Two weeks ago, my Xbox 360 gave me my first RRoD (9 days before my 3 year warranty expired). I guess I'm lucky I've dodged that problem for so long. I went online, did some very basic troubleshooting, and then set up a repair. I never had to call Microsoft at any point. I shipped it to them myself and got a replacement console back today. Although its not a Jasper chipset, nor does it have an HDMI output (my old one didn't, but I was hoping the replacement would

), I'm amazed at how much better this one is working. I never really had any problems with my old 360, but this new one operates a lot quieter and quicker. The dashboard seems to respond quicker (the Guide is MUCH quicker), and the fans and disc drive are almost unnoticeable now.
I have to say, for as much crap as I've heard about people dealing with Microsoft for the RRoD, my experience with it wasn't that bad at all. I have a better console, never had to deal with a service representative, received a free month of Live Gold, and I even got a little extension on my warranty.
Is this the first good story you've heard about the RRoD?
