I was given a friend's 360 when gears of war came out that he had bought on launch day. I have since that played it for thousands of hours of gametime, left it on overnight countless times, i hardly have ever shut it off. Taken it to plenty of friend's houses and on road trips. It has never once let me down. Then my 360 elite I purchased has always worked for me as well, I haven't run into a single hardware problem, the worst problem I had was a 360 controller's left thumbstick wearing out from overuse and a broken mic headset.

Its death was slow, took it a month to finally totally die out on me for good. I tried to bring him back, with the towels. I didn't want to let go, I just couldn't bare the thought of losing him, but it didn't work out. So now I've bought a replacement, he's not as good but he gets the job done, I'll always remember my first, though.

Apart from that, zero problems.

Status: online 		Doesn't seem like a good idea to play with fire by saying. "My launch 360 is still going strong". Without the new heatsink and other minor modifications they have made it is a timebomb. The funny thing is mine RRoD when I only had played it for like 15 mins the entire week. It comes out of nowhere. The elite should be fine though I would imagine.

Do you live in a cooler climate? I need to know, I think the Sonoran Desert is killing my consoles...

Congrats though I guess. You are lucky.

As I was navigating to marketplace, I noticed the fans were getting unsually loud and then the screen went black, the fans stopped and two red lights appeared.  One less that is required for a free repair unfortunately.  It had a good restless life, at least now I get to play doctor with it!

It is to bad the platform is good it is just poor manufacturing... I hope the next xbox is better but I am going to wait a while before i buy it just incase...

Again I just restarted my console and it worked again, man I'm just lucky.

Sounds like you're on the razor's edge mate.
