Take the poll so we know.
I started getting a lot of disc read errors around the beginning of 2003, by June it was getting really annoying( I got XBOX in December 2001) So it lasted about 1.5 years. Thankfully I got the warrenty and brought it back and now I have a new good one!
got my xbox first week it came out and just recently had to get a new one. started to get noises when it tried to load and always getting disc may be damaged or dirty. but most of it was always scratching my disc's.
I've had mine since launch day. It never completely failed. I did get a couple DDE's, but I cleaned the lense with my friends Pioneer DVD cleaner, and they stopped. I guess you do have to do maintenance from time to time. The only weird thing I noticed that was on WWE Raw2, after about 2 hours of usage, and only on that game the sound jitters. But after a reboot, everything is ok.
But I've never had a mass failure.
well it looks like a majority are pretty good. The last xbox I had was failing so bad, it took 30 minutes to start game. Than say I was playing Halo, after every level I had to reboot system because of system lookup. Give the poll time. I suspect alot of people with Tomsons haven't voted yet. I might be wrong.
My Thompson has not been working for a few months. It takes around 30 seconds for it to read a game, and it overheats quickly.
I got mine on the laubch date, so about 2 years. Mine crapped out about 2 weeks ago, I sent for it to get fixed. Hopefully it will come soon so I can play GTA and XII (I won this at the XBL contest, ut it still hasn't arrived.)

Is Thompson the DVD drive the xbox came with on the first week? Because if it is, mine broke after less than a year.
Had mine about 2 years, no problems at all.
ive had it for 2+ years....ive got an orginal....
a few DDE's here and there...no big one
1 year and 3 months, then I got DDEs
My Thompson went out about a week after the one year warranty. It was slowly going out for about a month too.
Still Alive!!! Woot!!
16-7, something tells me this whole Thomson thing was overplayed...
I bought mine on Monday, but as soon as it starts acting up, I'm not cleaning it or opening it, I'm taking it back asap.
It never really "lasted." I've had problems with it from the start--problems which have only gotten progressively worse.
For the amount of time I've had mine (I think 2 years), I haven't had one problem or one freeze up. I guess I'm either extremely lucky or my cleaning it every week is actually doing something.

Some DDE.. but no big deal.
Back into the world of gaming.
Used to suck but once it got fixed (for free, gotta love microsoft) its been great.
