I've seen a couple of guys on the internet that do the repairs...... did you take a guy in Brampton or a dude in East TO? Cheers, Moe Hey Matt,

Iam sorry but this really starting to p--- me off, I paid good money for the system and all i get is the run around. They sent me a free gold member ship, and then they took it back, Iam geting very tired of microsoft. I think Sony would help me more faster and better than microsoft, Iam loseing hope with microsoft.

Out here in Vancouver, there's a 15 year old that has become pretty famous through word of mouth. Very high fix rate, plus he will also put in a new drive or fan if you want it. Cost is only around $40. I wish I had never purchased that crazy warranty, said no thanks on my second one. I've had two friends lately who've had their xbox kick the dirt.

Except the fact that everyone loses. More like roulette, I suppose. It is just like a lottery though, isn't it? Except the fact that everyone loses. More like roulette, I suppose.

It's a good way to go, to ensure you don't have much down time. But you don't get much for used consoles because of the whole RRoD plague. Sucks that it happened to you just before the Gears of War 2 release. I would have been one grumpy motherfucker come November 7 if I didn't have a 360. ;) I know a lot of people that have done that – bought a new console while theirs is in the shop, then sell off the refurbished one when it returns.

I read this article last night and awoke to an RROD 0020 this morning. Couldn't you have written about winning the lottery? :P Sigh.

One morning my console looked at me with her red eyes and told me "nooooo sir". Looks like today a guy will come to pick up my console, though I've had to figure out the packaging (bullshit). At least the shipment is for free. If I ever encounter the problem again - I'm going to grab the newest (Falcon, I guess) Elite, and push this one out on ebay or sth. I admit - for a moment I thought about PS3, but the controller is sucky, and the title lineup is ass. On the other hand I'm a bit of a x360 fanboy and I do hope, that this repair is the only one I'll ever need :) I've just experienced the same shit.

I'm hoping the last fix will be for good this time. I'm surprised your 360 still RROD'd considering it was the newer Falcom model, I thought they had these issues well under control when they released that version.
