I have horrible luck. My 360 has broken down...6?...7? times. I lost count. One of the times was 6 days before Christmas. When I got Rock Band, my guitar had a faulty strum bar (luckily I had a Les Paul) my mic is touchy and sometimes won't register that it's plugged in. And just yesterday (on my Birthday) I broke the bass pedal for my RB drum set. I have it rigged hillbilly-style right now, with a replacement on the way. And my phone screwed up horribly, then as soon as I order a new, better, (more expensive) one, it works again.

Does anyone else have bad luck, or is it just me?

My 360 has broken down once, but that's just par for the course I assume. Right now though I'm having terrible luck with anything computer related:

- My mouse's left-click button is completely broken. Right now I'm using my right click button as my left click (really ****s with people when they try to use my PC lol) and a side button for my right click

- My monitor's power button is broken. Pressing it does nothing, except on very rare occassions. So in other words I can't turn it off and if it ever loses power I may not be able to turn it back on.

- My PC case's power button is also a bit broken. I can still use it but it gives a good bit. I could probably fix it with a little glue since I know what the problem is.

- The PC case's side fan is also broken and need to be replaced

- My OS has at least one corrupted .DLL file. Nothing BSOD inducing thank god, but it does cause me to take about a minute to launch something from the quick start menu (and the computer quasi-freezes in the meantime). The same thing happens if I try to mess with my display settings and closing the display settings box by clicking "OK" results in some DLL file crashing (which is how I know its a DLL problem)

- My HDD is also long overdue for a reformat. Problem is that I can't find my security software discs so I can't do anything about it at the present.

- My internet connection also likes to crap out. I had my ISP come out and take a look and they thought they found the problem but since its still crapping out I think I'm going to have to call them again.

RROD is Manufacturer's fault, not consumer.

And I like to think I treat my stuff pretty good.
