Answer 1

I'm afraid all xbox360s are susceptible to the RRoD.  But, the older models had a 33% failure rate, where as the newer models with the falcon chip have a slightly smaller chance, maybe 20%, of failure.  Also, if you have a 3 year warranty, you're only covered if the malfunction is RRoD; if it's a general hardware failure, Microsoft's warranty does not cover it!!

Ya, you should have gotten a PS3... it has a failure rate of 0.02%!!  

Answer 2

Hi,

Yes unfortunately although this problem is far more uncommon it can still happen, although if you do get it Microsoft will repair it for you for free!

Hope this helps!
