I'm on my third. Never paid a dime beyond my first buy tho =)

 

I've always wondered about people who tell me they've PAID for 4 or 5 VBOX 360s.  Why would they do that?  The MS warranty on the RROD issue is a 3 year warranty... (heck, it's only been about 3 years since the 360 was released, so even an original first series console is covered by the warranty.

Then again, they could be like my brother.  His red ringed 6 mos. ago, and he still hasn't sent it in to get it fixed.  Instead he bought another one that red ringed, and now that one is gathering dust too... and still he hasn't sent either XBOX in to get fixed for free.

 

Yeah, I don't understand it neither. With MS covering every expense including shipping why would you want to buy a new console? It's silly. I paid 400€ at launch back in 2005 and the hell if I'm gonna spend money buying a new unit considering MS who are to blame for the whole thing will fix it for free.
