My first xbox failed after 4 years due to a faulty disc drive, sold it to hmv, thank goodness the drive worked when they tested it, so only had to spend £50 on the slim.

I've never had an xbox die on me. My halo 3 LE edition overheated once, but I sold it. Now I have the jasper version, so hopefully it won't die so easily.

It is very dark, and you are likely to be eaten by a Grue.

Mine was 1 year old when it went under. I went to PC and have never gone back. There is no reason to, whatsoever.

I'm a profesional lurker. A post from me is a rarity...and yet I've still been banned 3 times :(

My original model from 2005 still works perfectly.

I lost 2 xboxes and each lasted about a year until the elite came out and now I have 2 slims which are still working.

deej pls

I got my first around '08, which died about 3 years later.

I then waited, and got a slim the week they came out.

Wake me, when you need me.

I had the same model as you, op. It last 2 years until it finally met its maker. I bought a used arcade from a friend for $40 and slapped my H3 HDD on there and used that xbox for 2 years. That one died, then I bought the GoW3 LE xbox that came out in 2011. Probably won't be buying another console until next gen.

I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

It was barley a year old when it got it. I went through 3 of them because of that. It's pathetic the original Xbox was made better than the 360. I had a used one and it lasted for years before I traded it in. After so many years the only problem it had was the fan. Sometimes I had to spin it for it to start.

Here is the Slayer of Cake. May he find piece in death after a life full of violence and unrest battling the tyranny of desserts.

My xbox is the 20GB premium one, not sure how long I have had it since I bought it from my uncle, might be around 2 years ago and god knows how long my uncle had the xbox for. Still no RRoD.

I bought my 1st Xbox 360 mid 2008 and it broke about 3 years later. My current 360 has drive problems every now and then, but its ok so far.

Keep It Clean!

I've had my white one from '07 and it still hasn't died.

I seriously don't get why people freak out over the Red Ring of Death if they can't even bother to maintain the Xbox properly.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

Like 3 months. It was one of those Xbox 360 Elites. The next Xbox lasted about two and a half years. This one is about two years old.

  • 01.05.2013 5:29 AM PDT

I've ha 3 Xboxes since early 2007.

  • 01.05.2013 5:56 AM PDT

First one lasted two years. Sent it off, they sent me a new one.

That one has been going strong for four years.

  • 01.05.2013 5:58 AM PDT

Just for the record, cough syrup is the bane of my existence.

I had the very first version of the 360. Lasted for about 2 years.

The one I have now has been going strong for 4 and a half years.

  • 01.05.2013 5:58 AM PDT

Get the hell off my planet!

Never had RRoD, but my first (2007) console had E74 in 2010, sent it in on warranty, then in 2011 it started giving me disc reading problems, until it stopped reading discs at the dawn of 2012. Sent it in in March, and this one is fine so far.

I call it Boxy II.

I'm on my 6th Xbox and not a single one got the red ring. They met different ends but never red rong.

01: Gave it away because a kid in my neighbourhood could not afford one.

02: Bounced off a wall.

03: Stubbed my toe on it when drunk. It proceed to get stomped on several times.

04: Again, gave it away. Ex girlfriends little brother.

05: The shelf it was on fell over due to a band wind storm. Window was open before hand and I was home when it started.

06: Going stong.


Some of these reasons are actually quite amiable. Props to you.

If you don't mind me asking, though, how'd it bounce off the wall on number 2, though?

  • 01.05.2013 6:15 AM PDT

3 years, xbox 360 elite. Still my first and only 360.

  • 01.05.2013 6:16 AM PDT

Shakes Magic 8 Ball

The Xbox 360 Elite I bought when it was a newly released console finally started having issues with the disc tray. That console is in my brother's possession though, I have a slim. Both still operate, he's just having disc tray issues.

  • 01.05.2013 6:20 AM PDT

Haha, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Mine broke several times. I got it traded away for a new one as soon as I could.
