Yeah.. so my xbox 360 crapped out on me for the 4th time with the 3 rings of death.... Waiting on Microsoft to send me my FIFTH console.
The lifespans of these things have been less than 1 year for me... WHAT THE HECK!?!?!?

You know, I could forgive Microsoft if they learned from their mistake and built them more solidly, but it seems like they're going to make them cheaply for this entire generation, no matter that they end up spending so much money to fix them all. I would even pay more for a higher-quality version (that is also quieter), but they hate us.

The high failure rate of the Xbox makes me want to stick with a PS3 for my HD gaming console, but Halo keeps me wanting to buy one.

There are so many great games on the 360 at this point. I couldn't do without it.

I've got a 3 year old console that hasn't destroyed itself yet luckily...you might consider one of those 3rd party intercoolers to keep the heat down (cause of RROD).

We're on our 3rd console. The first 2 went at 6 months like clockwork. This one has been good for ~10 months now, knock on wood (* * * raps fist on forehead ).
We're overdue. Good thing I ponied up for the 2 year extended warranty. $59 well spent.

I've had three RROD's also... {{{WARNING: STRAIGHT LINE APPROACHING!}}} and my unit doesn't get all that much use.

The new models of the 360 fix all the previous heat sink and noise problems. IIRC they are the new Jasper xbox 360 units. My xbox 360 is also messed up badly. I am thinking of sending it in and I am sure it will not be covered under warranty. I have been getting all sorts of disk unreadable errors with games and my Halo 3:ODST will not even load a map or level anymore. Its a big problem. There is a big thread on the Bungie website discussing this issue. Bottom line the hardware is junk.
