The problems you have had are quite uncommon. It's just sods law, RRoD gave 360 a bad light. Now you get normal console issues and it seems worse than it is. I have had my controller since 2005. Never had 1 problem. Same for my HDD and DVD Drive. But yet I have had RRoD. So I guess you just got unluncky. To be honest my 360 is not my worst problem console. I went through 5 PS2's in 3 years. 4 Ps1's and 2 N64's. I'm only on my 2nd 360!

Yeah classic DVD Drive issues on Ps2 hit me, and Laser issues on Ps1's. Only ever had 1 snes and nes though. They were built so well.

Talking about 360 controllers. This is no joke. I threw one of my 2ndry controllers against my living room wall 1-2 years ago. ( long story ). It was fully disfigured around the RT. The battery pack I found the other side of the room.  Guess what I thought it was gonna be absolutely destroyed and would no way work. It worked perfectly. Even the RT sensing for acceleration worked perfect. LOL. That made me think they are built awesome. I used it for a year until I decided to buy a new one so my friends didnt have a disfigured controller. It was cracked down the back to. LOL



Here's what you do:

Stop being a fanboy and accept that the 360 is a rather unreliable piece of hardware. >_>

I'd never done it before, but it was all COD4's fault. On Veteran the Epilogue? Man I was there about an hour and kept getting like within 2 steps of the door and the timer running out. I was so pissed. Then my Wife made some comment when she walked in about me not being able to do it, and I just lobbed it at full strength. It felt so good. LOL. Then I was like that wasnt good. Picked it up, looked at it and thought there is no way that will work now. Even the battery pack had a hairline crack. Tried it and it all worked. Couldnt believe it. LOL.
