I swear it worked for good formy friend... he called Xbox and they said it would be something that would be a 4-6 week turnaround to mail it in... so we looked online and found the towel trick. Did it that night, and it has never stopped since.

The really long paragraph sounds correct.
Microwave sounds better than the towels.
I've also noticed a bunch of people's 360's failing after playing Madden '08. I believe there's a download for it, maybe its fudging something up.

People just dont realize how powerful the 360 is. You got all that goodyness crammed in a tiny box. Of course its gonna get hot. My pc gets hot and its in a nice open case.
Once I get one, I'm gonna water cool it.

RE: red rings of death
if anyone is looing to buy a 360, wait for a bit. Microsoft is ditching the current motherboard design (v1.1 Codename Zephyr) and should have the next generation motherboard availble by the end of the year. The current mobo used 90nm technology and the HDMI mobo (1.0 had no HDMI). The next gen mobo, Codename Falcon, uses 65nm technology. That basically means it uses smaller components that generate less heat. Falcon was supposed to be out by now, but as usual, there have been delays. It has been confirmed though that it should arrive by the end of the year. Kinda pisses me off because I wanted to get Halo 3 and the Falcon mobo 360 at the same time. Now I gotta wait.
Also, the Falcon mobo supposed has the fixes needed to get rid of the RRoD. I can only assume they did better solder jobs, or replaced the solder pins with standard pins on the GPU.
