hey I bought a PS2 on launch day way the fuck back when, and it still works to this day just fine.

Thats because the PS1 had so many problems on release they took a little more time with the ps2

thread didnt help, i bought my 360 in charleston sc, i live in norfolk va...so im trying to get ahold of microsoft and yea.

^^ ps2 had tons of hardware problems. i also was lucky with my launch console though.

that said, freezing now and then will lead to constant freezing. this will likely lead to red lights. i thought mine was just being fussy, but it slowly died. i now have a new/refurbished one from MS that works fine.

The freezing is mostly from one of the components overheating. With the 360's, people have generally seen these problems as deteriorating. It seems that each time it overheats, the component in question becomes more damaged until eventually the 360 completely fails. They don't tend to settle out at some "moderately flakey" level. Get it replaced now because it's going to completely die in a month or so anyways.
