Every single electronic device you have bought will crap out after its warranty.


Sorry but the brainwashing must be worse than I imagine. I bought my sound system 12 years ago, if a TV doesn't last a decade its crap (and if you do not buy the 399$ Walmart special it will most of the time last that long), my computer has been around for 4.5 years. The only electronic devices that are commonly crapping out after 2 years are cell phones. But this happens because cell phone manufacturers suck. If you replace the battery in your iPhone/iPod after 2-3 years it should be good to go for longer (although you might want a new one )

Not having it last long enough after the warranty, and haing it crap out after the warranty are two different things. I am a fan of long term electronics use as well. I still play my N64 and GBA from time to time because of the feel of the controller. I've maintained my computer for a good 4ish years now, and I am only thinking of replacing it because I will have a nice supply of extra cash laying around. And you can make those $100 Wal-mart special TVs last for a decade easy. That is all entirely irrelevant to whether or not you will get enough enjoyment out of a 360 though. At the end of the three year warranty there will be the next gen of consoles coming out very soon. Most people on this site will have the latest and greatest at or near release.
