My launch 360 was dead on arrival, my 2nd lasted about 10 months, the third about a year or so, and my 4th (current) is still going strong.

At the height of the problem retailers reported as high of a 33% failure rate. A quick google will bring up multiple sources for that figure.

Yeah, but what are these guys doing to them? I get the feeling most of these people don't know how to treat a console or anything for that matter well in the first place. I've seen how some kids treat their games and it's just atrocious the way they're all scratched up. Just give it some ventilation and leave it alone.

BS.. I'm one of the biggest 360 supporters in this forum and the 360 is a POS hardware wise.. I've already been through 4 systems since 06..

I call BS out on you. 4 WTF? At some point you have to look at what the owner is actually doing to the console. The odds of getting 4 busted 360's is just too low for that to happen randomly. I don't even like the 360 very much, but I think it gets more criticism than it deserves. The same thing happened with a lot of the PS2 owners that I knew. Most of the guys who busted them weren't even treating them well in the first place.

Wow.. You're questioning me on how many 360's I've been through. I think a lot of the fanboy's in here aren't willing to admit when their company screws up (M$ included). btw, I still have an NES purchased in the 1990's that still works.. I've been gaming for a long time and the PS/XB brand are the ONLY system's that ever gave me problems..

I believe OhSnapitz. I live in a pretty dust-free environment and all my systems get proper ventilation. I've been through more systems than he has.

lol I'm no fanboy. If anything I'm primarily a PC gamer, you can take a look at my collection if you'd like. Also like you all of my old consoles still work, and that ranges from intellivision to 360. All I'm saying is that the chances of breaking a 360 so many times is just ridiculously low even if it is one out of three. I won't deny that these new consoles might be more fragile, but them breaking more than once out of sheer chance is just bull. The only explanation is that the owner is not treating it properly.

360's breaking have nothing to do with the owner.. I have several friends that purchased 360's over the last fews years and ALL of them have RR'd at some point. I would take the 360 over ANY system this gen, but it's a POS hardware.. period.

and I have friends who have 360s that haven't broken once. The only people I've ever seen complaining about breaking their consoles usually treat their stuff like ****, so it's no surprise. I already said I think the new consoles are fragile (well aside from Nintendo, they usually can take a lot of abuse), but I refuse to believe they all magically breakdown just from playing them. It's just too low of a chance for that to randomly happen.

both the ps3 and 360 can magically die from just palying them, purely because of the way they run, but the 360 is worst victim here.

Got mine on Dec/2007 and it never gave me a single problem, not a single freeze, too. I use it 5~6 hours a day.

Is this really necessary? Everyone knows the 360 has issues with the RROD hence the 3 year warranty from purchase.

Talk about beating a dead horse.

Edit: My first 360 lasted about a year and a half (was a launch console). Second one is good and still going. Took about a week and a half to get a replacement when the first one RROD.

My first one died in 3 weeks and I barely played it. My second has lasted a few months so far. I put an external fan on it to get the heat out, but it makes loud grinding noises when the DVD-ROM spins. Microsoft made a crappy product, no doubt about it. Their live feature and game libaray is the only thing that is keeping me loyal, but if this second one breaks, I give up. My Sega Genesis is still running strong 18 years later, and I take care of my electronics really well.
