Got my new 360 yesterday. MFG is 8/27/07! Has HDMI, got 2 year product replacement plan from Best buy, plus 3 YR RROD Warranty from M$, and 1 year regular Warranty from M$. It locked up once after being on for like 7 hours.
Do you mean lock-up as in freeze? Or lock-up as in RROD?
Specifically the upper left, lower left, and lower right quadrants lighting up while the power brick light is green is the 3 RROD error that has all the buzz. There are many other less common errors.
Some of you guys are just glutton for punishment!! I'd ditch the POS on the second time, but what suprises me most are those that keep buying console after console, even after seeing the hilariously ironic demise of the demo booth machines!!
This thread is reason why I'd go nowhere near one. I was starting to get tempted with an Elite but fuck that, no chance now......
Well when 360 is where the games are, what can you do? A lot of people were in the same situation with the PS2.

The RROD is one reason I'm not a 360 owner yet. It's so tempting right now, but I don't want to deal with having to send a console in because of faulty hardware (especially because it doesnt seem to matter how long you own it, it may RROD at anytime). My ps2 is junk, but it's still running after like 6 years somehow. I know a 360 won't be doing the same.
I think we are riding in the same boat. Untill M$ can fix their shit, I'm not getting one. MY DC get used as much as any of my current consoles, as well as tons of usage since it came out... and its still chuggen along. It also has moving parts...
I was at futureshop today (equivalent to bestbuy) and noticed the RROD on their live xbox360 sample.It was funny and shitty because there were kids who wanted to test the xbox360.
I bought my 360 the first week of July 06 to celebrate landing a new job. In November, half way through gears of war the game locks up. I reboot the console - RRoD. Send it in, get a replacement about 4 weeks later. The replacement runs fine until May when it locks up while playing a movie (don't remember which movie). I replace this one, and it runs fine until the final flood level in Halo 3 (which would be around Sept 28th). Game locks up, I reboot RRoD. The console is now sitting on my coffee table. It's spot at the top of my entertainment center has been taken by a shiny new(to me) PS3.
I have no intention of ever owning an xbox360 again.
Having a working console is the most important. I can find good games on any platform anyway. Most all good 360 games are on PS2/PS3 IMO, and the difference is too minor to make a fuss over. One reason I didn't support my original Xbox much was because it gave me lots of problems. My PS2 was flawless and never had an issue (have an early PS2 too). My 360 gave me a RRoD after it froze on DoA4 and RR6. It started working again, but eventually gave me a RRoD that wouldn't stop, so I had to get another one. My newer 360 hasn't given me a RRoD, but it has occasional issues. I rarely play my 360 anyway, so that may help (I mostly just play my PS3). One reason I bought my PS3 sooner than expected was because of the 360 dying on me, and I learned once again I cannot trust a MS product. If my 360 dies two more times, it's out of my possession asap.Why the rolleyes? I totally agree with the guy. Same situation with the PS2. The PS2 had all the good games, so gamers had no choice but to deal with malfunctioning consoles if they wanted to buy good games.
Same shit, different toilet...

I still have my launch PS2 and it is still fully functional although it hasn't been used since the PS3 came out but is still hooked up to my old T.V. I picked up a 360 this morning but have yet to open it because it was more of an impulse buy and after reading this thread I am thinking I should have bought it with an extended warranty plan.
It's funny, I've never really worried about a machine failing on me as long as it's covered by the manufacturer / retailer. Enough things to be concerned about in life without letting that bother me.
Just woke up one morning and wanted to start off my day playing CoD4.
Booted up my 360, bam RROD.. it was working absolutely fine the previous night. My 360 lasted just over a year, not bad. Oh well, still, my RROD was pretty unexplainable. No freeze or anything, just turned it on one morning and it was broke.
