Xbox still holding up?

After the admitted downfalls of the 360, I was wondering if everyone's original Xbox is still running like the first day you bought it. My guess is that it has. For this reason I think it makes it the better fo the two Microsoft platforms quite honestly. So, is your Xbox still running perfectly?

Still works like the first day I got it. Never even had a single file corrupted or a single disc it couldn't read.

My 360, however is a different story. It's much newer, yet the disc tray has all kinds of issues. It always has to have a disc inside of it for it to open when you press open, otherwise you have to press it like 50 times before it does it. The memory card door to the first memory card slot literally just fell off one day.

And I treat my stuff well. I'm nearly 30, so I'm not some kid that gets angry at my system and kicks them or something. I don't have any kids or a dog to ruin it. I don't haul it around with me everywhere either. The 360 is simply a piece of junk. I so wish I would have spend the dough on a PS3 instead. Not just for that reason, but also because PS3 has a lot more games that are more my style. I'm so sick of FPS.

My Xbox is still running good. My 360 elite is going good so far (knock on wood) but I've only had it for a short time. I think MS really screwed up by dropping the Xbox. They should have kept on supporting it like Sony did with the PS and PS2. They would have still made some money off of it. So it makes you wonder when the time comes for the next gen will MS drop the 360 like they did with the Xbox. HUGE MISTAKE MS !!!

Mine still functions perfectly, however it gets hardly any use.

yep mine works great. i was just using it a few minutes ago (for a couple games that are not BC) Midway treasures 1 and 2. Love those compilation games. Stupid that they never added them to the BC list for the xbox360..... idiots

I heard Microsoft had a contract with some hardware maker that made some chip or drive in their systems (don't remember what exactly). The contract was running out, and Microsoft didn't want to renew since they were focusing on the new system anyways. Makes perfect business sense. It was just bad timing.

Notice something about the compliation games on the Xbox. I donot think they added those so that way you have to buy the games off XBL and not have them for free on the Compilation package.

actually, what I heard was that microsoft and Nvidia, (the compay you referring to) had some falling out over the renewal of the contract, either they wanted the graphics chips at a lower price or nvidia wanted to sell them at a higher price.

Seeing as how this deal wasn't renovated it became legally impossible to build new xbox's, and so the 360 was rushed

This is slightly OT but I'm curious who the last player online was after Xbox shut down live for it. Last time I read it waslike 17 players were still connected in Halo.

The only thing the xbox held up was the consumer!

I'm kidding, I actually love this system. It's a beast of a console, and seems to be working well.

Still works like the first day I got it. Never even had a single file corrupted or a single disc it couldn't read.

This might be my new sig.

Mine just doesn't read discs, so I can still stare at the startup menu when I feel like it.

My Xbox is still running fine, BUT I changed the original HArddrive for a bigger cheaper one. My mistake. I also used it as my ONLY Media player for a while, which meant the disctray was probably opened and closed around 20 times per day (Music CDs, Movies, Games etc) It still works well, but the sound it makes as the disctray opens make me think that it's time to start looking for a new one soon. Also I've had corrupted files (probably because of the Hard drive). I love my Xbox, but I'm afraid it doesn't have long. I don't have an Xbox360, so I can't compare.
