I just have a stick up my ass about Microsoft hardware because of 5 dead consoles.
Those were Falcons or older right? I've never heard about dead Jasper, Trinity or Corona consoles.
2 were red rings, the other three all had bad disc drives. I sent them my last console in 2009, and they finally got it in their heads to send me a console with a revised motherboard design. I haven't played this console as much as the others, but it still works.
When I say bad disc drive, one console would not read anything, and the other two literally etched deep circular patterns into the discs. Mind you, these consoles were horizontal and not touched or moved at all during play. Two copies of oblivion were destroyed, and Rainbow six vegas was getting beat to hell by a different console, but it survived in the end. I sent the console back anyways because it was only a matter of time.
It's really eerie to hear the disc inside your console rattle around for a few seconds, then hear an awful scratching and crunching sound, followed by the dvd drive slowing down and the console saying "disc unreadable".
