December of 2006 is when I got my 360. It RROD'd in August of 2007 while playing Bioshock. That is the only system I have owned that has malfunctioned. I also own a Wii (since launch) and a PS3 (since December 2009).

My brother got a 360 a few months after launch because he wanted something to hold him over until the PS3, and them it came with the RROD... in the box.

After he got his PS3, he never touched it again. Besides for ODST. He borrowed it, and couldn't play it for more than an hour. I'm pretty sure if he played it as often as his PS3, it would have broke a second time.

That's a great story and experience.

I'm just hoping that you voted correctly, awssk8er716.

According to you, You yourself never owned an XBOX 360. Vote for that one please. Thank you. :)

Had a launch 360, got RROD when the first bioshock was released. On my 2nd now but its one of the old loud models so im selling it with some games to get an elite. Plus being old it could RROD on me at anytime, must dispose of it quickly :P

My PS3 had DRE early last year but found a local console repairer to fix it for alot cheaper than Sony quoted.

Only thing that hasnt malfunctioned on me is the Wii, last gen tech is more reliable i guess :P

I was hoping I would get something like 300+ voters here.

How come more people don't "rock the vote"? :(

I bought the jasper model of the 360 so mine has never had any issues. When you buy the first batch of a new technology its going to have some issues. Hence, I waited.

i've gone through two since launch. they have improved now and i think my new one will last a while (i hope), but anyone still with a launch 360 is really, really lucky.

I got mine late 2007 and got the RROD a year later, almost to the day. Replaced for free within 2 weeks though so didn't bother me much.

Had a launch Pro never gave me troubles, traded it in for an Elite when they launched and have never had any trouble with that either. On the other hand i've had 2 BR drives die on my 60gig PS3 (but i've always been unlucky with Sony consoles).

I'm on my 3rd Xbox. First two died, traded in my old one for a newer model which has worked great since Dec 08.

Oh yes, my first two PS3s were defective with their HDMI ports. My first PS2 also died with a DRE problem. My current PS3 is facing the network failure that some how messes up your single player gaming of doom.

Xbox has the rrod. it effects 1 console. You ps3 fanboys have a problem which knocks out as many as possible in one go. LOL

The real shame is I own both so now only 1 works properly. Come on sony, stop being sh*t. You have the technology, put simply, use it

Yes, my first Xbox360 went RROD on my ass after 1.5 years of service. :( Now if my new Jasper one fails, I'm getting a PS3(I'm going to do that sometime in the future anyway). I'm actually surprise that it hasn't come to haunt the box sales-wise, you'd think people would be more concious of stuff like this.. but hey, as long as it's a good console in terms of games/online functions, it'll sell, I guess.

Bought on in 2006 and it crapped out of the box, could only read DVD disks for some reason. Took it back and the new unit was fine but I sold it to make money to move. Didn't buy another until I saw a good deal on geeks.com for an Elite. Bought that one shipped to my house plugged it in grabbed the NXE update and the screen went pink and eventually failed. Returned that one and got a newer unit which so far has been working but I'm suspecting something is up because I constantly have to load the disks a few times before the xbox finally reads them.

I have had 2 freezing issues (due to Microsoft's brilliant tech support shipping me the very same 360 back) and one DRE... RRoD has never happened though (RROD is severely overblown)

My Halo 360 from '07 has never malfunctioned, even after I knocked it over when it was vertical.

Since cows are the majority here I doubt this poll means much.

I've had a total of 3 now. The first two crapped out in just under a year, no big deal, total of 10 mins to and from gamestop. The real pain is when my HDD broke, I was able to recover my gamertag, but lost a TON of game saves, which is only slightly worse than having to pay for an extremely overpriced hard drive, even when it's off of ebay.

Mine hasn't broken, and I only know of 1 of my friend's who's system has RROD'd but he bought his machine used. I've actually had more trouble with my Wii than my 360. I also had 2 PS2's break on me last gen and multiple Dreamcasts.
