My first character has a lot of time under her belt as well. But the question is how long did you play each time you played, couple hours or a long stint? Playing for long periods at a time, something easily done with a FF or other RPG, is what can speed your 360 towards a RROD.

Of course, playing any game at all for repeated long sessions isn't good either, but RPGs are the most common games that'll do that. Friend of mine bought a 360 at launch and it never gave him any trouble for years. But then he started buying and playing RPGs on it. Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey, maybe some others I can't think of. His 360 red ringed on him late last year. It was probably bound to happen anyway, but the heavy RPG playing probably helped it along.

My elite RRoD playing Oblivion. I don't think it was prolonged playing but all the stuff it has to load for that game.

I played Oblivion for seven hours straight on a day off, when I first got it.

I can't really sit through JRPGs that long anymore though. I try, but... meh.

Gonna get FF13 for the PS3, as I should have one by the time the game is released.

I want a VII port for the DS.

Oblivion's one of the games I have that I chose to install after they added that feature, Mass Effect being the other. Usually swap the two out, but one or the other is always installed. I could tell from the get go that Oblivion's loading from disc was possibly pretty hard on the system.

The amusing thing about it is that Oblivion caused my second RROD, which is what made me paranoid of playing RPGs on my 360 in the first place.

Kando, your sig is still the most amazing Sig on the planet. Soldiers running within a bridge from an on-screen image of Riker looking like he just woke up from a massive hangover. LOL.

That was from the final episode of TNG, where they had like 100s of alternate universe Enterprise D's. That one being from a parallel universe where Starfleet was at war or something and that Enterprise and her crew were in really bad shape.

All Good Things, yup. Great Finale, IMO. Poor Picard always appears to have something wrong with his head.

I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced but I just wish it would get here sooner! Seems like we have been waiting for this forever now, and there's still a good 8-10 months at least.

There is a distinct lack of quality JRPG's on current gen consoles which I think is a shame. Maybe the JRPG category has decreased in importance somewhat but I hope the genre doesn't die out in the west.

Sorry, that was actually from an episode where Worf was being sent through different dimensions thanks to Geordi's (might have spelled his name wrong) visor, not the final episode. That Riker was from a dimension where the Borg wasn't stopped.
