Got the RROD back at the end of November. Had a very good experience and got the box within a few days sent it out and got a replacement about a week later.

Then I started having problems with the DVD-ROM on the one I have now about a couple months ago where it had no trouble reading DVDs but had alot of trouble reading games. Called them at the beginning of the month and after two weeks I never got a box, phoned support, they got on with Purolator and told me Purolator was having issues with my address and canceled the request and issued a new one with my work address as the address. I'm still waiting for the new box to come but just a few days ago finally got the box for the first one which had some wear and tear on it. I phoned Xbox support to see if I should wait for the new one to come or ship it out it this and just put a note with the proper request number. He told me to wait and if I hadnt recieved a box within a few days to phone them. It's a good thing I can still play games but it's annoying how it takes me turning it on and off about ten times for the DVD-ROM to finally read it.

I'm still happy that I bought the 360 though. The game selection is stronger than the PS3 right now and atleast I know if it dies I can get replaced for free. I'm hoping to get the MGS4 PS3 bundle in June just so that I can have both and have a Blu-Ray player as well.
