No, I'm on my second 360. However, reliability doesn't really matter as much as other things. I'm on my 3rd ps2, and that thing was basically the greatest console I've owned.

Mine works perfectly, got it since launch. My profile is set to private, so you won't check my GT there.

Nope and im really pissed off about it to. I had a launch one and I thought I was one of the lucky ones seeing as I had it for over a year. Well that was until last thursday when out of nowhere after not ever glitching even once before, the screen freezes up with weird lines going down the screen and now, 3 red lights. Well I phone MS and since it broke after EB's and their year warranty I am forced to pay $168... THATS RIGHT $168 TO FIX SOMETHING THATS THEIR FAULT!!!!  I find it absolutely ridiculous that I am being forced to spend this money when I bought their product and it should have worked! Right now I am waiting for them to send the delivery box so I can pack my 360 up and ship it off to them. All I can say is, nobody is safe, at least not with a launch consol.

I have had my Xbox 360 since December 22nd, 2005 (a month after launch). It still works perfectly fine, other then the odd freeze here, and there. The freezings are typically do to the games crashing, and not the console itself.

I know, but what if it breaks after 1 year like it did this time? Am I going to be forced to pay nearly 200$ for repairs again?!?

I count the days until it breaks. Constant DREs, freezing.. I'm scared to play Crackdown since the DVD-drive goes into limit breaker or something like that.

I've had mine since Dec. 2005 18th i think, i'm on my 2nd one. First one didn't seem to be good in the first place and it was loud and overheated a lot. The one i have now is perfect though.

It is for that game. There are no load screens, so it's constantly back-loading.

    Honestly, my launch box never turned on, and the replacement lasted a year, so I am technically on my third box, but its only the second that worked at all.

    But, it cost me nothing to fix, so I am not too upset.

I've even droped it a couple of times bringing it over to friends house.
