360s, two of which got the RROD. I got new 360s for both, so no matter.

on me 4th

grrrrr. consider yourself lucky.

I think I have had it for a year and I never got red ring of death

I got it once a couple months ago after about 2 years.

Is the red ring of death thing a lifetime warranty? Like if I get the red ring 4 years from now can I still send it to get fixed for free?

Nah, just a 3 year warranty for RRoD. So if you get it 4 years from now you'll have to try and fix it yourself or find someone who can or just buy a new console. You could probably send it in to Microsoft but would have to pay for it.

This is my fifth. Ironically, I have had ZERO RRoDs. They got this one right, as far as I can tell, since it's now been months since I had to return one.

Yeah, I had four problems within a matter of months.

This new console seems to be blowing cooler air than the last ones, though. Could be my imagination, but I'm playing it longer and with less apparent heat buildup. Hope it's a good sign. Especially since Microsoft's customer service is the worst I've ever deal with. I'd rather sign in at a Klan rally with the last name Goldstein than deal with them again.

i got rrod about 1 year after owning the 360 with moderate usage and never playing a dvd. i am 4 months into my second one without problem so far.

yeah they are a HUGE pain in the ass. I had to explain my problem over and over again. Like I'm the first person to ever have this problem.

Never. Of course my 360 is only 6 months old.

Never and hope I never do since I've no receipt or anything to prove when I bought it.

Bought my first April '07, crapped out on me July '08. Didn't Red Ring, but it was unplayable. Apparently I was out of warranty, so I just bought an Elite. SO glad I bought my PS3 first

The first time I called in it was because I sometimes lost the picture altogether. I explained to the woman on the phone that I had intermittent loss of the video, and she'd walk me through this process to fix the problem. Then she'd say "so your problem is fixed?" Or something to that effect. And I'd tell her no, because the problem is intermittent and will come back in a few minutes. She totally did not get this. We went through this ten times. I used every synonym in my vocabulary. Eventually, I got to the point, but....

I don't know about Europe, but over here, they tie it to your serial number.
