I just got the RROD last week, sent my 360 away for repairs and they said it will be 10 days. How long can I expect it to really take?

I live in Australia so any comments by Aussies are very welcome.

I find it strange that people send their Xbox 360's away for repair, you probably wont believe me but i have had 3 xbox 360's brake on me and i just keep taking them back to gamestation and getting a new one. Im now on my fourth 360.

10 days - possible

Dont be surpised if you find it between 2 - 3 weeks though, Aussies may be different from here in England. Service here is poor really. Hope you get it back ASAP.

Wow, 4 consoles!!! Hmmm, if mine breaks down more than twice I will seriously consider getting a PS3. The X360 is such a great machine and has so many top games on it but the reliability issue is unsatisfactory.

I cannot really imagine getting a ps3 for any other reason. I like the 360 controller better than the playstation controller and nearly any game for ps3 I can get on 360.

Sent mine away last week. Still waiting for it to come back, but I checked the repair status online constantly, and it only took 2 days for the status to go from "Received your console" to "Repair or replaced your console and are shipping it back"

I should get it back now within a couple of days.

10 days after you mail it in. When I had to email it, it took close to 4 weeks because when I first called microsofts customer service they forgot to mail me the box.

Honestly as long as its not an elite it will probibly be pretty quick. You will now be the proud owner of a refurb. I own a refurb elite 5 months after purchase. Simply retarted.

I haven't received any notification via email to say that they have got it yet and I sent it on Monday and now its Friday afternoon.

I am going to rent some PS2 games. I have started playing the old 2004 Transformers game on ps2 again, such a good game.

I know this is a totally different repair status but i bought mine off Ebay for some stupid reason.

I played for 2 days got RRoD sent it back and it took him 3 months to ship it back, after i got it back i played to for a week and it failed again.

DONT BUY ELECTRONICS ON EBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a message last Friday afternoon saying that the repair center had received my console and tha it would take 3-4 weeks to get it back. A couple of hours later I got another message saying 'good news, your console has fixed and has been shipped back to you'.
