And everyone I know that has one is very happy with it (now).
Notice the 'now' in brackets. So they did have problems then? And everyone I know who has one has had the power supply and cooling problems.
The non backwards compatibility of the first Xbox games was a killer. I think Microsoft wanted to change the hardware of the 360 to make it less of a generic PC for the purposes of thwarting reverse engineering and modding. Lesson for consumers? As a current customer Microsoft will shaft you in favour of the 'next big thing'.
But if I ever considered getting one, I'd wait at least until this Xmas for the 2nd round of games.
Christmas has been and gone, and next Christmas it will be something else.
