How many people still have their original xbox 360 that they first bought. And how many had to return their first one.

(I know that xbox xbox 360 made before December of 2006 had the most problems, so state if your original xbox 360 was made before December of 2006)

My original xbox never had a problem. Because it is old, I sometimes have the press the button twice to open the DVD disk.

I've had mine for over a year and besides a few disc read errors that rarely happen anymore, it works fine.

im already on my 3rd one. my first one keeps getting jammed and it kept scratching my disk. 2nd one when i try to put in a games within 10 seconds it makes a drilling noise and sounds like its gonna explode. and now my 3rd starting to have problems by scrathing my disk. and with all 3 360s i also took great care of them and never moved them when they were on never hit them and always never let them get to overheated. i dont know whats happening to them or maby i just have terrible luck. and the first 1 was from dec 25 2006 2nd was from march 27 2007 3rd was from april 14 2007.

What do u do to keep it well ventilated?


It's on top of a table that is looks like prison bars. The air flows through the bottom too (It's horizontal). Like a grid, ya know (#)? I also have a constantly blowing fan thats quiet.

I have my original that I bought on December 1, 2006.

Some random info...

  1. I clean it at least twice a week. I usually dust it and vacuum the vents and all around it.
  2. It's horizontal.
  3. I go back to the dashboard when i'm done playing.
  4. I take the discs out when i'm finished playing.
  5. I have enough vent space, not a lot, but enough.
