I'm curious as to how many people aren't on their first xbox 360 or have had to send it in for repairs. I must admit, i am still on mine, but i haven't played it much at all (i play it once a month, i'm just too busy now-a-days). i got it christmas last year and the first game i stuck in it got scratched to pieces for no reason whatsoever (YES IT WAS HORIZONTAL, NO I DIDN'T MOVIE IT). I got a refund. Therefore i do honestly believe that if i played my xbox 360 more often it would need replacing eventually.

Anyway, i don't claim everyone has had a 360 break on them, nor do i claim nobody has had a 360 break on them. I just would like an idea of how many people have.

I'm on #2. I traded in my first one using my free PRP only to find out that the problems it had were standard. In fact, I think this one I got is louder, and the other problems are there, too =/

My first one got 3 red rings last month. I had to send it to MS for repair, they sent me back a replacable one because mine was too fudged.

1# 3 red lights

2# disc read error

3# 3 red lights

4# just dead no lights at all

5# this was an odd one it was missing a fan and cozed it to over heat due to not enough cooling

I'm on my fourth. 1st one scratched my disc like crazy so I send it in for repair. When I got it back, I found out it still scratched my discs. So now, with two scratched copies of Gears of War I once again called and told them they didn't repair it correctly and they really should change the drive, since that is the most obvious solution. I send it in again, only to got it back with the same drive scratching discs again. So three unplayable games later and a furious call from me, I'm now on my fourth with a different drive and everything is fine. So, basically I could have been on my second if it wasn't for lousy repairs.

I'm on my second.  The first fell to the three red lights a few months after I bought it.  The second is still going strong over a year later.

On my second.. Which has never had ONE issue since I got it back in the mail in Feb. My first one (launch 360) just kept freezing.. this one hasn't even frozen ONCE!!! My wife played Viva for 8hrs straight and not one hitch. What ever the problem was.. they fixed it. :)

In addition, while my drive seems louder, at least my 360 starts up on its first power on now :) (My old one had the red lights a few times, but unplugging/replugging cured it, this one has yet to have 'em (Had it for almost a month))

Im currently on my way to my 2nd. My launch system died a couple of days ago and I need to ring MS to get it fixed. It worked perfectly until the other day after I downloaded the new update. Now it freezes every 10 minutes during game play and I get the 3 red lights every now and then.

Mine scratched Saints Row, but that was my fault by knocking it over, and Before that I had the 3 red lights so I sent it in and they got it back to me in 8 days and it was free of charge which made me happy, so technically Im still on my first.
