There are only two things I have ever hated about the 360:
1) No web browser.
2) It makes me worry. I LOVE playing my 360, and I purposely waited to buy one until the Falcons came out, but my first one got E74 (or the beginnings of that error--yellow and green lines all over the screen). I had gone about a year with no trouble from my Falcon, and was starting to feel like it was going to be ok. But it wasn't. I have gotten into the habit of letting my 360 idle on the dashboard for 20 minutes after playing. I saw a video on YouTube that pretty much proves the most dangerous time in a 360's life is the time right after you shut the thing down. Running a 360 at full load and then immediately shutting off is a BIG contributor to RRoD, because there are no fans running to cool off the hot components. (Better solders or a thicker motherboard wafer would probably help with this problem.)
I HATE that I feel the need to take such precautions with my 360, but I really don't like going a week without it. At least now I will have my new PS3 if my 360 does this again. I plan on keeping both in action for the rest of the generation, but I imagine the 360 will still be my favorite.
