My XBox 360 lasted more than most, 18 months. However just google for "red light of death" and see how many people are having the same problems I am. Microsoft has off-shored it customer care, has a defective product, and wants $139 to fix their known defect.
I would stay away from this system and buy a PS3. With this low a quality product, there is a $139 annual repair bill and poor customer support.

Love the system. But for the price, it should have lasted longer. We played it every day for a year and took great care of it. Then it died, for no reason. We must buy another one, because it's a part of our lives. But spending another $300? So disappointing.

I haven't had any problem yet with this product, but I ensure that the enviorement is too cool to put on the system.

I've had an Xbox 360 for about 6 months now. The longer I have it, the more I love it. And the games that are out and coming out for it are really promising.
It's been out the longest out of the current generation models (PS3 and Wii), so it's game title selection is much more vast than the other models.
It's geared to be a system that you can replace your home DVD player with, and it does work good for movies, but I still like my JVC DVD Player better for movies.
Heat is a huge concern with the XBox 360. If you buy one, also buy the Nyko Intercooler and don't use the xbox without the intercooler hooked up. It really helps pull heat out of the unit. Also be careful where you put it. If you stuff it inside an entertaiment center with no heat, you are bound to have issues.
Mine recently died. I went to turn it on and there was no video. Sound worked and I could hear it boot up, but no video. I called Microsoft Xbox Support and they were very helpful helping me to get it fixed. I haven't gotten it back yet, but other hardware that microsoft has repaired for me was a fast turnaround. I hear a lot of people complain about Microsoft, but honestly, I can't say a bad thing about their support.
There's only 2 things I can complain about with the 360.
1. You can only watch videos that are on DVD or downloaded from the Xbox Live marketplace. I have numerous .AVI backups that I was hoping would play on it while I was deployed in Iraq, and to my knowledge, there is no way to get them to work. Frustrating when you have 300GB of compressed movies and no way to play them, except on my laptop.
2. Mine died after only 6 months, and looking on the internet, a lot of other people have had problems with theirs. The quality just doesn't seem that great for a system that costs no less than $300 dollars. I took very good care of my system, and didn't expect it to die after only 6 months, but I guess that beats it dying right after my warranty expired! On the other hand, Microsoft has a pretty warranty (One year, out of the box), and their support is quite good.
I like the Xbox so well that I bought another one to replace mine that is being serviced. It's being shipped to me in Iraq, and I will have 'Xbox withdrawals' until it comes in. Hey, there's nothing else to do here to keep your sanity!!! LOL

Listen everyone! I want to help anyone with overheating problems for the XBOX360. Let's just say I have done my homework. Now, if you want your XBOX360 to really last a long life do NOT buy a hard drive. The current hard drive attaches to the main air flow of the XBOX360. You should buy two 512MB =1GB. Buy one intercooler fan! Also, do not put your XBOX in a shelf but rather put it out in the open air to breathe in and out. For instance, put the thing on a big plastic container that can hold your games and whatever else. Place your XBOX360 horizontal NOT vertical!!! Basically, it is flat and won't choke the XBOX like carpet. I guarantee it will not overheat!!! Play for hours and the thing will be as cool as a cucumber. If you want to play XBOX1 games then buy a XBOX1 console. Trust me! Now, the 1GB storage is a fair trade to save the life of a $300 console. XBOX360 is really designed for it's own games, not the previous consoles. Yes, it has the compatibility but at a heavy risky price. Microsoft made the 512MB card for a reason! Their focus for backwards plays is way less than PS3 and Wii combined. I wonder why... Please take my advice and only play 360 games on the 360, until we or microsoft comes out with an EXTERNAL hard drive!!! It will happen like the HD DVD player external. Believe it or NOT! Thank you
