For Xbox 360 users, the so-called red ring of death is a worst-case scenario that can cause nightmares about total system failure
With the new & upcoming Xbox 360 chipset's (codenamed "Jasper"), Red Ring of Death incidents could be a thing of the past. For those who have yet to pick up an Xbox 360, but are considering the purchase, waiting to buy a Jasper-infused Xbox 360 may be the best option. And with reports of these Xbox 360's being spotted in the marketplace, the wait for Jasper may soon be over. This C-Net article discusses the advantages Jasper could have on the 360, while raising questions about other possible upgrades the Xbox 360 will have.

...why even bother still trying to fix it? People still buy it and will still buy it. Also, from my understanding it's not the chips that are the problem, so what is the point to this article?
But again, Cnet, *shrug
We've got some comments - all from PS3 fans. Thank you for your opinions. I just wished PS3 fans would visit PS3-related articles more than Xbox-related articles. Contention is pointless, but fact is relevant.
The chipsets have caused overheating, and this has been proven as well. It may not be the whole problem, I won't deny that. Microsoft is fixing this problem with Jasper. The PlayStation 3 will also be getting a smaller chip, though not to fix any overheating issues.
I have respect for all gamers and your opinions. But I'm not blind when it comes to fans starting contention. Let's just keep it real fellas. Fighting words are pointless. Keep it real.
If you have a problem with people who read articles who happen to be sony users, you need to give it a rest.
Besides, IIRC many 360 owners were clambering about how RROD was a thing of the past and flat out reporting these articles as old or slander.
Thing is, it's still a real concern and a major obstacle for people who want to pick up a 360 console.
apparently noobs know nothing. overheating is what causes the RROD. i fix xbox 360s so i know. it happens when the thermal compound gets so hot it melts off the processor, which prevents the heat to be channeled away from the processor, which makes it overheat, thus bringing the system to a halt. it happens to PCs as well, when the processor gets too hot it automatically shuts off to prevent any damage which may be caused by the intense heat.
