I’m currently on my third Xbox 360 system, but I’ve spoken with others on their fourth or fifth. It’s been estimated that about 1/3 Xbox 360 consoles fail.  Early models of the console would scratch discs and read games as if they were DVDs (presenting the ironic “please insert this disc into an Xbox 360 console” message.) But the most persistent and annoying problem is the infamous “Red Ring of Death“. The Red Ring is occurs when the Xbox 360 experiences a general hardware failure.
