xbox 360 1 red light E 74 error

Well bugger me, that's a turn up.

Good.

When they rolled out the RROD warranty, it wasn't just to cover all the consoles that had failed, but to cover all the consoles they expected would fail...

MS definitely expects this to be an ongoing problem and they have positioned themselves to combat the badpress that was already mounting around this error.

What concerns me now is that MS' 'cure' for the RROD (the new GPU heatsink with heatpipe and fins) could be directly responsible for the increased frequency of this issue. And if true, that affects every repaired or brand new 360 from Xenon through to Jasper.

My girlfriends housemate said that he also RRODed yesterday... 5 minutes after the same update that I applied just before it happened to me. Probably a coincidence but very strange!
