I was talking with my mother earlier today about all the Xbox 360's she has bought for my brother and I when we were kids. I have gone through 8 retail Xbox 360 consoles because they broke so damn easy.

April 20th 2006: Remember this day well, I got my first Xbox 360, was a Xenon had fun for a year and it broke. RROD

Fall 2007: Made my father buy me a Xbox 360 for just for Halo 3. Had to do a crap ton of chores. I believe it was a Zephyr but it broke about 6 months later. RROD

Summer 2008: Got another Xenon, RROD almost a year later.

Summer 2009: Got an Opus broke really fast by RROD. Missed out on the Reach Beta, luckily I got to play a match at least of invasion from my brother's friend's Xbox.

Winter 2009: Got an Opus again and it broke fast too, probably had it a few months, broke from RROD, personally I think Opus's break so much faster than Xenon's do.

Summer 2010: Got a Falcon from a friend for 100 dollars with Halo 3, CoD 4, and WaW that barely used it and it RROD'd a year later.

Fall 2011: I got a Jasper that hasn't broke yet, I sold it on eBay a few months ago. HDMI port broke in 2012 though which pissed me off.

Winter 2013: My mother just one day came home with a Xbox 360 slim for no reason and said, "here you go", it was a corona that came with Skyrim and Forza 4, also came with a year of live and a free month of hulu plus. that's the one I use right now damn thing looks and works just like it did day one, I put a 500gb HDD in it last month. Love this console and I actually use it way more than my Xbox One.

Modified Xbox 360's

Winter 2012: Made a JTAG from a Xenon I bought on eBay, I got three months of fun from it at least.

Fall: 2013: Made another JTAG from a Xenon a neighbor gave me, Got 2 weeks out of it.

Spring 2014: Bought what I call a "haunted" Zephyr from a local pawn shop, worked fine, then I JTAG'd it and got like 2 hours and it started doing weird stuff. Would power on and off by it's self, then every time I booted it up it would give me a different error code every time. Said f*ck this thing and brought it to my shed and beat it with a hammer.

Summer 2014: I was sick of modding my own consoles so I bought my RGH Trinity from HuskerHeaven HuskerHeaven for pretty cheap. Love that thing.

I've gone through 4. I'd say that they've each lasted about 8 months on average. I'm due to get an Xbox One so hopefully I get a lot more time out of that.

Yeah I have like 5 junk Xenon's in my room right now. They're all broken except for one that can't be JTAG'd and the drive is broken so I'm considering bringing them out back and just destroying them.

If I could absolutely not fix a Xbox 360 console,I would salvage what parts I can from it and go shoot it haha.

Don't your consoles come with warranties or do you just like throwing them out and buying new ones?

6 in 10 years.

1 died from drinking beer.
1 died because of a power surge in my neighborhood.

The rest died because of rage.

I had a Zephyr once that I stupidly did the nuts and bolts clamp thing to, it RROD after 3 months.

Now I have four Jaspers and never have a problem with them, I replace the thermal compound with Artic Silver 5 and they run as cool as.

How different are the temps you would say when you changed the thermal compound to artic silver?

Its a definite drop. Maybe 5-10C. Jasper's you can get away with not changing it. It's mainly the older consoles, zephyr's and falcons you gotta worry about.
