How can i defend a 360 when this happens.. (Lots of cursing)

[DirtyP2002]

Hey my HDD died 3 days ago. I called Xbox support and there is no way that they could replace the broken HDD without the "prof of purchase". I have to buy a new 120 GB HDD for 80 €. story of my life.

I mean, do I have to keep every freaking "proof of purchase" for every piece of hardware, because I know it will break sooner or later?

I had never any problems with the controller, headset, remote, vision camera or anything else though.

 

I read tons of threads about RRod, YLOD, firmware-troubles etc etc. I mean, I can get my Genesis out and play it with my friend whenever I feel like, but I know for sure my Xbox360 or a PS3 won't last more than 10 years. This is the first gen that has these problems.
