Mine... My Xbox 360 slim only costed 129 euro back in 2012 and to this day still work like brand new, you would think that the disc drive would stop working but no. Never had the need of open it or clean it's insides. Still great, I just don't use it anymore since I feel it's outdated and loading speeds are better nowadays.

The gf made fun of me at first for using it, but now she does too, especially as she likes to take off her shoes without untying them. ๐Ÿ˜’

She brought home a metal one a while ago after our long plastice one broke, but this one already bent somehow. I keep bending it back, but it must be made of the cheapest metal possible because it keeps bending again. Still works, just looks stupid. I'll have to ask for a quality one for Christmas. It does make me feel rather gentlemanly when I put on my work boots!

Ecco sells metal shoehorns that are a) cheapish b) nigh indestructible and c) long. It's honestly surprising how massive those things are. Could club a burglar to death with one and not dent it.

Nice, that meets my requirements!
