    This is my fourth red ring of death. WTF. I dont fucking understand how hard is it to fix the damn problem, it shouldnt be that fucking hard.  
     This blows. Just got Red Dead and now it takes a shit. 
     
    Good thing I'm playing airsoft later so I can take out my aggression on my friends.

    Since they replace RROD XBoxes free of charge, does that mean they'll send a slim XBox to replace your busted box? Doing that would save them long-term costs for customers like you, on whom they have sunk a considerable amount of money. With the last, note that I am not saying you are costing them anything, i.e. it's not your fault. Just that they DO have to pay for each one replaced, and it seems like it would make financial sense to start swapping in slims for RROD machines.

    I'd be curious to see what I would assume to be a MASSIVE stock of refurbished original consoles that they still have to be sent out to customers with red-ring.

    That sucks. You should get one of the newer elites, they are far less likely to RROD. Of course now if you're going to get an elite you may as wel man up and get the new slim. I've had the same 360 that I bought used for about 4 years now and only ever had 1 RROD issue.
