Got mine in late December 2005 (manufactured in early December 2005). Only problem I've had is a game freezing up once in a very great while (twice overall, I think). I love my 360!

I had a perfectly working launch system until Dead Rising came out. 2 mins later it wouldn't even boot to the dashboard.

My replacement unit has been perfect, but I learned my lesson and added the 1 year warranty through Microsoft. (still waiting for my refund though)

I bought mine on launch and it finally gave me the red rings of death last night. It was manufactured 10/13/05. I was about 5 minutes into Gears of war. Perfect timing. MS is sending me a box to ship it back for repair. Hopefully it wont take too long. What little I got to play of GoW was great.

Funny thing is that the dashboard and arcade games still work perfectly, its just when i start playing the game that the screen freezes and de-interlaces or I get the lights.

I'll start off (though maybe its too soon for me) purchased mine last week. Problem free so far...but purchased Best Buy's extended 2 year warranty after reading horror stories on several forums.
oh yeah, it was manufactured 06-21-2006 and still problem free

I got mine launch week in November 2005 and it's still working great. I love it.

I have had 4 different Xbox 360s show the 3 rings of death. I am currently waiting on my "application status" to have a brand new 360 sent to me instead of a refurbished system. I have been waiting since 10/18/06!

Re: Post when you bought your XBox360 and if it is has broken down or not

I bought a system a couple of days ago. The system works fine, but I did get a bad "Ghost Recon" disk in the box. Kept on coming up, "please put disc in an XBOX360". I got a replacement from the store where I purchased the system. It works fine now. All other discs are also working. I did purchase a two year extended warranty, since a friend of mine had his calf on him; however, his was one of the first run boxes. I bought the warranty mostly because I think that MS's 90 warranty is totally inadequate, considering the problems the XBOX 360 has been having.

Re: Post when you bought your XBox360 and if it is has broken down or not

I posted earlier that I'm on my 4th system since I originally purchased it in December of last year.

It too now is dead. It won't boot up half the time; the other half it freezes within 30 seconds. It might've happened sooner, but I haven't had any time to play it the last few months because of school. (My copy of Gears of War I bought the day it was released is still sealed!) I called MS and after begging they agreed to send me a pre-paid shipping box (probably in large part because it's my 4th system). He also told me to call them again once I receive the new machine to purchase the warranty extension. Are they planning on sending me yet another bad machine?

Mine (manufactured 11/05) died a little over a week ago--three red lights, code 0100. Waiting for MS to ship me a box so that I can ship my 360 back for a refurb (undoubtedly). Although I believe mine qualifies for the special warranty for units manufactured before 1/06, it's still a good thing I paid for the MS 2-year extended warranty since I might not have been covered otherwise.
