Mine... My Xbox 360 slim only costed 129 euro back in 2012 and to this day still work like brand new, you would think that the disc drive would stop working but no. Never had the need of open it or clean it's insides. Still great, I just don't use it anymore since I feel it's outdated and loading speeds are better nowadays.

yeah, idk if i would considering the whole being alive thing worthwhile. But it's definitely a cost tradeoff, that's for sure.

Is what it is at the end of the day i suppose.
