Started last gen on XBox 360.
First one died after ONE game. I barely managed to finish up Lost Planet and got the RRoD.
Was changed, played a few more games, second one died not two months apart from the first one, while playing Overlord.
Did not send it back for repairs this time.
Sold it to a friend that needed a unit for parts.
Bought a PSP off the money and pocketed the rest.
Got a phat PS3 soon after.
4 years later had a friend open it up and replace the thermal paste and install a chip to force the fan to run faster.
2 years ago I sold it off and it's still working to this day ... though it does sound like an airplane taking off and tends to overheat a bit in some games - the likes of Red Dead Redemption or GTA -. Still runs, mostly ok, far as I know.
Never an YLoD though.
My Slimp PS3, at the moment, is quiet as a mouse and runs like a dream. Especially if I play Mario on it XD.
I think I had a pretty decent gen.
