We got the RROD getting prepped for a night of RockBand. Also was pretty excited about Pearl Jam getting released. Joani has has been jonesing for the thing as much as me, she loves that Netflix Watch Now. Yeah I sorta figured it would be a replacement. We got the RROD getting prepped for a night of RockBand.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. My experience went really well. (Mine wasn't the RRoD; mine lost video.) Incidentally, they replaced, rather than repaired, my unit, and I'm pretty sure the replacement unit has a MUCH lower threshold for its overheat mode than did my original. (When it gets too hot, it abruptly powers off and the left two quadrants flash red.) I've improved ventilation around it, including a dedicated fan, and it only happens once in a great while now. It never happened at all with my original unit. Freaked me right the hell out the first time I saw it. I said that to say that when you do get either a replacement unit or your unit repaired, I'll be curious to see if you have a similar experience. I hope Microsoft finishes its next console before it releases it. The Xbox 360 came out at least six months too early. This sucks. Sorry to hear of your troubles. My experience went really well.
