Xbox360 Refurbished?

Mine crapped out this weekend after a little over 2 years of service. Not too bad, I suppose. What I get back better last me longer, though.

RRoD actually refers to the specific error of the motherboard melting to the point in which GPU/CPU pulls away and you get three flashing red arcs in specific quadrants. The three year warranty is for that case only. Other errors will cause red rings, such as having a loose video cable, but that does not equate red ring of death. DVD drive or hard disk drive errors are not considered RRoD. Only the original warranty applies.

Not really meltin', but warping/cracking. The only part the GPU/CPU play in the equation is heating the motherboard to its crackin' point. The RRoD doesn't occur because the GPU/CPU pulled away from the motherboard. It happens when the MoBo simply says, "There is an error" no matter the error. And like I've previously stated, if you don't get RRoD, you broke it yourself and they shouldn't have to fix it.

Yeah RRoD is "General Hardware failure". I've had one overheat (I know because I've had computer video cards overheat on me, and it was quite similar), and I don't know what the second one RRoD'd off of, but it sure wasn't overheating.
