i've got one of the newer ones. no red ring of death yet.
the early versions were terrible. hardware failures all the time. but microsoft actually did the right thing and extended the warranty on them for like 6 years or something. you just send them back and they send you a brand new/refurbished one. usually takes like two weeks. but hey. its better than saying you crap outta luck.

some way some how microsoft is trying to do the right thing and i am amazed. not many gaming companies do that these days. EA being one i can think of off the top of my head. they have had to be the worst game publisher of the past two years. constantly dishing out broken\unfinished\deceptive (saying features are in the game that arnt or dont work) games all year. they have some good ones this year. but over all awful. and i was an EA fanboy for ever.
