> Given the RROD, I don't think its worth putting time into Xbox360. Unless there has been some development on the 360 hardware, I doubt people will be using theirs for too long. You're 15 years behind on this one. While the original "Xenon" Xbox 360s are probably almost all dead by now, as are the first-gen Elites with the "Zephyr" board, the late-2007 "Falcon" revision that brought HDMI to the mass market models was a significant improvement and the late-2008 "Jasper" revision basically solved the problem. RRoDs on "Phat" consoles with the Jasper boards or any of the "Slim" variants are incredibly rare and unrelated to the flaw that impacted older revisions. My own anecdotal experience matches the internet reports as well. I was deep in the OG Xbox modding world so a lot of my friends are also big Xbox fans and as a result we've owned a lot of Xbox 360s. As far as I'm aware no one I know still has a functioning Xenon or Zephyr. Falcon and Opus are roughly 50/50, and I don't know of a single Jasper or later console that has failed randomly. A few have been taken out through obvious external forces like lightning, children, and/or gravity but nothing like the earlier consoles where you could just be playing a game, it freezes, reboots, and then the lights we all feared come on. A bunch of those consoles now have succumbed to optical drive failures and most of the rest are getting pickier about what discs they'll load, but that's an entirely different thing common to all sorts of older hardware. All those machines still play any games you want to off the hard drive.
