I've had the same Xbox 360 since 2007ish, an original white one. Never had a problem with it and I used to live on the thing. The only time it's ever red ringed was when I had a dodgy USB plugged in and it worked fine after I took it out.

I don't know if I'm extremely lucky or a vocal minority are extremely unlucky.

Three, One ring of death, one instant over heat, and one failed disc drive.

My first got the red ring of death like 1 month after launch, waiting at game crazy with my older brother who was infuriated because we had been dooped on a protection plan because they couldn't replace a console that they didn't have in stock in the first place. So we had to wait for microsoft to ship one from california and repair the one I sent and it was truly a circus.

Fast forward a year later, the repaired one breaks yet again. This time out of the game crazy warranty, yet another 3-4 week wait as it's sent to california for xbox to deal with.

Get it back, have it modded with a nice blue see through case that completely destorys it's warranty but I think the warranty expired by than anyway.

1 year later, open tray error. Wouldn't read games. Bring it to a game repair shop in my local area. 20 bucks and they fix the error. back on my way.

Just 4 years ago. Red ring of death. I managed to fix it myself by cleaning this little rod that moves the eye under the metal sheild of the disc tray. I put a tiny bit of WD-40 and wiped down the rod to make sure it moves fluently.

And finally last month, it will no longer read games with any repair and I no longer want to bring it to the repair shop due to the cheapness of the upgraded slim versions of the console and next gen dominating my play time anyway.

So with all those said, like 6-7 lol. :). It was quite simply the most laughable poorly made console of all time. I hate to say it. I do love the console and it's library of games but man was it independant in my experiences. :D.

Yeah, its really a shame the production quality was so hit and miss, because the library is truly phenomenal - and that is also why I am so annoyed that I had yet another one die one me. I was using it as my 360 AND my X-Box, so I had two consoles die for the price of one.

The first lasted a little while, but got the RROD while I was playing Half-Life 2. Sent it to Microsoft and they replaced it for free.

What’s so funny to me is in the meantime, I received Batman Arkham Asylum for Christmas and started playing it immediately after I got the new 360. I got to the point where Scarecrow starts screwing with your head by making the game mess up, and it was so soon after my last 360 crapped out I thought it was doing it again. Then the game restarted with Joker driving Batman to the Asylum...
I’ll never forget that moment. Holy crap, I’ve never had a game mess with me like that, it was great :D
One of the reasons B:AA is one of my favorite games ever.

I thought my Xbox was crapping out during that scene as well. I think I restarted the system before realizing what was happening :D
