| How many X-Box 360s did you go through? |

I ask because my third one just went out two weeks ago. I wanted to play through a couple of games in back log and my 360 Slim got the blinking Red Light of death. This is the third 360 I have had die on me. My original base model went out via a red ring. My second had the faulty disc drive that I repaired myself, but eventually went down to red ring as well. I feel like most consoles would have died out completely if they had this many technical problems, but I guess the fact that the PS3 was so prohibitively expensive in the beginning and the Wii just didn't have most of the AAA titles the 360 was the only option despite the hardware defaults. Fortunately this did give me an excuse to buy an X-Box One, but the two games I was really wanting to play on the 360 are not on the backwards compatibility list (Brutal Legend and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3). It's doubly irritating because I have literally never had any other console die on me. |

I've had my xbox 360 since 2007-8 and it's still working. Definitely getting to it's end tho because it often doesn't want to read the discs so i have to punch (im not kidding it's the only way it will work lol) the system a few times to make it work. |

Three Xbox 360 for me and three more for my 2 boys 5 to red ring 1 for disc drive but all were covered under extended warranty have to say Microsoft made it a pleasurable experience dealing with them. 2 ps3 shit the bed not under warranty of course,at least microsoft realized that thay screwed up and stood behind their product. |

Two I bought an Elite when they first came out in 2007 or so and it worked fine for about a year, and then the disc drive stopped reading games and I ended up replacing it. Then 6-months later it went RRoD on me and I was so pissed I ended up selling it for parts and wouldn't own another 360 until 2015 when I bought a used Slim off Craigslist. That Slim is still kicking, but to be fair I barely play my 360. The console I've actually gone through the most has been the PS2. As much as I adore the PS2 and its amazing library of games, the console is super unreliable. I've geen through 2 fat models and 3 slims since it came out, all of them gradually be unable to read discs until they just couldn't do it at all anymore. My current slim is currently in the midst of this as it struggles to read PS1 games and purple bottom PS2 games. It'll probably have to be replaced within the next year or so. I've also been through two Dreamcasts as one of them stopped reading discs. |

I'm on my 2nd. Technically the first one still worked okay, it's just that you HAD to have a disc in the drive or the tray wouldn't want to come out. I was afraid I might lose a game for good one day if it decided to never open again, so I replaced it on the cheap. |
