I don’t play a lot of X-Box, period. I have two friends that play, and I only ever play when I’m hanging out with them. They’ve never had issues with their systems. I know that the RRoD basically turns it into a brick, but I didn’t realize it’s such a common occurrence. Granted, based on MS’s performance in general, I shouldn’t be surprised.

It’s pretty common. Everyone I know who bought one early on (myself included) got it eventually. Mine happened after 3.5 years.
