No. All consoles that you can buy today have a modified heatsink or chipset to minimize the chance of a RRoD.
Microsoft guarantees you for three years, that you won't experience a RRoD.
If you still happen to get one, then they will repair your console for free during these three years.
To minimize the chance of getting a RRoD, make sure your console is not on a soft wurface like a rug or thick cloth, as this will block the vents for cool air.
Also make sure you don't put it into a tight shelf with a closed back wall. This way, the Xbox will suck in its own warm air blowed out at the back and overheat.

The simple (and correct) answer is no. Not everyone gets a RRoD (hardware failure). Microsoft claims a 3%-5% hardware failure rate. The three largest retailers of the Xbox 360 (EB Games, Gamestop, and Best Buy) claim that the failure rate is actually somewhere between 30%-33%.
It's still a pretty big chance, but Microsoft is willing to repair the error through warranty. It should also be noted that if you do experience this error, Microsoft will extend your warranty to 3 years.
Whether or not it's worth the trouble, is up to you.

Xbox 360's are trash, that's why the Playstation 3 is the better console.The Red Ring of Death is not cool!
I wouldn't be suprised if the Red Ring of Death was guaranteed for every Xbox 360. I know that I have read answers from many people on Yahoo Answers that said that they had gotten the Red Ring of Death.
