I have had 2 XB360s. My first one crapped out after a year and was not covered under warranty. Luckily, I got it working again and traded it in. When the Elite came out, I picked one up and it just died 11/28. I got it back 12/24. Out of everyone that I know that has a 360 and is on my friend's list, over 27 people have had problems/RROD with their systems. I have a NES from 1987 that still works, without the blowing trick. It's ridiculous that we are expected to purchase sub par productions for top prices. M$ is very cheap and even though they pushed the warranty on the consoles, it's still no excuse for it. As much as I hate to see companies like M$ take advantage of its loyal customers, I prefer the XB360 over the PS3. Halo 3 and other titles like Fable and Gears are too good to miss.
From my understanding, the new Elite console has it's insides rearranged for better cooling but besides that, the dvd drive is all the same. You would think Microsoft could put something out there that would last more than a year. Everyone I know has had more than one system due to it either breaking or just crapping out.
