Mine was attacked by the ROD a year after I bought the set. Purchased a replacement set a month ago (Warranty over). Recently, received a call from Microsoft that they will refund the among I paid for the replacement set.
I am on my third set after two occurences of the RODs. Just keep your 360 as well ventilated as possible and you might be spared. Last time I went to return the queues were just horrible.
So far no ROD for me, but one of the exhaust fan is not working properly, causing overheating. Going to change my set tomorrow. Just keep your 360 well ventilated and you'll be fine. The games are worth it getting a xbox.
