We are on our 7th Xbox360 in our house. So far, Microsoft has had our xbox in their hands longer than we have, and we've been trying to figure out what we may have possibly been doing to kill it life expectancy.
We have hardwood floors, we use the console vertically, we prop it up on 2 books to maximize air flow, the room is about 70 degrees F, and we have never played a game for more than 4 hours in one sitting, and so far, the longest we have had the 360 working while its in our possession is about 3 weeks.
We just unpackaged another one from being returned to us today and it is already giving us the "3 red lights" again. This is getting rediculous...

All I've got to say is stop wasting your time and money with Microsoft and the Xbox 360 and get a PS3. I've had my PS3 for 11 months and I haven't had one single problem with it.
It's funny because Microsoft thought that they were getting ahead by trying to beat Sony and Nintendo in the console war by releasing the 360 one year earlier, but really they're behind because they can't even make a reliable console. There aren't any hardware problems for either the PS3 or Wii.
Just get a PS3 and your problems will be solved. The Xbox 360 is not worth it. Microsoft really screwed up during this console generation with the 360.

Try buying an elite system and lay your 360 horizontal not vertical.

check your power cables to make sure they arent pumping in too much electricity to fry the system
