" 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 "
WTF? Why do you put up with that bull shit? I had an Xbox for a year, it got RRoD and I sold it to buy PS3.  I couldn't be happier now...

I am on my 4th 360.
 
First time was Red Ring of Death, second time the disc drive stopped working, and third time, I started having graphical issues (I was told it was the beginning of the E74 error).
 
I told Microsoft it was the Red Ring of Death every time though so I never had to pay for repairs. I get a new system within a week, so it is never a big deal.

Any problems you have with it will be fixed free of charge by Microsoft. There is no reason for anyone to spend money on a new system or repairs. The latest models don't have the same issues that plagued the 360 in the past.

never. got mine 2 years ago, the worst that happened was a freeze when the xbox logo flashes up, and a couple times when it couldn't read my disk (brought up the "play in xbox 360" message), but worked upon restart.

Nullum. 
I have my system for 1 3/4 year now. 
I must be a lucky guy.

@Johnman: Naw son I've gone through 5 I think now and the recent one was an elite. At least the one they sent me has the new chips because it was built recently but I won't say anything about it lasting in fear of jinxing myself.

On my 2nd 360 now. 
 
The only one that died on me with RROD was a launch system that lasted till 2008, microsoft got it repaired and sent back in 9 days and its going strong in my bro's room now.
 
So i'd say im pretty lucky compared to 99% of people thankfully.

Yes, screw getting an Xbox and just get a PS3.  They hardly ever break down...

I've had my 360 since back in May of 2008 and it hasn't died on me yet. I have had rare issues with it but it's been holding up really well.

Two times, then I switched to PS3 earlier this year.  I'm thinking I'll save up for my 3rd next year.
