I can honestly say I've had my xbox since the beginning. I got it a week after it debuted into the world and while all my friends xbox's got the infamous red ring of death mine was still kicking ass. I was really proud of the little old guy, never froze, never lagged (a lot anyway) just kept going, sometimes four to five hours even.

But alas, not more than an hour ago, I went to play it again and this time it never came on. Like a person who dies peacefully in their sleep, my 360 would never wake again *sigh and sob*

So good-bye friend, while we will never play games like bioshock 2 or the latest madden together, or going on killing sprees online to all the noobs in MewTwo, I will still have all the fond memories from the yester years. Farewell.

...

On a lighter note, those new 360 elites are pretty cool, with bigger harddrives and colored black, plus there cheaper than their former consoles. So in a way I'm saying good-bye to an old friend but then turning around to date his younger sister. YAY!
i salute your xbox it is a shame i never got to play against it. it sounded like a mighty warrior and for that i salute your xbox

Is that seriously good for a 360? They're worse than I thought... My PS2, Gamecube, Wii, I could leave them on for over 20 hours and they still run fine. Yeah, I've done at least that to all of them. Still, I salute your 360. It lasted a good time. But that low life expectancy is why I'm looking at getting a PS3 first.

Not much of a trooper if it can only last 4-5 hours with no problems.

My PC can do (and probably has done) that no sweat.

Yeah the Elites with the 250GB HDDs look awesome. I might need to get another HDD for mine soon

Yeah but Microsoft isn't loosing $18 on every console. It means Sony is awsome for still selling then, and while the PS3 is a beast, it's not a practical money-making machine.

Not trying to start a console war here, but those are the facts. Then again, Sony won't need to develop a new console for a decade or so :D

Give it a soldier's burial.

And then go "interface" with his younger sister.

I'm glad my 360 hasn't gone to the rings yet, one of the older ones also. (i'm dreading when I turn it on now)

Some of us don't waste our lives away playing games, 4-5 hours is good in my opinion, at least people like him have lives.

OT: my Xbox was also a trooper, but died in 2008, one minute before 2009, i was like arghhhh! got a new one which worked fine for about half a year then the Xbox decided that disks were evil and needed to be persuaded to use them...how i hated the laser in that piece of crap!

Now i have an Elite that kicks arse!!!!!

Oh look, an arse hole.

I have a life thanks. 4-5 hours isn't an impressive time.

People buy watches that go 3000m under water, it doesn't mean they're ever going to; they just like to know that they can.
nooooo not an arse hole...i wasn't aiming that at you, i was just saying at least he has a life without playing games for like a full day, didn't mean anything aimed at you, was just stating, my bad

that's probably what killed it, picked up a "virus" on one of it's nights out, screwing around with the frat boys and skanky ass Wii's

OT: sorry about the console lad, but at least it was only one, I've had to endure the death of triplets.
