so much for the 360

[Paulie92]

I've had two, one of the launch 360's that red ringed once and was fixed withing warranty which lasted until a really hot and humid week last year and then died for good. I then had all the excuse I needed to get one of the 250GB slim 360's. If only I was a fatcat again with a well paying job and nothing to spend it on, stupid learning.

I've had 2 360's and I never had a problem with either. I think everyone is making it all up!

Or just not taking care of them I always keep my 360 in a well vented area and rarely have a problem.

Lost 1 to red ring, on the second now. If this one dies, I won't be getting another either. Not too eager to go after Microsoft's next system either because of the "made to fail" design.

I am seriously wondering if I am the only 360 owner whose console has NEVER red Rigned, and it is a 1st Generation

I bricked one xbox and had another basically brick on me (wouldn't read disks, had to keep ejecting/injecting the disk up to 20 times to get it to play once.) I picked up the new xbox the black one and it's been working for quite a while so far.

but my biggest gripe with xbox's design isn't the failure rate. It's the fact that if you move the console while a disk is spinning your disk is ruined.

Next generation I probably won't buy an xbox unless I'm positive they fixed their issues with their consoles (anyone else remember the original xbox starting fires?)
