My 360 circa 2007 however got RROD a year later and I fear it may be on its last legs the way it's sounding today. And my friend's PS3 60GB launch model died on him late last year. |
well that is true with almost all electronic now a day.... most PCs tank faster than they use to, most laptop don't last as long as they use to, and the best example is the cellphone industry this is ridiculous.... back in the 90's I could throw my nokia in the bath tube smash against the wall and it would still work now try that with any phone today....
this is due to miniaturisation of the components + more power.... you get less sturdy pieces with miniaturisation and higher power usually means higher temperatures.... so that combo makes the thing more powerfull and smaller but at the cost of longevity..... this is not surprising this a technical reality of things.... hence also why I'm not buying smartphones and certainly not apple stuff.....
