I got my 360 last christmas with halo 3 and some other games, I play loads of games with my bro for quite a few hours when we're bored like rock band or halo 3 etc. Error messages, 3 red lights, never had any of that! The 360 was manufactured in 2006 so its one of the lucky ones.

Any one else have this?

Sorry for those who have suffered with the red lights!

Subscribed as it'll be nice to read about consoles not affected by RROD for a change (and the reason i won't by a 360 is because the RROD problems seem far, far too widespread).

And these fit in a "never broken down" thread how?

My daughter has a summer '06 console (ms25) that's still playing fine. I did have to clean the tray drive belt; the tray wasn't ejecting.

I had a spring '06 console (ms25) which I've sold to a friend and it too is still going strong.

I now have an Elite, early '07 model (Benq) and it's running fine. I have added a Whisper Max to it.

My nephew has a launch console which is also still playing fine. And that one boggles me because that kid treats that thing like crap.

I bought my 360 the week Halo 3 came out, it's one of the newer pro 360's with HDMI. I haven't had any RROD at all. Works fine.
