lolololol

But the statement it says is true, the Xbox 360 does have a failure rate of 16%, a bit higher then most consoles. I don't see how it's THAT big of a deal, sure 16% of all the 360's out there fail, but it takes all of a week or two to get a whole brand new one.

All of my friends that have 360's have had them since launch, kept them in open, non closed off areas, away from dust, like you really should. And they've had no heating problems at all.

does this RROD thing never die?

why are fanboys still making a big deal out of it?
Simply because there are gamers out there that are still having problems with their xbox360s.

I got 3 xbox360 (jap,usa and Pal)

the jap was manufactured in 2005, no problem at all works like a charm, also i keep them in well ventilated area

In hardware failure yes the 360 is the worst. But in other stuff like games the 360 is really good.

;-D
;-D
;-D

I'm saying nothing! ;-D

i think yahoo is mad at microsoft for the buyout fiasco...

yep.

Can't believe people still buy this rubbish???

in reliability yes it is the worst console, in terms of games its really good (just give me more genre variety MS) hopefull i should be receiving my 360 back from their repair center soon, and ill tell you this much...... ill be playing it like mad because i know they give you a year warranty once returned, so if its to break again i hope its before that one year is up.

and yahoo is one of the most visted websties

this Sept-Dec should be real interesting

funny stuff

3 360's playboy, i guess that justifies my comment over in the gamerzone......

damn this thing is such an embarrassment for M$

SERIOUSLY - is there any need to change the title of the story for anything OTHER than to cause a flame fest?

very embarrasing for microsoft.

And you BERSERK PIGS continue to buy this piece of TRASH!
You CREATURES are an embarrassment!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

last time i checked a ring is a circle so what is it called a red ring of death if its 3/4 a circle? any who cant wait till april 29th

I still have my launch Xbox 360 and I have an elite no problems at all and all of my family members have 360's about 8 360's
no problems
You people should really quit being anti 360

im a ps3 owner, i dont think bill gates planned for the xbox 2 hav a high defect rate, nothins perfect, i was tempted 2 get an xbox but im glad i waited 4 the ps3.
ive written numerous comments slaggin the xbox off but the more i think about it "the xbox is here 2 stay". in all walks of life there has been competition and its very rare the 1 of them completely dies off, people will still bad mouth the ps3 just like they will the xbox in years 2 cum, nothins gonna change!!! move on

I've had a launch console with no issues what so ever.

The word failure is synonomous with Xbox 360. Microsoft has made such a poor hardware design, it has resulted in pickett fences of angry Microslaves who look to abandon their beloved platform for the vastly superior PLAYSTATION® 3.

Anyone who still says they have a working XBOX 360 since launch or any 360 that has lasted over two years is plain delusional and is a liar to defend the slave company known as Microsoft.

$niper

Not many people can afford to buy multiple consoles, let alone the same one, so going to buy a 2nd, or 3rd 360 is just not an option for me.... i wish i felt comfortable in buying a 360 but i don't... i know my Wii and PS3 will work till the next gen comes out... and unless MS sends me a free 360 or i suddenly win the lottery... until then i won't buy a 360...only when i have $$$$$ to waste would i go buy one..

PS
Note to all fanboys...congratulations u bought a ps3/xbox360...please leave the rrod alone and anything about the ps3 alone...they are both the same....until your ps3/360 makes u waffles in the morning then u have something to brag about...

I don't know one person who had a problem with his 360. I have problems 5 times.
Do somebody know someone with 360 with no problems?

... I guess we are still talking about this.

So .. how about the election ??

I can see why! :) Go yahoo! Go yahoo! This is the dead TRUTH!

This is so freakin funny. I am so glad that I never purchased a 360 LMAOROFL

I bet the ps1 and ps2 went through higher failure rates than the 360. my little brother went through 4 ps2s and I had 3 ps1's ( never had a ps2 ) The ps1 & ps2 disc drives were really really bad .Thank god some1 figured out about adjusting the little white dial in the ps2 to help with the disc read problems

It matters not which PS3 you are using. Once you get your system all that matters is your user i.d name and password. After signing in you simply go to the PSN store review a list of all the downloads that you have ever done and re-download them. But they will be there. This is one reason why i have not had to upgraded my hdd as yet.

you could fix the PS2 yourself. All you had to do was turn the wheel inside the machine. I doubt it was anything close to 16-33% fail rate on the PS2

Ahh - it's fun to come back to these comments and see how poorly many aged. We all know now the red ring of death (RRoD) was one of Microsoft's biggest and most expensive blunders! Sony won that one easily.
