How many times has your 360 died?

Never had a 360 die one me, I traded in my 20GB for credit on an Elite 2 years ago, still no problems.

My 360 hasn't died so far *touch wood* but then again, I never use it that much for it to heat then over heat.

My first console died 3 times (each time at the beginning of holidays - a massive kick in the nuts). My new console has yet to die (it's about 10 months old).

I am on my 5th 360.

My Halo 3 Edition red ringed and they fixed it (seriously) and I'm using it right now!

I'm currently on my fourth.
 
November 2005 - June 2006 (First one)
June 2006 - August 2007 (Second one)
September 2007 - August 2008 (Third one -- brand new elite)
August 2008 - Present (Xbox360 Elite, still going strong)

Zero, but almost once.  I got an RROD, but once it cooled down it''s worked fine of over a year.   I've had it 3 years now.

3 separate xbox's. All 3 red ringed and were fixed by MS. They all still (currently) work, but my failure rate is 100%.

I've got a Halo 3 edition as well and I hope it doesn't poop out anytime soon because I'm pretty sure they'd give me a crappy normal refurbished piece here if it did. Is yours noisey as well? The new Elites seem really quiet compared to mine.

None, but that's because I haven't played it that much and the fact that it's only a year old

I'm on my second, first died in the middle of Fallout 3, kinda happy it did happen as my warranty was only a few weeks off and judging by the terrible load times it had been enduring for a while and regular crashes for no reason, I was more relieved when it did happen knowing I'd get a freebie repair.

It hasn't....yet.  But just got it last Nov MW2 edition.

#963 Posted by pepsimax (51 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Mine had an error 74 just once \o/

My original Xenon 360 died on me once and I had it replaced (it was still within the extended warranty period for RRD replacements) though I hardly play on that one anymore (and in fact, I have taken it apart just out of curiosity). Ever since I got my Arcade (a Jasper model with a 120GB hard drive attached), it hasn't died on me once, which is the main reason why I no real incentive to shell out for one of the newer slim models.

I still have my 360 from launch, I already had it fixed for RROD and now just the other day it broke again. 
I get sound but no picture???

I'm on my third 360 now, this one has lasted more than a year now, almost 2 I'd say, so kudos to it.

#967 Posted by Revan_NL (289 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I have 2 360s. One of them died twice (a month after launch and about a year after that). My Elite is still working great, bought it two years ago. Although I kinda want it to break down, gives me an excuse to buy the slim.

#968 Posted by Old_Man_Coaster (13 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I also have two 360s.  The first one had the RROD about 16 months after I bought it, and the second one has run just fine.  Have about 5-6 years combined between them, so it has mostly been ok.

#969 Posted by rentfn (1161 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I'm on my third

#970 Posted by Mysterysheep (256 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

7 since launch and that's not a joke.

#971 Posted by Mrskidders (1330 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Launch 360 - Still works
Launch Elite - Still works
Launch 360S - Still works
 
I think im in a minority but have never had a console, handheld or PC die on me.  I still play my gameboy sometimes and my Master System is plugged into my retro TV for mad Shinobi action.

My first 360 (bought in 2006) has died once, gotten repaired and then died again recently. So I've bought one of the new "slim" ones, I just hope it lasts as long as my first one did.

#974 Posted by huntad (1911 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I'm either on number 5 or number 6 (including refurbished ones). Honestly, I've lost count. I'm being dead serious too. It wasn't as big of a deal as it could've been though since they were all under warranty...except for the one that I have now (knock on wood).
