The OG Xbox was the most reliable for me, never had a single hardware issue with mine for the longest time until recently when I assume that a capacitor must've died and leaked all over the motherboard as it won't even turn on anymore.
Played so many demos on 360 and had fun gaming online with Halo 3 all the time. Also, had a few red ring on me before I got to the one I have now that still works fine.
I've no idea at the moment, but as for what my points have been going towards. I have it setup so when I reach a certain threshold my points are then donated to Cancer research UK.
@TheMervinMan I have a whole separate issue where I'm not being given the offer at all. This is despite having a Microsoft account and having been subbed before.
