Am I the only one getting sick of the crap fest that gaming consoles have become?

My 4th 360 is starting to act up with the open tray error. The first 3 were replaced under warranty. This one is just over 2 years old and out of warranty.

I went through 9, yes, 9 original xboxs all under warranty.

I still have my original PS1, which still works after like 15 years.

I still have my original Sega Genesis that still works.

I still have my original Super Nintendo which still works.

I still have my original NES which still works (and another NES that I got from a relative that I've fixed with a new cartridge connector).

My original NES is 23 years old. All of my original units have the original controllers. My older units were played MUCH more than the newer. I've been through like 20 360 controllers over the years.

I think my console days are coming to and end until they can produce something that isn't a piece of crap.

Had my 360 for over 4 years and never once had a problem. I know people that have had 5 and 6. Sucks to be you guys.

My 360 got liquid spilled in it and went red ring. I stored it for a month or so and on a whim decided to reconnect it. It fired up perfectly.

My PS3 had a similar experience except I tried firing it up after a month and it stilled malfunctioned. 4 months later though and it works fine.

Get a ps3 dummy. Noob move to whine about an xbox. what did you expect after the 3rd one? For buying 9 360's you must be retard of the century.

Blame the damn treehuggers.

We aren't allowed to used lead in solder any more, so electronic components are subject to random circuit failures after a few years. All the alternative substances have issues with crystallization, whiskering, micro-fractures, and other related problems.

My Xbox360 died three separate deaths over about 5 years. First a got the red ring, while still under warrenty. Then my harddrive failed, and then the second machine died again from the red rings outside of warranty. I refuse to pay for a new machine.

Agree with the comments about console quality. If I still had my SNES I'm sure it would still be running.
