I'd be more worried about the 360. Those early models, and I think only the early ones were cream, are held together by pritt stick and string. It will die on you.
I get the impression it's a late early cream model that was made soon after the complaints came in about the "ring of death" scandal, and while comparatively noisy with a disc in, it doesn't show signs of breaking down on me just yet. I also don't play it to death for sometimes months on end, no doubt extending it's life.
Also here's an interesting SD.Net
thread on Xbone's
Titanfall and while it confirms my belief that video games have reached a comfortable technological plateau in the past decade or so and become relatively creatively stagnant in terms of scenarios/plots/characters, with FPS blurring into each other for many, many years now, and I'll probably wait for at least two and half years until getting the XBone, this comment kind of got me:

Saint's Row 3 and 4 finally just went off the deep end to stave off the "poor-man's GTA" label and GTA hasn't been worth a shit since pre-GTA4. But the market had no room for two distinct GTA games, or so publishers would believe.
Some marvellous shit if Rockstar generated over a BILLION dollars in sales with
