That's right, after a particularly good run I've had another Xbox 360 die on me. This time a debug unit.

While the instances of Xbox 360 red rings have certainly dropped, I do still hear stories about the console's DVD player giving up the ghost. That's what happened to me in July last year when my last 360 died and that seems to be the case this time around. I was playing the end of LEGO Batman The Videogame when the game paused and a "dirty disc" error popped up on the screen. A few more runs at playing the game allowed me to get a few minutes in before the console crapped out on me again.

Just last month my brother had his Xbox 360's DVD drive die on him as well. He recently went out and purchased a replacement Xbox 360 Arcade.

For those keeping track I've now had a total of ten Xbox 360s die on me since the launch of the console. (That's counting debug units and retail consoles). Of those eight died with a Red Ring error and two died with perpetual dirty disc errors.

so thats what accounts for the increased sales for those 360's this month...

Seriously, though, this is one of the reasons I dislike the Xbox. Having 10 fail you in a 3 year period is just unacceptable.

Have you tried to fix it yourself?

Seriously, I have a 360, and I like it. But if it even RROD'd on me 3 times (2 times and I would have to consider selling it) I would sell it (the refurb that they sent me back) and all of my games and buy a PS3...

Or you could have gotten a Nyko Intercooler EX (not regular) like not have gotten an RROD to date. :]

When 10 consoles break on you:

1. You must be doing something that helps it break (ex no ventilation)
2. You are mentally retarded to buy/exchange more of them after 3rd one broke. free of charge or not,,

...that has to be a record.

Man, that SUCKS. I'd be PISSED!

Yea...no offense but either you are making this up are you are doing something to make them break yourself. Or you way too stubborn not to just quit on the 360. One of those 3 answers there.

 nope. my best friend had 12. He says the only reaon he keeps it is because Lost Odyssey will never be on any other console and cause Halo 3 was good.

I would go to Bill Gates house and take his Xbox
