Yeah I haven't heard much of the slims having problems.
My kid actually messed up his Reach disk tray, he dropped a game case on it while it was open and it wouldn't close after that, I thought I was gonna be screwed. I decided to open it up thinking that it might just get lucky with a simple fix. I ended up on Youtube trying to see how to take access the disk drive because I was having a little trouble with the metal case it's in. The video I ended up watching happened to be from a dude with the same issue I was having and let me say, I don't think I would have figured it out had I not watched him do it. Kinda off topic but that's the only problem I've had with my slim and we got it when Reach came out.
My other two fats are a different story. I have to pound on those bitches to get the tray to open, I'm expecting one of them to shit the bed any day now. I won't be buying any new 360s though, time to save for a couple of 720s.
If anyone here knows someone who wants a NIB Reach console, I have one for sale, $400 plus fees and shipping.
