I have a 5 month-old Falcon with 20gb hdd and haven't had any problems with it so far. I am using it with a laptop cooler however. Without the cooler the bottom gets very hot.

It's interesting that according to poll there are 79 people that have had a RRoD with Falcons but no-one seems to have commented into this thread about their Falcon failing?

Wow... this is a great poll. I don't know if this has been spoken about, but it gives a much more realistic picture as to the percentage of 360s that actually break. At this time it's 100-32 = 68% 360s break. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Now I'm sure it's not dead accurate, but now we can understand the lawsuits a bit better. Pride before a crash ms... you had your chance to admit the design flaw a long time ago. X-clamp FTL.

I have 2 Xbox 360 consoles, both Xenons with MFG dates around March of 2006. So far, 1 has gotten the RROD just recently and I am going to do one of the X clamp fixes. The other one is still OK, but I'm expecting it to fail at some point.

Sorry I should have read through the article before I posted. I thought of one more thing, though. The failure rate really depends too on the amount of hours used. This is basically saying that if you are a regular to hardcore 360 gamer, the odds of your 360 rrod-ing soon are much much higher. Probably in the 90-95%.

My 360 btw is a V1 launch system. It RRoD on me almost two years ago. I fixed it right after that happened (including air-flow separation), and since then it's been awesome.

I get an RROD if I look at the power cable the wrong way. Other than that no hardware failure.

My falcon is still working great after 9 months. It sees alot of game time. I have a stand with 2 fans that blow in the bottom and a built in AA batery charger. When i remember to turn it on. Fingers crossed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

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've had 2 Xenon RRoDs, 1 was shipped back under warranty, other one died when the warranty expired (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

3rd Xbox was a Xenon too.......it didn't RROD, it simply lost it's video signal permanently. So now I got a new one, with the unflashable Lite-On drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) But you should see the improvement on the heatsinks!! The CPU heatsink is twice as big as the Xenon's, the GPU heatsink has another added mini heatsink, the CPU is now smaller die, 65nm.....so it doesn't use up as much electricity, the power supply is only 175W compare to the 203W original monster. The whole system runs a LOT cooler and quieter. I just really hope the drive will get flashed or somehow modded soon.

It would have been nice if there would have been mobo based "NO" answers too. That way we could have determined how many percentages of falcon boards have failed etc. Now we only get the data of how many falcons have failed from the total ammount of every x360 sold (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

V1 Xenon console.. dated 2006-5-13 got it third hand.. or 4th.. was purchased originally from a used game place then sold to my cousin, then i did a head rebuild on his supra in exchange for the console..

but anyway, so far no problems.. fires up and boots fine every time.. samsung drive, seagate(bleh) HDD, and currently stock heatsinks.. i have talismoons, put AS5 on it, and used a combination of x-clamp replacement methods to make for what should be one ultimate replacement technique.. hoping having the heatsinks bolted down will prevent the RRoD since it hasn't happened yet.. thankfully

1 Xenon & 1 Zephyr

I have an 07 falcon "Elite" that rrod one me. It can fail just like the other ones. All they really did was update a heatsink and some general components on the board. They didn't resolve the issue with the board bending. They would honor the warranty because I couldn't provide a receipt (gift). Fixed it myself - will rebreak soon.

how do you know witch version you have?

Mine just broke 3 weeks ago

db5304 · « **Reply #87 on:** October 27, 2008, 12:21:00 PM »

Well i voted yes on the Falcon, however it was not a classic RRod. I had the e74 error caused by the ana/hana chip separating from the board, which is the same thing that causes the RRod. I had my 360 for about 7-8 months. With about 3 1/2 months of heavy gaming, and the rest very light gaming. It had ixtreme 1.4, and is on its way to the repair center w/ an intact warranty sticker. I'm waiting impatiently for most likely a lite on drive

IMHO...i think the red ring is a little overrated, ppl act like you get it all the time but me and none of my friends have ever got one, I know there are people that get it but i believe that its not as big of a deal as ppl make it out to be. (just my opinion)
