I got one of the very first 360's, never had an issue, so I cant see it really being a design flaw, more so occasional individual flaws in the circuit board, or more probably, the power supply.
I can tell you though, I used to work at an electronics factory, they have around 20% tollerance for the part on the pad (ie a resistor, capacitor etc), 205 can make a big diff, so Im sure (especially after temperature changes) some are going to have problems.
MS will sort it (or they should) so you should be all set :-)

I know I just ran into some trouble though! I get my box with my repaired 360 from the UPS store today, and when I picked it up it seemed very light! So when I went to my car I opened it ASAP! When I opened it to my surprise I found... a prepaid shipping label a plastic bag! I was like WTF! I went right back into the UPS store to see if there was another box for me in case they send 2 or something there wasn't! I then called 1-800-4my-xbox, I was on hold for 2 hours when I remembered I had a supervisors extension! The supervisor isn't available today so I will call back tomorrow! I don't know what to do!

Zippy is right, dont worry too much
same thing happened to me from a company, I received an empty box.
Its a case of tacing it back to packing and find out what happened.
Unfortunately, sometimes companies have items that "go missing" sometimes its geuine, (sometimes not)
either way, I pretty much doubt you will suffer for it. It may take a while though. It happened with a samsung mp3 player I sent back because oit was broken, they claimed to send a replacement, I got an empty box. Took 5 months to sort out, but ended up with a better player.

Sadly I'd have the empty box I can use than a poorly repaired RMA...I have had a few of thos..not a 360...but mobos,cards and such.

So I called M$ today to speech with a supervisor about it and he said he doesn't appreciate people trying to scam them! Then I was pissed! I said ok look the weight on the UPS label it says 1lb the XBOX weighs more than 1 pound! Right? "I am sorry there is nothing we can do" "No you can send me my XBOX back" Just go online and look at UPS.com and you'll see that there was nothing inside the box that weighed more than 1lb when it was dropped off" "I am sorry there is nothing I can do!" "You'll be hearing from human resources shortly"
So that is were I am at now!

Anger is not going to get you anywhere you need to be polite.
and call them and check with every supervisor you can this is on them because they shipped a empty box.
BTW if its not to late call UPS and see if they can start a claim hell they can charge MS for it I doubt it but at least they might can ofer some help getting that info to MS.

I can understand your anger but like zippy said, it wont get you anywhere. Personally I would have politely asked to speak to a manager. The supervisor was out of order with his/her attitude. If you had asked for their name/department then asked to speak with a manager, they would have seen you were serious and not a scammer.
IT DOES happen, empty boxes do get shipped, happened to me. They questioned me at Samsung too, but I persisted (scammers very often will not persist, theyre oportunist) you have to understand that its really easy for someone to say "I got an empty box". although it does get you angry, its your word against theirs, so you have to try get to the bottom of it.
It can be sorted out, just persist and be calm, speak to the manager when you call. Explain what happened.

oh boy... i have the nykon cooler on one of my two 360s... for like 2 months now no problems... maybe i should be scared, but it's been fine so far.
i was thinking of getting it for my 2nd xbox 360 cuz it's on a entertainment center shelf that gets damn hot...
unless there's a mod to use computer case fans... cuz i'd rather do that and put holes to fit 80mm computer case fans in the back of the shelfing... that would be leet.

Yup, got a whisper in mine, and theyre much more efficient. Also, if you dont wanna open up your case, get an intec glow stand can get it from amazon and many other places such as ebay etc. VERY nice fan, uses its own power http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Glow-Stand-Fan/dp/B000H98C36
I took mine apart and sprayed it black to go with my case:-)

Those fans are actually expensive... i'm sure it'll be $30+ shipped after shipping charges... though I do appreciate it, and it does look sexy.
I have 60mm and 80mm fans of my own... wonder if I can mod them to it. I'm thinking of somehow modding the USB port to power my fans. I have lots of USB cords, and just gotta figure out the wiring... I may do my own mod, but MOUNTING my fans may be my real issue.
Think I can power 2 fans with one USB port?
Also, that Glow Stand and fan @ amazon looks nice... that base has a fan in it?

but there are many 12v spots on the 360 motherboard too, in fact I also modded a 360 by increasing the back fan voltage to 12v. I took a pic if I can find it I'll post it.

plus you dont even need to open the 360 at all to use the fan.

I have just have the worst experiance with customer service for xbox. I had the same thing happen to my console and just got it back. 20 minutes after playing the 3 red flashing lights come back on. I call customer service and I was told it was the power source. They are willing to replace however it going to cost $40 to ship and I am expected to pay for it. This is my issue, I just got the console back. I only bought it 4 months ago so everything is still under warrenty. Why should I have to pay anything because your products keeps breaking down. I have already put well over 1000 into the console between the games and accessories and console. I think there is enough people here to start some type of class action suit against microsoft for continuing to sell a product they know is not working correctly and people who have already purchased one should have the option to return it for a full refund. If any other product you buy for this amount of money breaks down like this w/ in the warrenty we are able to return it and get a new one. Why not this?

if you want to use a cheap device that has a 50% or higher chance to fry a 360 go ahead!
MMEACH
you normally get 30 days to decide if its worth keeping or not,sadly the 360 is so messed up it can go any time in 5 to 50 days,and then after that theres no telling when it will break down.
I keep telling people the new revision is coming a near complete redesign save your money for it don't bun money on a model 1 360!

the new model may not be hackable at first, though... i'm honestly afraid of that, so i picked up my 2nd xbox 360 about a week or two ago... both my 360s are now modded...
i'd rather wait til the new one comes out, and then i can read up on ppl's experience, and wait for a new hack technique... until then, i'm just gonna sit and wait, and use my current systems.
