Xbox and it's technical issues

I planned on getting my xbox 360 in about a week or so but after reading all these issueson the360 such as the rings of death,freezing,etc etc and Im wondering if it's really wother buying I love the games and everything on it I just dont want to experience any problems on it.

Any opinions? advice? anything?

I got an Xbox 360 in February of 2006. I'm still using the one I bought in February of 2006.

If it makes a difference, I keep mine laying flat (horizontal) as opposed to standing (vertical). Same thing with my PS2 from October of 2000.

Most of the xbox 360s will end up getting the red rings but microsoft covers all the charges. Plus, you might get lucky and have no problems at all.skatatay

and whtat exactly does the red lights do? I never really understood it I only hear ppl complaining about it.

its well worth it. most of problems are with the older xboxs. alot of new xboxs have the falcon chip which is supposed to be alot more reliable. get it. you wont regret it, and even if something does happen microsoft has pretty good support.rorywillis

Awesome thanks halo edition here i come

i thought mine was invincible, after over 2 years my launch console died today =(-PS360-

Oh wow that sucks =(

How about you take care of it, keep it well ventilated, and stop worrying.Zeldaguy16

I dont want to waste my money...but yeah =)

thats not true iv never dropped or hit my xbox never had anythin fall on it i wont even let someone leave a disc on it and the other day the RROD appeared.

my advice to avoid the RROD would to get an elite i think they function better

Mine RROD'ed on me two days ago. I got mine Nov. 2006 and have kept it well ventilated and everything else you're supposed to do. It was a flaw in the system, unfortunately, and I'm without for 3 weeks. Repairs are free and you get a month of XBL. It sucks, but life goes on.

To answer OP's question, I would definitely recommend you getting one. If you get a new one, you shouldn't have any problems with it. At least, the chances are much slimmer.
