I got my elite when they first came out. It lasted until about 2 months ago before it got the rings. I sent it back on a monday and microsoft had it back to my door on friday, working like new. I never really noticed it was gone. At least they are quick about repairing units that have the 3 rings.

I also got a PS3 when they first came out. I had nothing but problems with it and sold it a few months later. I waited a year or so and bought a new PS3 after it seemed that most of the bugs were worked out.

Both systems seem to have improved a lot over the last 2 years or so in terms or reliability.

I'll definitely be buying Forza 3, Modern Warfare 2, and hopefully GT5 when they come out in november/december. Those are going to be busy months with all the new games coming out.
