Yes, you will eventually get the red rings of death. My advice to you is to just call MS now and get the process started. By the time you get the box you should have a dead Xbox (unfortunately).

I sent it away on Aug. 23rd and I'm hoping my new one gets here before 08 comes out *crosses fingers*.

I sent mine to them on the 28th of August. No chance I'm getting it back before hockey comes out but I would love it back before Halo 3 comes out.

Seeing as how there is actually a video out there on how to fix them, it doesn't look very good.

With the Xbox 360 it's not a matter of IF it will break it's just a matter of WHEN. The 360 is far better than the PS3 in terms of games (I have both). However it's not the most stable console out there. My advice to you is to purchase the XBox 360 from Costco if you can because they have a very good return policy if it should happen to break in the near future.

The online play of games and just the whole online experience (chat, downloads, etc.) is far superior on the Xbox 360 than on the PS3. All in all the main deciding factor from the Xbox 360 and the PS3 is games. For some reason multi-platform games are better on the 360 than on the PS3. For example, when Madden 08 was released it was 30 FPS on the PS3 but 60 FPS on the 360. Not only that, but games based on the Unreal 3 engine are constantly being delayed for the PS3 (i.e. Stranglehold coming out on the PS3 two weeks AFTER the PC and 360 version). Like I suggested to Crispy's Critter, buy a 360 but buy it from a place like Costco because of their return/satisfaction guaranteed policy.
