I'm considering buying one and getting it modded by a friend of mine but if I do that, I would assume that would negate the warranty on the 360. I have heard some things about the 360 breaking down at a high rate (namely in the thread in Rants) and I wouldn't want to risk having my 360 break down after a couple months and I have to buy a new one. NOTE: This is not a poll to figure out whether or not you like the games of the 360 or would prefer a Wii or PS3 because I am not interested in those machines. I am only interesting in knowing if your 360 has broken down or not. Thanks. Stories welcome as well.
