The XBOX 360 lifespan

I know someone who claims his launch 360 stil works. It's probably true that some work or there would be a 100% failure rate already. Mine is lasting 1.5 years now, it's my second 360. As for the 360's lifespan as a supported product by Microsoft, I think it will last till 2009 or 2010.ronnet

My best bud still has his launch 360, it happens.

I have mine since 1 year after launch and it's still working, but lately when i play a hole day straigth it says the disc is unreadable and to clean it up, i assume the system is hot after 6 or 7 hours of use. But if it dies on me i might be considering getting a PS3 instead of the 360 just because of hardware reliability. The numbers of bad PS3's since launch is far less then broken 360's.

Sony is not that reliable either because i remember going though2 PS2 systems and 2 PS1 because they broke on me after a while, so all i ask for is if i'm gonna shell out $300.00 or $500.00 for a new system, it must last long, i can't afford to buy a system twice a year, so whoever the company can give me a system for a decent price and long lifespan got my greenbacks there ;)
