They pretty much fixed the RRoD years ago
No they didn't, I have had every model 360 with the supposedly RROD free chipset in them and all of them except for my slim 360 have had the RROD. The only reason why my slim model hasn't had if yet (apart from the fact that they seem to have finally fixed it with the slim) is because Microsoft hilariously took out the red lights! Technically this means the slim can't get the RROD but in reality it still can, the console just tells you the problem in a different way instead.
My advice to anyone with a 360 is to install your games. Not only will the console not sound like a jet engine but it will produce much less heat. Heat - as well as Microsoft using crappy solder and for some reason thinking putting all the hottest components on top of each other and no where near the fans was a good idea - was the reason for the RROD. The thing got so hot it warped the motherboard!
THIS, THIS is what I hate about the 360, you have to install your games or it sounds like a ****ing space shuttle. And installing your games takes up much more Hard Drive space... Which means you'll need to spend another $100 on a new hard drive... Oh god, it's been Microsoft's plan all along :O
