the modchip itself doesnt cause the laser to burn out, but i read somewhere that playing some ripped games force the laser to read slower or faster then its supposed to which causes it to eventually (after a year or 2) burn out. so i guess it depends how many pirated games you use, if you use alot then the money you save on games will mean you can just buy a new xbox eventually.

When I play games using the mod-chip capabilities (this is what scares MS), I tend to play them right off the hard drive, because they've been downloading from various places and ftp'd to the machine.
OTOH- you can replace the POS dvd-rom that can't read burned media (except for cd-rw's) with whatever dvd drive you want, so I don't see why that would necessitate replacing the whole xbox.
FWIW- Microsoft has admitted that some of the xboxes they shipped had faulty dvd drives and has recalled them, you can find more info on www.xbox.com
