I hope I'm not this guy
Wow, clearly microsoft didn't fix the xbox that they sent to this guy.
At least I'm not the only one out there with this problem. When I first started to read these stories abour the RRoD, I thought it was minor, vocal minority who just didn't know how to care for electronics. After it happened to me, and a guy at slashgear.com...? Just more evidence that this is a widespread problem.

More Evidence That This is A Major Problem
Ouch, it appears one of the companies that Microsoft used to fix Xboxes have now stopped doing so. They state that "This problem is endemic on the XBox 360 console and the volume has made this repair non-viable."
When will the 360 just be recalled? It seems like the entire repair/refurbish system that Microsoft has put into place is broken itself.
Anyway, I'm just waiting for my the cardboard box to arrive so that I can send my second console back to Microsoft. On a side note: I wonder where my xbox360 console is...I hope it's repaired and providing someone some joy...

Manufacture Date
Ugh...after reading around the web, I realized that each Xbox360 is stamped with a date of manufacture. I was curious, so I took a look a look at the date of manufacture for my "replacement" xbox: December 5th, 2005! Come on!
I bought (actually it was given to me as a X-mas gift) my original xbox at the end of December, 2006. Unfortunately, I no longer have my original xbox, so I don't know the exact date of manufacture. However, it's extremely unlikely that an xbox sold, in a gaming store, in December 2006 was manufactured a year prior to that sale. I wish I did know my original xbox manufacture date, but I had no idea that I would not be getting my xbox360 console back.
So this is how it works?: My Xbox is flawed, so I send it off for repairs, and I get back an Xbox that is an entire year older! WTF?
Again, imagine if any other company tried this. Imagine a recall on your vehicle, so you drop it off at the dealer and you return the next day (or a month if you're dealing with Microsoft repairs) only to find that your vehicle has be 'replaced' by a model that is year older.
