As some of you may have noticed in the Microsoft forum, my launch unit Xbox 360 also has been giving me some issues as well. Today I replaced that launch unit Xbox with one of the new Xbox 360 slim units [250 gig HDD]. Next up will be one of the new Slim PS3's. May my launch systems rest in piece, it was a good run

RIP

• Launch Xbox 360 with 20gig HDD. June 2006 - September 2011 [with 2 stops into Microsoft due to RROD]
•  Launch PS3 with 20gig HDD. December 2006 - September 2011 [no problems till now] It was a good run launch units but it's time to replace them with the new slim units. May the old systems rest in peace.

both down pretty much simultaneously?

Ouch...that sucks

hopefully it's just co-incidence and not a sign of something more sinister

Yeah, both problems came up within a week of each other. Strange having to replace both systems. My older generation consoles (N64, Gamecube, PS2) are still running strong after all these years (in the case of the N64 that's hitting on 12 years for me).
