Now they only have to solve the issue of not having protective pads around the HD-DVD lence (which causes DVD's to be scratched).

Anyway, here's some visual proof from VARA's Kassa:

Doubt that they will fix that because of how they deny the claims of damage... (N)

While the RROD problem itself may be fixed, what does this do for all the older consoles still susceptible to it? I guess they just plan to replace them? 4 Years to finally get a problem nixed is way to long. It is like a car company making an engine that explodes after 5000 miles, and they kept making it for four years before they finally got it figured out.

I've personally have never had any of my games scratched by my 360 however

I doubt they would go through the trouble replacing every 360. Mine hasn't RROD'd (yet, it's an elite so there might be a difference). Mine has not scratched either. That mostly happens when you move the console standing up to it's side of vice versa. Most people don't realize that and end up blaming the device itself. I think the manual says somewhere not to move it when there is a disk playing, but then again, I hardly read the damn thing...

The elites have updating cooling. My Standard "Premium" 360 thankfully also happened to be one of the later models with the updated cooling

Ah, that explains the lack of problems so far.

I bought my classic Xbox for myself.  At that time, DVD players were like $250.  For just another $50, you could get a DVD player that played video games.  Hard to justify not buying an Xbox!  The PS2 could play DVDs too, but the only way to control the DVD player was with the controller.  Xbox, on the other hand, offered a remote and a sensor that plugged into one of the controller ports.

Of course, the Thompson drives they put in those early machines were total shit.  Mine won't recognize a DVD at all anymore, and it takes a while for it to recognize Xbox games.  But since it's like 8 years old, I guess that's to be expected.
