Anyone play their 360 to do death from launch and it still works?

Launch day premium still going. Have the 'disk is unreadable' error from time to time but other than that it's been ok.

Launch Core, had 5 lock ups on different games in all the time i've owned it.

 

[Kreeeee]

Are either of those cost issues or just stupid design flaws?

I have absolutely no way of logically reasoning their decision I'm afraid.

It's not the heat that kills 360's, it's the torsion heatsink attachment system expanding unevenly with the heat putting uneven pressure on the motherboard.

Still on my launch 360 here. Everyone with a broken one is obviously doing it wrong! Mine sits on the carpet next to my (very warm) amp, has disks, DVDs and junk all around it, gets knocked about, abused and played loads, even lan sessions up to 12hrs have had no effect. Only thing thats broke is my headset and thats cos I sat on the thing!

Launch core that still works here!

I actually wish the thing would RROD because the DVD trays been gradually increasing in volume to the point where I can't play it.

Guilty. Yes I am an idiot coz I bought a 360 in the first place. An even bigger idiot coz I got RROD.
