360 slim reliability

e14 Contributor
Ben,
Can you comment on how reliable you think the 360 slim is compared to older models as far as reliability?  You should be very qualified to answer that.
I purchased the original 360 - it ringed - then purchased the original elite - it ringed - now I have the slim.  I can't imagine if I were a serious gamer.Ben,

    I bought a 360 back around x-mas 2007.  It red ringed on me in Nov 2010.  Microsoft extended their warranty by 2 years after the date of purchase for the original 360 design.  I was one of the lucky ones and my x-box ringed 13 days before the extended warranty expired.  I had done all of the tests that Microsoft makes you run through to determine the cause of the red ring failure.  They said it was the unit.  I sent off my X-box to them and within 2 weeks I had a refurbished replacement sent to me with a free month of Gold membership as a "sorry gift", which was nice.  I plugged in the new 360 and within 2 hours it red ringed.  The problem was not either unit it was the power supply.  I replaced the power supply and everything is fine.
