    New powerbrick doesn't protect against power surges lol, so this will be far worse then the rrod. Also this is almost imposible to repair because it will probably fry half the board if it gets a major surge. You would need to replace all the mosfets and stuff to try and repair it which is a heck of a job and probably won't work in the end lol.

    What they need to do is proper beta testing like give away 10 consoles to hackers modders and hardcore gamers to find all the bugs exploits and stress testing that way they can make improvments before the console ***** up and end up like xenons if Microsoft only realesed jaspers they wouldn't have lost billions in running reapers in europe out of 33million jaspers sold not one rrod so they did sumthing right eventually

    It never did... MS has already said you need a protector, and only an idiot would expect the psu to be surge protected.

    No they cost $50 atleast for a good one. Also your house receives around 1600 surges per day on a normal day lol, but then it must take a bigger surge of power to kill it?
