By now, we should hope you know the drill: Has it been a good 36 months for you? What do you hope for in the next 12? What are you afraid of? Well, besides, you know, the obvious.

I'd totally agree with you (it being the most intelligent console to buy) if only it had Bluray. That was the deciding factor for me when choosing between the the 360 and PS3. That's the only thing MS did wrong w/ this console, in my opinion. Otherwise it has kicked the PS3's ass.

Despite mine RRoDing twice, I'd agree, best console to own, so far atleast.
As someone who owns all three, I find myself going to the Xbox 360 the most, making the RRoD problem all the more annyoing; I wouldn't be quite so pissed if my Wii or PS3 died because I just don't use them as much.

Sorry, PS3 is the best console to own. Isn't it now time for Microsoft to prematurely launch the followup and drop support for 360 overnight?

Yeah Microsoft made a huge mistake when they didn't implement the then-unfinished Blu-Ray spec (not to mention that Blu-Ray probably wasn't even being manufactured at the time) into their console.
While my launch 360 has yet to RROD (fingers crossed) I think that the 360 was a good learning experience for them. Instead of having the mindset that anything and everything can be fixed with revisions after the fact, I believe that the 360's sucessor will be a sturdier machine because of their flub this generation.
Thanks for 3 years of memories thus far Xbox 360, hopefully you've got another 2 or so in you.

My launch 360 is still running strong... sure it occasionally makes a weedeating noise when booting GTA or any game made by Bethesda, but I would never take a Wii or PS3 over it.
Not fanboyism, I owned a PS1 and a PS3 and my share of Gameboys in the day... Microsoft has just blown me away this generation. I'm not looking back.

Hey, me too. I was in the middle of a Halo match last night when I got the E47 error code. Luckily I have my warranty from Best Buy and got a new one. That's the 3rd one I've had to return, the warranty is the best thing I ever bought. Still my favorite console.

The 360 has been my favorite console this gen. Just about every game that I've wanted to play has been available on the 360. BTW, my launch console is still chuggin' along.

My launch unit is still going strong, apart from the odd disc tray stick :)

Likewise. My launch 360 is still going strong, and it sees daily use.
Between streaming music and movies from my server and playing games (and now even streaming Netflix movies - which seriously rocks), the 360 has been seen more use than any console I have ever owned.

Does this mean that the 3 year RROD cover is over? I bought my elite in 07, it got the RROD, got a new one, and this one broke last night. Help?

Yeah, all I thought of when I saw the title to this post was "Wow, does this mean I'm in or out of the 3-year RRoD protection?"
Still curious about that.
My launch day one died, the replacement died, and I'm cruising on my third... Still hangin' in there. Total noisy junk, proprietary bullshit periphs, but still the best choice for a gamer. You just should be without one.
