I bought my first 360 last Feb (2008), the graphics card through a wobbler over the festive season, so I bought No 2. Thinking about it just now I was wondering, has anyone out there managed to survive on one console since 2005 when they were released? If so - well done!

Anyone that still has the original is either a statistical anomalyor doesn't play it that often. :o

When your RROD was repaired did you get the same one back? Same serial number/manufacturing date. My first was sent for RROD and they gave me a newer one. Maybe, I'm confused but is the question asking whether anyone is on the same release console without sending it out for repair?

Well, I still have my Pro that I picked up on launch night, but don't use it since I bought an Elite when those came out. I'm assuming it works---just sitting around in case there would be an issue with the Elite [Knocking on wood]

I have my doubtsthat anybody still has their original Xbox who plays massive amounts of online. But I'm sure a moderate gamer who plays once or twice a week might still have it. It's possible. Right? Mine was changed when I got a Graphics Card malfunction.

I got one in early'06 used and that one to this day is still working (although I think it's beginning to give out). I play a moderate amount, I go through spurts of eitherplaying a lot of gamesor watching a lot of movies on it, to not using it much. I always thought I was lucky to get a good one :D

No, they only don't charge if it is under warranty... and launch consoles went out of warranty in November 2008...

On # 4. Got my first in 06, died a year later, got sent a new console in 07 (not refurbished). That one died a year later got sent a refurbished console in 08. Hey guess what.... that one just died, out of warrbeanty $100 to maybe get a new one, maybe get another that breaks in a year. F that. Decided to buy a jasper arcade unit and get a new 3 years, needed a new controller anyway... To be noted, HDMI looks better on my T.V. than VGA, and this console is barely audible even with disc in drive, especially compared to my others...

But still

My launch day 360 lasted a year and a half. I bought a new 360 right before my 3 years was up and I had 3 systems total. I highly doubt anybody still has their original launch system unless they NEVER played it!

Well I still have mine I bought in Apr. '06 and only one RROD. MS fixed it and I did get my same console back. Racked up this gamerscore with it so you know its been on a lot.

The first 360 i've ever came in contact with was my mothers roommates 360.(a non-gamer, one of those people who spends money on things they don't need just cause they can). 6 weeks after launch (the first time I was even allowed to touch it, broke before I even got to play) RROD with maybe with an hour or two worth of gameplay thru it. (no exaggerating) I'm on my 3rd Elite. ( I'm a game addict) Last time it ran for awhile then freeze and 2 red lights appeared (still told them it was three) They fixed it free of charge. If it happens again there picking up the dime again.
