Just had the RROD 8.5 seconds into GH3. What a piss off. Stuttering and freezing is a sure sign of impending doom.
Luckily the store took it back and I'm up an running after 3 days. My plan is to increase cooling - apparently the solder used to secure the graphics processor is brittle, and the toasty X360 + Xclamps cause this to break after a while.
I'm going to put in a Talismoon Whisper 12V fan to replace the 5V ones (supposedly not much louder) and I'm going to redo the heatsinks in Arctic Silver. Newer "falcon" X360's use a 65nm process and have better cooling - hopefully this will improve the abysmal 1 in 3 failure rate.
So it's a hardware thing, not so much a software thing. But it still sucks it's even an issue.
