You've forgotten about Jasper in this poll.
Oh, am I blind or Opus is better than Falcon, maybe not much people have Opus , so not many rrods for it are reported.

My Pro still works fine, it was the first one with HDMI, so I really don't know the version, but never an issue, however my Elite dated july 08, just RROD this morning!! And I really don't play all that much, the Pro model went to my son and he plays it all the time, still perfect. I'm kinda pissed about the Elite, I bought it thinking it would be better made, guess not, time to call MS for my coffin as well.

I'd say your Pro is a Zephyr, you can easily determine if it's a zephyr or a falcon by looking at the power supply 170W means falcon, 205W means Zephyr.
Do the same with your elite, it's probably the last of the Zephyr's but check the power supply.
Though both Falcon and Zephyr are pretty reliable in my experience.

Those numbers are sadly pathetic. I don't know what version mine is (only because I haven't checked), but it hasn't RRoD'd, but I do have 3 friends' who did (1 friend has had 2 boxes RRoD). Seriously? That's ridiculous. 2 out of 3 xboxes die.

Wow. This has been up for a while now, and the numbers are pretty much the same. I still think that the 1 out of 3 people whose 360s didn't break, is because they just haven't played it enough. Unless of course, they already removed their x-clamps to begin with.

My Xenon is better than ever since I fixed it's 3rrod error. It's now been played way longer after the 3rrod, than before!

Mine is a 2006 360 a Xenon fer sure and it rroded on me last month after a solid 2 good years of gr8 gaming ....now tried to do the X-clamp fix but no show...guess i will have to wait fer the Jasper's when they launch them here in Bombay

. In the meanwhile will try to get this baby fixed...hope so

I have a launch console and still no RROD.
I take it apart regularly and clean off the fans and heat sinks to prevent dust ruining the cooling ability. It's surprising how quickly they clogged up when the console's used so much.

I've learned that leaving my Falcon 360 on 24/7 in standby mode keeps the system working. Even if I only turn it off for a day or two, when I try to play it games will freeze and then I will get Red lights. Somehow leaving the system on standby 24/7 sytem works all the time.

I voted no, although I had a RQoD (Red Quarter of Death).

Have my original Xenon..... had a 3 RRoD at the beginning.... managed to fix it by pressing on the heatsink

.... it eventually gave out on me and brought it to my modder for repair(issue was RAM chip zapped). Fans are now tweaked and drive is flashed. Has been going strong for awhile now(knocks on wood).

Had it on Xenon. Now I have Falton with external fan. Hopefully it won't happened again.

First from Gears 1, just restarted and solved.

But now mine's in the shop for a RRoD, happened two weeks back.

Zephyr for me

My falcon just died today. Bought 4 months ago. Very light gaming use, about 4 times a week, never more than 2 hours each time. No freezing before, no error messages. It was working perfectly and then POW! a rrod out of nowhere.

aliman · « **Reply #133 on:** December 29, 2008, 01:45:00 PM »

Yup my Falcon 360 just failed, getting Error 74 and checkered graphics all across the screen.Was used heavely, average 6 hours a day.Always in the Horizontal position.Called M$crosoft and got my UPS shipping label its going back to meet its Maker. Hopefuly I get back a Jasper or maybe a Opus. I bought it on April/ 2008 and it was manufactured in Feb. / 2008.
I'll report back as to what I get back!

1) RROD with Xenon, xclamp it, then 74, reballed that (properly, not with a heatgun), worked for 2 weeks, e74
2) Falcon, E74 after a year, currently with UPS
aliman: you won't get opus (since your falcon has hdmi) nor jasper, since they have a load of spare falcon motheboards i think
