Oh I get how it works.
I also have seen it not make a lick of difference.

I got a refurbed unit back which pretty much immediately RROD'd on me... I wasn't impressed...
It still works but I have to cycle the power a few times... and I'm sure it's on its last legs and I'll be sending it back within a month.

How long of a warranty do you get with the replacement xbox? I think I read somewhere it's the balance of your original 3 year warranty or 90 days? Right now the xbox support site says my Warranty Expiration: 2/22/2010 7:00:00 PM.
I'm getting a little concerned because the site says the last 5 digits of the serial number on the xbox they are sending me are 54706.
According to this site:
http://xbox360glitches.com/2009/04/w...serial-number/
I'm getting a machine that was:
-made in 2005
-week 47
-in a factory in Taiwan
awesome

My xbox overheated awhile ago and for some reason, the disk drive no longer functions properly. However, I don't have the RROD, which means that its only covered under 1 year warranty instead of 3 (for RROD).
Do you think they'll check that my xbox has the RROD before sending out a new console if I send my broken console as having RROD?

You can try to RROD it by turning it on and wrapping it in a blanket. Also it'll probably help to load a game. Since your drive doesn't work try running a game demo.

It'll say that your Standard Warranty is expired, but you actually have to fill out a service request form to find out if your 360 is still covered under the extended warranty.

Just got off the phone with them. I am covered for the RROD! So Microsoft will
pay the bill! I thought I would have to get a new Xbox.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I already tried to overheat it but it seems to automatically turn off by itself before it overheats.

My xbox RROD'd around late October last year. I didn't get it back until January. It sucked because I wanted to have it for christmas holidays, which is some great down time for gaming.
This year my xbox has been freezing frequently. I wouldn't be suprised if craps out on me just in time for the holidays again.

^^I have kids, so I don't do much gaming anymore. This is why I like playing NHL, I can play a few games a week without neglecting my kids. Christmas is usually a good time for me to get some gaming done, too. Sounds like I should expect my xbox back by January. Crap.

Got my first RROD tonight. My xbox was from September 2007 and has HDMI. If I don't get one with HDMI back, I will be seriously pissed.

I feel your pain and sorry for your loss. When mine went out I had just put the kids to bed, and was ready to relax when the RROD happened.
The RROD should be added in the dictionary.

Bump. Just wondering if you got yours back yet and how long it took for everyone? My roommate sent his in and it's been 6 weeks and nothing...

I got mine back a couple weeks ago now. Altogether it took less than 3 weeks for them to send back (to Vancouver) a refurbished unit along with a 1 month live membership.
I'm happy to have it back, but I'm not very optimistic about it lasting very long. It seems quite a bit louder than my original xbox, and with only another month or so on the warranty I'm sure it will crap out soon.

My refurb which I got about a year ago now has worked tremendously. I haven't noticed if it is louder or not since it has been so long, but it does stay A LOT cooler than my old one did, and I have gone through a few 8-10 hours stretches of it being on. Although it has made some disc scratching noises in the past few months, other than that, my refurb is way better than my original.
