Unfortunately with the Xbox 360 that is NOT the case. The newer models that are coming along are more reliable as they run cooler (smaller chips means less electricity going through the console). I got one at launch and it was very noisy and ran very hot. Recently I bought a new one which I was happy to find had had the new Falcon chipset (look it up on Google) and it runs very quiet and a bit quieter than the one I bought at launch.
The Xbox 360, despite being great for playing, has the most unreliable hardware ever in a gaming console. Make sure you don't get an old unreliable one!
