My basic 20GB model still works after a year of heavy use, though I get a power failure (one red segment) unless I reset the console once as it boots up. I consistently get the disc read error at a specific point in Assassin's Creed and having replaced the game and still getting the error it's likely to be the console at fault rather than the disc, though apparently lots of people get the error at the same exact point in the game, which almost suggests a dodgy batch of discs. I've one more thing to try before I give up on the game (at least until the console has to be repaired/replaced), but it's the only game I've had trouble with.
It does pump out a lot of heat so your model must be much improved in that respect. Overheating was supposed to be part of the problem with the RRoD so it makes sense.
