Its just insane how these things die.

Maybe you should find a new console, something not MS. Or perhaps join the ultimate gaming platform, the PC?

was it one of the older ones or the newer one

I bought mine recently and have had nothing but fun. It is all luck.

i'm on my third one too. sucks, but i really like it when it does work.

two dead was my max...1st one died after about 8 months...second one was only built a month ago...died 5 days after purchase... I gave in and got a PS3. Right now, I'm thrilled with it.

What happened to it? RRoD? Whats the date on it?

 

[GrantMeThePower]

Yes, RRoD. It was my second launch unit.

First, one of the two launch units i had died. This was about 6 months ago.

1 month after that the replacement died.

Now this, my other original, died.

I bought a PS3. I like it, as a system, much better, but the games are not there. Ratchet is fun, and I want to play uncharted, but looking at this coming years games i'm most excited about Alan Wake and Fable 2 and so i must keep the xbox even though i would love to boycott the system at this point.

Those two games are PC bound FYI.

At least its consistent with failures. You purchased both 360s prior to the beginning of this past summer, they were both possible to RRoD on you.
