You are wrong. It didn't burn itself down in the first 2-3 years of it's life. However if you go now and look at reddit, ebay, youtube, and many more places there are many more units of S consoles with Red dot of death, than FAT consoles (jasper motherboards) with RROD. In fact there is pretty much no jasper consoles overheated, but there is many S consoles died already. If you compare it to the earlier FAT consoles, then yes, I agree, they are much better than 2005-2007 units. Maybe as good as 2008 units. However 2009 and 2010 units of the FAT consoles - Jaspers, are the best and the most reliable ones. They live for 10 even 15 years, but there are many S consoles which are dying after 5-6-7-8 years of use with Red dot of death. But still .. this was not the point. We were talking purely about the design itself. Many people like the FAT one the most. So for some the S is the prettier for other the FAT one is the prettier. |

S model had the lowest failure rate of the first two models and S model had a pretty small fail rate.Sadly MS did not fix the disc issue if the console got moved. The S model used a different MB and cooler CPU and GPU. I don't trust the E model as it was made to cut costs everhwhere they could. I doubt they spent much time on QC. |
I've had my 360 Slim since 2010 and have never had an issue with it. And, I do still use it. In fact, it's the only Microsoft console I've ever owned that didn't suffer some kind of failure at some point. Original XBox (power button stopped functioning), XBox 360 Premium (RROD), XBox One (power brick died, had to be replaced with a 3rd party power supply to get working again).
