I'm on my fourth console. First had the RROD. Second had disc read errors. Third wouldn't sync up with controllers - I think it's the same one as the fourth(same serial but different manufacture date, also got a new power brick). My fourth console is showing some...eccentricities, I hope its okay...

I'm just happy that I've never had a problem with disc scratching, that is by far the worst problem imo.

My only RRoD was about 3-4 weeks ago, I already got my replacement console yesterday. Before that, I've had several run-ins with disc errors, probably around 4-6 total. That console didn't have the new falcon cooling system, this one might but I haven't checked. Dark_Pheonix01

Wow, I could never have that kind of persistence with a console - I was really pissed when my PS2 got the dreaded disc-read error. I don't think I could handle that many console failures.

I got mine a year or two after it's release. It's actually been dropped a couple of times onto gravel etc. and hasn't broken yet. Or gotten marked for that matter.

My first one stopped reading discs, and my second one got the red ring of kaput. I have an in-store warranty, though, so in both cases I was up gaming again in less than an hour.

One Red Light of death and one disc drive problem. But i also had two ps1's mess up on me which i had to turn upside down to get working. At least microsoft sent me another 360 after my problems, as sony didnt do a damn thing with the ps1 or ps2.

I've had mine since august of '07 and I've yet to see one hiccup. Funny thing is, for the first month I had it, it would heat up perfusely and now it barely even gets warm even after 3 hour sessions. It has always been in the same place too.

I feel sorry for the "four or more" crowd. My first one broke within the first day, I traded it in for a new one, and the new one has worked flawlessly.

Are you trying to compare the failure rate of the xbox 360 to the ps3's? Am I right?

No - it's because so many people have made up imaginary values for the failure rate of the 360 and the PS3, because there have been no "official" numbers for either console, so I decided to make these threads to find out for myself.

If you want to compare them, go to System Wars.

I've had two break on me. The first one read game discs as DVD's. I got a white screen that said in a million different languages, "To play this disc, put it in an Xbox 360 console." Well, it was in an Xbox 360 console. So I sent it in and got a second one. This time, it worked, but it scratched my games. If you connected the scratches with a line, you would have a perfect circle in the exact center of the disc. I sent it back, and my third one hasn't given me any trouble (yet) in the nine months I've had it.

I've shipped back two for rings of death and two for disc scratching, this poll cant be accurate cause almost everyone I know that has had a 360 have had problems, if you are lucky enough not to have any than I hate to say it but your turn will come. I also take great care of my systems.

Only 1 RROD (Which came at the time when Halo 3 was released)
