Does new 250GB Xbox 360 Slim have same RROD issues?

Does new 250GB Xbox 360 Slim have same RROD issues? I'm thinking on getting Xbox 360, but scared of RROD and disc scratching. Was it hacked? Does it have HDMI cable and rechargeable batteries? Prove your answer if possible with good links. Thanks in advance.

    Hi there,

    There is still no guarantee that the RROD will not happen but the newer models are reported to have less than a 1% chance of this happening. The new Slim design is 'un-hackable' at the moment (you won't be able to play copied games on it) but this will change soon. This is neither a good or bad thing for you as I prefer to keep my xbox 'pure' and buy the originals.

    You won't get a hdmi cable but you can buy them from ebay for $4 each (including shipping)

    Also, the best thing to do when buying such an electronic is read reviews from other customers:

    The new xbox 360 does not have the rrod issues. Actually there are no red lights in the xbox to show an error so microsoft must be pretty sure. With this xbox u can't stand it up vertically because one of the intake vents would be covered up. Your not supposed to play disks in the xbox while vertical because the disk wobbles and that's what causes it to scratch. So lay your console flat with at least 10 cm of space on each side. It is not hacked yet. Does not come with hdmi. And batteries are not rechargeble. the controllers still take 2 aa batteries.

    Cualquier tipo de cable hdmi que necesito los compro siempre de sitios web, mi último cable comprado ha sido para conectar mi PlayStation al televisor, el cable es perfecto porque es suficientemente largo, es especial para HD y el PlayStation va perfectamente, muy contenta con la compra.
