I'm just wondering if the falcon edition really has solved the RING OF DEATH problem.

So let's here it folks! Let's have a concensus on the status of your falcons.

Please state your replies in this format:

1.How old is your falcon

2.Average Hours of play per day

3.Number of incidence of RING OF DEATH

1.I got my Elite with my falcon chip at Xmas 2007.

2.Anywhere between 3 and 8 hours a day, depending if I go to school/work.

3.This is my first X360 and I have seen the RROD on it once, I didn't send it away and its still going strong. That was about 3 months ago.

Thanks for the reply guys :-)

For those who don't know how to spot a falcon chip here's a good link:

http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/02/05/how-to-spot-a-falcon-65nm-360-in-the-wild/

We still need more posts regarding the FALCON's performance to fully come up with a conclusion that the new chip really has solved the RING OF DEATH problem.

It doesn't matter what chip your 360 uses. It matters that it was properaly assembled. If the heatsink is not correctly welded to the hardware, things will go wrong.

1) Mine is just 4 months old, MFR date is jan 22 08, the power supply says it is 175w, but on the box it says 203w and the team is CSON so i don't know if it's a falcon

2) about 4-8 hrs depending on my mood

3) haven't experience the RROD yet

I had my Elite since xmas 07 and no RROD but that could be because I barely play it unless I get a new game then I play about 4-8 hours a day.
