    Mine has never broken and I have not had any problems. I was on my third xbox 1 after having that system for a year.

    My 360's fine, but my original XboX died yesterday. :P

    Went to play Ultra Bust-a-Move and the system was flashing green and orange and making a bad chugging noise. Kinda sucked.

    My launch system has had no major issues. The only problem happened when I used the Intercooler, which gave me the three red lights. I took it off and everything was fine once more.

    This news story scared the piss out of me...this guy has been through Eleven Xbox 360's...even an audio-log to prove it.
    These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    Got mine in July 2006, no red lights yet but some problems. Freezing, slow connecting to Xbox Live, etc.

    I need to get on the phone with MS, just been busy.

    My 360 died a week or so ago. Luckily, the process of getting it repaired was painless.

    Mine is one of the first sold on launch night and it's been nothing but faithful. Traveled countless miles, played untold hours and zero cause for alarm.

    Mine died yesterday. It was a Launch Day system, never gave any hint of any problems and never moved from its horizontal position in my entertainment system. Ever.

    I was going to turn it on to play a little Oblivion last night and boom, three red lights. Smacked it around a bit, nothing. Opened it up to peek inside, since Microsoft's extended 1-year warranty expired on Nov. 22nd. Nothing I could see.

    Given the choice of sending it in with $150 to get a refurbed system back vs. buying a new Core system and harvesting the Premium accessories from the first system, I went with the latter. All's well again but I am surprised and ticked off.

    I'm kinda suprised by the numbers up there, I thought there would be less than 10% of users with failed systems. We'll see how it pans out.

    Mine has been faithful (core) since launch day. I played the shit out of PGR3, Kameo, and PDZ at launch, then logged almost 100 hours in two weeks with Obilivion, and it sat idle until gears of war which I'm still working my way through (halfway through Act 4). No issues at all.

    I won mine through the everytenminutes.com contest through pepsi. Not a problem yet. I have had mine since November 19th, and the system is going strong. Although the best is to come, I think that owners of the system can be happy with choosing the 360 either now or the future. This next year looks like to be a very, very, good year.

    Never had any major probs yet. One DRE error, one or two glitches and freezes when playing Oblivion...nothing else.
