My Xbox has never "died" yet. 
 
That being said I've only had it for like a year now.

Which one?
Okay, our first one went down with a RROD, the refurb that MS sent us got a disc drive failure, the second refurb that MS sent us got the E74.
After that, nothing but Jaspers for me. I currently have two Jasper Arcades and (knock on wood) no problems.

Never, bought it about a year and a half ago. I did yellowlight my PS3 though, ironically (then again, it was gathering dust in my closet).

Well, I've had my Xbox since 2007's Christmas and it still has not died. There was one time when I thought it died when I put it on its side, but right when I put it back up it worked just fine.

I'm on my second. First one (bought it a few months after the 360 launched) broke like 4 or 5 months ago.

I am on my 1st one and its a year old this month.  Nothing wrong with mine at all! I got three year insurance and it is instant replacement.  So when it does go wrong just pick up another one and bob's your uncle!  Even if he isn't your uncle I just don't care!!!!!!!!!!!

Only once for me. 
 
I sent the X-Box to The X-Box Repair shop, and they either sent me a new one, or they managed to fix it.  I'm not sure which.  Regardless, the only problem I'm having now is that occasionally, the X-Box has trounble reading the game disc I put in it.  I usually have to shut it down until the next day, and it's pretty much fixes itself after that happens.

Once, but instead of repairing it I bought a new ugly green special edition one. The SE has worked perfectly.

I'm currently on my 7th xbox 360. We finally got fed up and just got any elite and hasn't let us down yet.

I'm on my fifth now. After it stopped working I decided to go for a PS3, but truth be told after a while I started missing my 360. Luckily, when I turned it on it came up with the E74 error message and so Microsoft is gonna fix it for free. There might be a problem though: has anyone sent off a 360 to Microsoft to repair, after having it supposedly repaired by an individual who charged for the service? I'm worried that they might say it's been tampered with or something

Mine died yesterday...after 15 months of perfection those 3 red lights tore through my heart. After an hour I turned it on again though to get the disc out to send it to Microsoft and then it was working fine. Im too scared to touch it now though...

 three total . 
 
 1 RROD (elite) 
 2 sound and no video (elite/pro) 
 
sending the RROD back, the other two were out of warranty. i just did the towel trick on the elite and it works. i thought it was a bunch of bs like the boiling disc trick on the dreamcast.  but i figured it was bricked anyway so what the hell. wrapped it in towels, plugged in power, and let it run till it shut off twice, about 5 minutes total. i cant believe it fukin worked.  
 
(edit)  
 
well, it worked for an hour or so...actually worked on both the elite and pro. time to take some shit apart and make some heat spreaders work properly.

I find it funny that PS3 owners don't have to have topics about how many times their PS3 has died :D
