I had 3 die on me. It was of course, the earlier verison and this was about 2 years ago. Since, MS sent me a new system and nothing has gone wrong. They covered the cost and then some.

Haven't had one 360 die on me. Hoping it stays that way. Now that I've said that, I bet my 360's going to die soon.

I have gone through 4 RRoD and 1 Disk Drive malfunction. So 5. I just bought an Elite back in May/June, and as of sept 12 RRoD. It was a new model to, new chip and all( ieven checked the manufactured date). I still Love Xbox games, but the hardware SUCKS. I have 8 friends with xbox360s in the town i live in, ALL of them have had to replace them AT LEAST once. My friend up the street bought and elite(hey that rhymes) and it didnt work out of the box, took it back and got a new one, and 1 week later it RRoD'd.

YEAH XBOX360 GAMES,

BOO XBOX360 HARDWARE

I just received my 4th xbox. Lost first one within 9 months to RROD. The Second I lost 8 1/2 months later to a failed disk drive. The third I lost after almost 2 years to RROD. They are awesome machines but pieces of 's' for sure. Can't own a 360 without the extended warrenty.

I've had 8 360's rrod on me. 5 pro's and 3 elites. I will also say I have had a 360 from launch so thats almost 3 years worth of 360's with the first bach having a 6 month life cycle. I also feel I have the rrod record with my elite rrod within 3 hours of playing it brand new.

I have 2 consoles. One I bought mid last year & I've yet to have any problems with it. Now the other one I got Mid 2006 & I've had 4 Hardware Failures & just here recently the disc drive went out in it. So 5 times with 1 console, which to be honest is absolutely pathetic. The only reason I have the other console is because when the older one died the 3rd time they told me it would be 1.5 up to 2 months before I would get it back, so I went out and got an Arcade version I popped my hard drive in.

Something stupid & you gotta watch for, when you send your console in for repairs & they send you a different console back you gotta check your warrany status on xbox.com. They will not automatically transfer your Extended Warranty over to the replacement console. You got to send a letter requesting that it be changed everytime you get a different console back from the repair center.

Zero. If you know how to open an XBOX 360 up yourself and do some things to it, the chances of you getting the RROD or anything like that is very slim.

I opened my XBOX 360 up, replaced the X-Clamps, which is what makes the XBOX 360 overheat and give you the RROD, with bolts, washers, and thermal paste, which prevents the RROD.

Don't know what Microsoft were thinking when they put the X-Clamps in the 360...

I also replaced the actual outer casing with a "Dark Knight" case mod, and it looks brilliant.

Another thing that I did to prevent any problems is that I replaced the original fan with a Talismoon Whisper Fan. This fan provides something like 40% more air flow but is 7% quieter. It also has blue LED's on the fans, which look so awesome.

So yeh, I may not have a warranty, but I have had no problems at all with my XBOX 360 so far and even if I do, I know how to open it up and fix it myself.

Also, if anyone wants to see pictures, just check out my profile on here. I have some in one of my recent blog posts.

I have had 4 die on me including an Elite and a falcon system....the funny thing is though that I never really cared. They fixed it for free and Xbox is the best gaming system for ("True Gamers") as far as consoles go. I have a PS3 too...it makes a great DVD player and maybe in the future they will get some good games the 360 doesn't have way ahead of time.

I've had one die on me with RROD. MS Customer Service was a breeze and realatively prompt. My replacement works OK but still has some quirky stuff happen now and again. The USB port on the back doesn't work, so I have to hook up the wireless adapter on the front. So yeah ... really? Who knows. I anticipate having to send it back to MS at some point. It's pretty ridiculous the amount of people that have had multiple 360's die on them. I guess they traded manufacturing speed for manufacturing quality. I mean, there was maybe only a month or less when they first came out when it was difficult to find a 360. Since then they've been everywhere all the time. It's a stark contrast to Nintendo with the Wii. Clearly they have prioritized quality over speed, in the Japanese maufacturing tradition. But it's still quite difficult to find and Wii, even the Wii Fit (for my gf, so stfu). I'm a fan of quality manufacturing but I have to think that replacement 360's notwithstanding, Xbox's strategy has been the better one, in a business sense. They 360 console has proliferated far better than the Wii here in the USA. Even with the HUGE HUGE HUGE (did I say huge?) cost of replacing all these systems, they are still probably well ahead.

My launch day unit hasn't skipped a beat. My Wii actually had to get sent in though. The graphics card was producing artifacts. My PS2 had disc read errors too. But my 360 never had one problem. Neither did my Xbox, which was also a launch unit. Just lucky, I guess.
