    My launch unit is still going and going and going.

    I asked the same question to my peeps over at EB and they said they are getting very few returns on the new units coming from Microsoft.

      My launch console died. The drive scratched then stopped reading discs.

      2 months into my 2nd console, the same things are happening. Just a lot sooner...

      MS must be using some of the cheapest and dodgiest drives or lasers around because my el cheapo drives in my PC have lasted for years.

        Bought mine in June, born date May 8, no problems what-so-ever. I am ticked I bought a warranty on it.

                Horizontal with a set of Office Depot erasers on each corner stacked 2 high to create maximum airflow.

                      I actually had my launch XBox 360 die on Thursday. My born on date was 10-23-2005. I never had any problems with it, then I bought GOW and after a few 2 hour sessions I got the 3 rings of death when I attempted to turn it on. I am currently waiting on my box to send it into MS. After I get my new 360 I will be buying the warranty.

                        I'm on my second 360. My launch 360 died after 3 weeks. Zero problems so far with my replacement console, knock on wood.
                        How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year. Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

                          Anyone have a system with a May 20th date that died?

                            Bought mine in August, born on date was sometime in June or July. Mine died in less than 2 months. It would boot up and I could hear it at the dashboard but I could not get a video display. Best Buy PRP and I had a new one in no time.

                            Any $300+ console that spins disks, there is no way im taking the chance on them without a warranty or replacement plan. This is my 2nd 360, and I went thru 3 Xboxes as well.

                              Bought my 360 at the end of January. Had a born on date of jan 15th 2006. Three weeks ago while playing NCAA football, suddenly the picture went black and after about a week later, got the three red rings. Had a product replacement plan from Best Buy and got a new unit (this one born on July 26, 2006). Glad I bought the replacement plan. Costed me another $60 when I got the new 360, but it gies you peace of mind to know that I can just go and get a new unit when it breaks. Also , I found out that with these PRP's, if you do not want to exchange and get a new 360, you can get a gift card for the amount of the purchase price. I am contemplating using the store credit to get a PS3 if and when the next time my 360 breaks.
