I got my 360 elite in 2007 and it only failed the day Mass Effect 2 came out (Crashed during gameplay) and due to the error being an E74 error I had it fixed for free and no problems since.
So in all I have had the 1st 360 I ever owned.

Too many. Those white 360's early on were such junky consoles. I bought an Elite in 2009 and it's still going. One day when the 360 is $99 or less I'll pick one up so I don't lose access to my library when my Elite inevitably dies.
