i think this might be possible ive had no problems recently up until i downloaded the update before the stimulus package then i got the RROD my friend laughed and took the P**S then he downloaded the stimulus package and the same happened to him there seems to be alot of people having the same problem surely that many xbox cant break at the same time with out a reason!!!

So my first xbox 360 from release date lasted about a year when i got first RROD. It was replaced from microsoft, and has worked great since. I played FFXI almost DAILY for 8 hours a session. Sometimes leaving it on for 24hours selling from my bazar. Because the pro didnt have HDMI, i bought an elite from a friend who got it on release as well. I gave my dad my old 360 and used the elite for MW2. The elite only lasted a month of playing MW2 and tonight it RROD! I dont think that microsoft was trying to kill the old consoles. But im sure MW2 needed so much processing power that it kills the older consoles. i played MW2 less than FFXI and is in the same well ventelated area. Im lucky it had a few months left for warrenty of RROD.

i got the RROD (3 lights) yesterday. i dont know if COD MW2 is to blame. my xbox 360 pro is 18mths old. its kept out in the open, in a well ventilated area.
ive played MW2 about as much as ive played every other game ive owned. (which isnt that much, as i have little kids, so i only play a few times a week, if im lucky, and never for long periods)
i never had a problem. then after playing MW2, my 360 started freezing and gltching. it was turned off, unplugged, and didnt get touched for days. then when i went to turn it on, RROD.
as i said i dont know if MW2 is the reason or if its coincidence.
either way im not happy and something needs to be done about consoles getting RROD. out of every person i know who has a xbox 360, only a small handful have been lucky enough not to get RROD.

Sorry for the skeptics, but I think MW2 has something to do with my bout of RROD. I have an older system (over 3 years old) and it suddenly died got the RROD (3 lights) with MW2. It is the first time I have ever received the RROD (in over 3 years).

I was fair at first, and assumed it was just the system was old and the processor was overheating. I followed the online guides to take the system apart (since my warranty had already expired) and clean up the CPU/GPU and reapply thermal paste. The system finally ran again after my doing this.

Once the system ran and seemed stable, I then played other games for awhile with no problem, but as soon as I popped in MW2 and played it a bit, I then had freezing. Seems a bit odd to me, but I’ll continue testing.

CODMW2 was the game I was playing when my refurbished xbox 360 elite got a E74 error. I believe there might be a correlation between the two. Now Im SOL.

Managed to complete the single player and had 2 games online. Then Bam my 3 year old elite RROD’s.

Use the 360 usually for streaming video and playing Bad Company. It sits out in the open in a well ventilated area, never had an issue with it until MW2…

My xbox 360 – made 2006 RROD in 2007 was repaired by MS – new heatsinks! (one heatsink screw was missing!)
Bought COD MW2 when it came out and ‘yes’ within 2 weeks my xbox had RROD!
Out of warranty – repaired myself! All good now!
WOULD ADVISE TO INSTALL COD MW2 TO YOUR HARD DRIVES!!!
SEEMS TO SPIN THE DVD PLAYER A LOT!!!!! CAUSING OVERHEATING!!!!

Was playing MW2 then my almost 3 year old xbox died, RROD.
Had over 2 days of MW2 played and then garbled graphics.
Turned it off, waited, turned back on and then there it was the feared RROD.

Hope MS fixes it good so that it doesn’t die after it has been repaired.
