And the RROD issue was fixed. Microsoft switched the hardware on the newer units (die shrink on the processors and larger heatsinks).
NOPE!! a buddy of mine just got the Arcade version with the Jasper chipset about 3 weeks ago, called me 2 days ago with the RROD |

Its fixed, dosen't mean it still can't happen. Also, he might of had one of the older units. |

Whats great is how on my PC, some old games still work, Vista 64 and Duke Nukem 3d? Sure 
Then you get junk from EA Games that won't work 5 months after release...
Hopefully World of Warcraft will be around 10 years from now, and we can joke on how it took 40 men to down Onyxia before the expansions. |

not sure how old it is but all the new ones are coming with the Jasper chipsets.. it cant be more then a few months old..
i guess what im saying is if they "fixed" the problem, we wouldn't be getting the RROD at all. |

They are machines, nothing is perfect. You will have stuff that fails after a while regardless of what they do. Microsofts biggest mistake was using a PowerPC processor. Everyone else including Apple stopped using them, and for good reasons. |
