One of the major issues that has come up in recent years is the electronics industry's move to lead free. Some companies have experienced problems converting over, reliability issues* are common place for the 360, with plenty of talk of solder issues. What you have to remember is that no one will give you a 100% guarantee that something won't fail, you've just been very unlucky with your 360's. Although i do blame MS for trying to ignore the failure rates, they should have given a lifetime warranty on the RROD as 3 years is just not long enough imo.
*My own company has had a couple of issues switching over to lead free.
