Have any Gamespot reviewers experienced the RROD on their Game-Review 360's?

I'm trying to figure out how wide-spread this RROD thing is.Just wondering if it's just alot of hype or if it's a pretty common thing.I figure since Gamespot is reviewing and playing 360 games practically every day, they'd be a good place to start with..?I want to get a 360, but I don't know if I should wait for the new chips next year or maybe find a Falcon model or what.It's all so confusing :(Have any Gamespot reviewers experienced the RROD on their Game-Review 360's?
If there are games you want to play on a 360 (which I would think there most likely are at this point),go ahead and get one. Yes, the problems are fairly widespread (even my good for 2 years launch console died a couple weeks ago), but the problems are covered. Granted, you run the risk of being without your 360 for a couple weeks, but most likely you will have far more time with it and enjoying it than without it.To answer your question though, I vaguely remember at least one GS writer commenting on having gone through 2 at one point (I believe it was Gerstmann in some segment around E3). In addition, the IGN guys have made numerous comments about their RRODs.... including it being the name of their podcast.Have any Gamespot reviewers experienced the RROD on their Game-Review 360's?
Sheesh...You know, if the PS3 had half the games the Xbox 360 has, I'd go ahead and blow the extra money for a PS3. Have there been any RROD complaints on the newer HDMI models? Or is it too soon to tell?
The Falcon chips are already out and they've been reported to bemuchless prone to error. Just get one of those.
