Who owns a working 360 from the 2005 launch w/ no hardware/repair probs?(Poll)

I just want to take a survey if there are any lucky 360 users who purchased one from 2005 and have not run into any serious issues at all that requires replacements or repairs.

Edit: 2005 launch buyers only.. or those who bought in 2006 supplies of the SKU for 2005 launch.

Bought one at launch, went through ten of them. Bought the elite a year ago, and one has died already. Been through elevn consoles total with my current (#12) working pretty good. Its a shame the hardware is such ass, this is the first time EVER I have had a console die at all let alone 12 times, is MS ever gonna get there S*** together?

I know Ill NEVER buy a MS console at launch again. Say what you want bout taking care of it, I'm 27, and have gamed for over 20 years, its got space ventialation blah blah blah, its just a POS plain and simple. Gamestop/Ebgames have had artivles on this with the failure rate (consoles they have recieved alone not including other retailers) between 15-20% return of failed consoles. Its still an issue, an epidemic as far as I'm concerned far worse than the PS2's Disc Read Error, when it launched.

I keep my 360 for 2 reasons, The mass Effect Trilogy, and Fable. I hate Gears, and all other games I want are coming out for the PS3. MS really needs to get there act together cause the problems are still running wild. They have made a smaller cooler CPU....time to make a smaller cooler GPU, or else too much heat is still gonna be a problem and consoles wil/are still dieing.

I dont wanna doubt your 11 360s but that seems like way too many. I know the 360 hardware stinks to high heaven. I have supported MS since the Xbox. I still have my launch Xbox matter of fact. First inline for it and the 360 here in my town. BUT NO MORE....Im on my 3rd 360 and will NOT support MS anylonger after the 360.

Biggest hardware failure rate in the history of consoles..Must tell you something.

My wife uses the 360 I camped out for on launch night, which I used until I bought myself an Elite last August. Hundreds upon hundreds of hours played on both....never had one problem with either of them. Creeping_Wolf

Play Saints Row for a couple of months. I guarantee it will break. Every time mine broke it's been while playing Saints Row.

Also, for the record, my launch console was broken to begin with. I brought it home after all that waiting, set it up, turned it on, and discovered the disc tray didn't work right out of the box. Talk about a sign of things to come!

We should really correlate this poll with something like "How many hours in a row do you play your Xbox360?" If you play hours and hours everyday, is it really a surprise that it wears out?!kreider204

Or maybe you could buy a real console and not worry about all that. Thats what I did.

I didn't get mine at launch. Got it early 06 but I've never had a single problem out of it.

I also wouldn't call Xbox the biggest hardware failure in history...PS2 was just as bad, but Sony wouldn't even admit there was a problem. At least MS manned up to it, and fixes it all for free.

Hi

My 360 have crashed 4 times now, red dots and all, and i play from 1 to 4 hours aday (when the wife lets me ;)
