I think that mine's got several years left in it. I wouldn't have said that a few years ago, based on the performance of the original Xbox I got, but these days, it seems like the red ring of death thing has been minimized and the systems are built a little better, so I have no reservation that with great care and proper cooling that the system will last quite awhile longer. Hopefully, until the price of the Xbox ONe starts to come down a little, lol.
