So about a year ago I bought an Xbox 360 and no I didn't get the red ring of death but I did take it back to the store within 3 days because I just didn't want it at that time for my own personal reasons.

Anyways I've been considering getting another since I now have a 57" HDTV 1080P.

The purpose of this poll was to get a general idea of the percentage rate on buying an Xbox 360 that will end up with the Red Ring of Death. I certainly don't want that to happen to me. Otherwise I'll end up getting a PS3 or a Wii if I can find one.


*If you did get the Red Ring of Death could you please specify how long you owned your Xbox 360 before it happened and if you bought another one and did not have the problem.

These results will be quite skewed towards people who have experience RROD.  Many people will vote in this poll who got an Xbox 360 years ago when the hardware was quite crappy.  Now, it's much better.  As with the person above, I don't know a single person who has got the RROD from an Elite console.

I owned one for about 6 months before I got the ring.

I went the next day and bought a new one, and I need to send my old one in at some point

I had mine for 2 years and it got it, but EVERY xbox sold has a warranty 3 years from the purchase date. Also, the ring of death is almost non-existent in new models if you keep it well ventilated.

Now I have 2 xboxes that work great. (I bought another cause I have 2 houses)

I thought mine had the red ring of death, but my older cousin fixed it.
