Since Hawkeye suggested it in the other thread....

Simple question. Has your 360 been repaired or replaced yet? If so, please tell us how many times.

I'm still on my original 360 that I bought on Halo 3's launch day. 1.5 years later and it still runs fine. (knocks on wood)

Slick shoes?! Are you crazy?!

I bought the Best Buy replacement plan, and boy was it worth it.

Xbox #1 - Flaky since the day I bought it, never actually broke but I still got it replaced.
Xbox #2 - RRoD
Xbox #3 - Going strong, covered for another two years for 7 dollars courtesy of Best Buy.

Edit: All three machines have suffered through very heavy usage for most of their lives. Notably epic gaming session with GTA IV and recently Fallout 3 have kept my machines being used all the time. Of course nothing compared to the brutality my original xbox faced, but it still works.

xbox 360 (10GB?) purchased Christmas 2007. Still works fine but gets played probably just 3 hours a week.

I have an Elite since October '07. I've put it through the gauntlet. It seems to be holding up fine.

Nope. Haven't been repair or replaced. Then again, I bought it about 5 months ago. Haven't touched my xbox 360 for about 2 months.

I am stunned the ratio is this close.

I have two other close friends with 360s. One just got his third unit (he is trying to one-up me) and another has his first unit awaiting repair.

We have one of the newer 360s with HDMI, so theoretically it should never have RROD problems. Bought it used through someone here, have had it for about a month, and haven't had any problems with it.
Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

My second Xbox (Premium w/HDMI) got a RRoD, so I wouldn't feel to confident.
