When Did You Give Up On The Xbox 360?

I gave up on the 360 before I got it. I was a Nintendo/Sega fanboy back in those days, and I firmly believed the console had nothing of quality on it, and that it never would. I biasedly assumed the the RRoD was a commonplace thing, and I jumped to conclusions about the entire online community. Then a friend of mine died, and his little brother went off into the army, so he gave me all of his brother's/my friend's belongings, including his 360. I casually played it, still telling myself it was total shit and this was some kind of sin.
And I loved it. I tried to convince myself that if anything happened to it, that that was reason enough for me to go back to my belief that it was shit. And then I got red-ringed, with no warranty, and they asked why I purchased it without one. I told them how I got it, and suggested that I should contact my friend and see if they had a warranty. Microsoft just decided to "assume" they did, and sent me a box.
I fucking love my 360. I love my friends list. I love my game library. It's never let me down, and I don't believe it ever will.

I haven't, despite two RRODs.
Why? Because there is no console platform that can rival it. XBox live was the best thing Microsoft ever did for their console - it irrevocably converted me from PlayStationdom.

Mines perfectly fine.
The only thing that pisses me off is my dog who decides to hit it while I play a game screwing up the disc.
Now?
I always get the 1 dollar warranty. Hehehe.

I haven't given up on the Xbox 360 yet. I'm currently on my third one. I've had them replaced for an unreadable disk drive and later I received the dreaded red ring of death. My current one might have an issue with its HDMI port, but sadly I'm still using a standard def TV most of the time.
Tech support has actually been very helpful, even offering to replace my current console free even though my warranty has run out (if it does have HDMI issues).

Bought mine just over two years ago and it's still going strong... However as is normally the case it will probably explode the second i hit post, just to piss all over my bonfire.
I gave up after beating gears, then playing COD/halo and halo wars then I just left it on the side.
Never gave up on mine. Broke once (3 red rings...ugh) but because it was an early model, I got it fixed for free.
