The first sign of fail was when Microsoft discontinued original xbox games.

To keep this short, I purchased my Xbox 360 in June of 2006 and have had problems with it starting in the summer of 2008. Just by moving the system while a disk is spinning, large circular scratches appear on the disk rendering the game unplayable; The disk tray jams often; and finally, I was not too impressed with its graphics capabilities. However, even though it is overrated, I would recommend purchasing a newer version of the Xbox 360. There are more overrated games than underrated games: so choose wisely based on reviews.
