"modded" you say?
AFAIK, they'll take no notice of it anyway, RROD usually just means they put it one side and grab a refurb off the shelf to send back...

The last couple I've had "fixed" have been just that (i.e. fixed). The same unit was returned (same serial, same scratch from when they repaired it the time before etc)...

I thought i was doing quite well with my launch 360 but this time last year it died, sent it back and got it back. Died again the other week. I just threw it in the bin and bought an Elite. Its quite shocking when you think about it, i'm paying for microsoft's shoddy workmanship 
But the real nail in the coffin was that the Elite only comes with a years warranty. Microsoft want you to buy the further 2 years warranty, cheeky *******

Just got mine back, sixty quid later, MB and DVD replaced, plus the front as well as the spring on the usb cover had gone, not tired it yet as I bought an arcade in the meantime.

Yes, mine wasnt doing the RROD so it was chargeable, it was just not displaying any picture, tried everything to no avail, should have done the twoel trick apoparently to force RROD and save 60 quid.
Oh well, live and learn, now have two 360's, not really worth flogging seeing as it owes me £60 and the kids have nicked the controller from the new one, and the memory card, whats a box on its own worth £80/£100 ?

Unless you get it from Gameplay. My mums Elite dies after only 2 months. They would only take it back / exchange it if Microsoft refused to fix it 
Needless to say, I'm never getting anything from there again. Shockingly bad customer service...

That's what I thought, but they were having none of it. Got to the point where I would have to take them to court to get them to do anything, and to be honest it wasn't worth it. Considering I used to get all my stuff from them, they've lost a fairly good customer...
