I don't know man, I am on 360 number 7, in 2.5 years, 5 of them were sent back to MS, and died 4-6 weeks later, After dealing with so much Bull shit from MS, I just decided to take a sleg hammer to it, and try buying another, So I did it lasted a few months, The last time it died , I went on youtube and watched several videos on fixing myself, bought the stuff I needed, bought some stuff off of EBAY, and fixed myself, so far so good, its lasted longer then any MS has fixed, and I dont understand, My PS3 is original 3 years old, no problems, my PS2 is 9 years old never a problem, even my PS1 still works fine, PSP, fine, every other console I have owned never had a problem, only my 360s, so maybe try fixing yourself. Good Luck.

Wow, your PS history is extremely lucky and your Xbox history is extremely unlucky.

PS2's had crazy high failure rates, especially with disc drives.  It seems like everyone I know that has an original PS3 has now had it break on them.  Almost all of those were YLOD and a few were disk drive failures.  All of them were outside of warranty, too.  It's like Sony managed to make a system that would break after a certain amount of time to get rid of all the backwards compatible units and to rake in money on repair costs.

As for your 360 woes, that's crazy unlucky.  I had one RRoD, got it back from MS repair and has been working fine again for the last 2.5 years.
