83.9 million of those 360s have a red ring of death.

Can has xbox360?

No!

I remember the so-called "towel trick" to get the 360 working again, but I didn't actually do that.

Mine was out of warranty, but I didn't want to contain all the heat in the case, so I used a couple of sticks to stop the fans, until it overheated, and then let it cool down again for a few hours.

As far as I was concerned, it was broken, so I wasn't really going to harm it any further.

Worked fine after that! :-)

That's totally false. The lights on all 360's from the slim version on cannot physically display red. Microsoft were not bullshitting when they said they solved the red ring.

Yes, much like the best-looking Howard brother is Clint.

Had a good run overall, and I had a blast with a few games here and there. Still need to get a few games that I've missed out on.

Not defending the 360's legendarily poor reliability for much of this past generation, but you're comparing a modern system with more than a few moving parts with an old cartridge-based system with few/no moving parts - one is of course going to be more reliable than the other just by nature.

It's true that motherboards before Jasper were plagued by the RRoD. There were extreme rates of failure.
Correct me if I'm wrong but since Jasper I think the problem has been solved. That means that rates of failure have been kept to the expected number for electronics.

Anyway, my XBOX 360 was bought in 2010, about a month before the slim edition was announced and it still works.

You're an idiot.
He's an idiot. :P
Exactly. Mine works, and I've had thousands of hours on it. And I've never heard of an Xbox dying from anyone I know that has one. I do have a friend that has had his PS3 replaced twice, though. Go figure.

84 million http://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-2014-399-xbox-one-out-now-xbox-360-sales-rise-to-84-million/1100-6420231/

and that was 2 years ago so i wouldnt be surprised if the 360's are skirting 90 million by now

and the sega cd
playstation
and sega saturn are each well over 20 years old i have a 19 year old ps 1
and a 22 year old sega saturn both still work fine

microsoft ironed out the mistakes with the jasper motherboard and since the slim no xbox 360 actually fried itself anymore
with 84 million 360's around
and probably more then 60 million of those in good working order the machine will be around on the used market for years to come

its only now that the nes is becoming somewhat scarce

And just think, we're now in the early days of culture looking back nostalgically to the age of the PS3 and the Xbox 360.

'You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy.' Get used to hearing that soon.

VR porn, sex robots, Xbox 666, weather forecast. News at 11.

I am attracted to 360 Stingray. If only it had the same amount of great exclusives like PS3 that were not Halo or Gears of Brown, and free online like PS3, I would get it. But I am only interested in Forza and not even sure if I would like it.

Nothing wrong there. Can't wait.
