xbox live bans up to 1 million?!?!?!?!

Yeah, I've heard that RROD is fixable in a good number of cases, but it's not like I was talking with a friend or something. This was just a customer at GameStop. Most of them don't know any better.

Even if you fix it yourself with x-clamp and baking etc. this is no guarantee that it won't RROD again....
There are far more problems than just the graphics chip stuff on the old 360s... The new Jaspers on the other hand are as stable as a PS3 maybe in my oppinion... Maybe....

I dunno - I've had a good friend have his Jasper unit go out on him twice, and another friend go out on him as well. Oddly enough, I was present at all times when their Jasper units RROD'd. Perhaps I'm a messenger of death.

Really? I thought(or better hoped ;) ) with the Jasper boards they finally got a hold of all the overheating problems(New graphics chip, new proccessor, better soldering technic used)... *sigh*

It helps, but it still happens. The risk has simply been reduced.
Now that I think about it, I also remember hearing a co-worker of mine had an elite go out on him within a week of him getting it, and this was a few months ago. Granted, I don't know if Elites use Jasper chips yet (I remember hearing when the Jaspers first released, they were limited to Arcade units), but I would think it stupid of Microsoft not to switch all of their chips to Jasper after it proved somewhat effective.
