I've had it for about 2 years now, and play it maybe 4,5 times a week, say about 2-3 hrs a session, do you think it will give me another few years, I've already gone through two, and I'm gettin MW2 for xmas and dont want it to breakdown before then

I think you'll be fine.You don't have to worry that much unless you play like 6-10 hours a session.Then trouble comes along lol.

You should be totally fine, dude. 2-3 hour sessions are nothing for a xbox to handle. Maybe 6-8 hour sessions, that might be a little problem, but even then, the chance is low. Do you know what kind of chipset you have? If you have 12.1, then you're sitting really good man.

If you are actually considering that idea TC, try wrapping a couple towels around it and leaving it on for awhile. There's an old towel trick that is used to reset the chips or something and give your xbox a little more life in it, but i don't see why you couldn't use that to purposely get the RRoD. Either way, i think you're fine dude. No need to go and break your system.

I reckon you'll be fine dude lol

Mind you I would never dare venture the answer "it'll last forever". If you were asking about an NES or super nintendo then yup it'll last a life time, with a modern console you are very much in the lap of the gods my friend.

Keep the 360 in a open area which has good air flow. Don't smother it or have the system on a carpet, same goes for the power bar. Turning it off for 15 minutes every couple hours helps, maybe keep a small fan on it if your really paranoid =p.

dont belive people when they say it only break if u play 6hrs...... lets be real it is random...... ask the people who xbox has broke and what they was doing to make it die. watch most of them say i turned it on and it was 3 rings. it didn't happen because you was on the seventh hour. just play don't worry about it and have fun. if you have to worry about it every time you play sell it because i can't see how worrying about it every time is fun.
