Nice, professional responsibility at it's best. This is the kind of news you get from companies or site ran by morons for morons.

Tho you can be a pain in the ass Why Dis... that actually made me rofl! Awesome video XD

@Jokesonyou: It's not Sony's fault that Xbox 360s keep dying. =/

@Why dis: ROFL that was funny as hell.

Thanks Why Dis, this made my day along enjoyed greatly please find more of these.

you missed the point, I'm not saying its sony fault, in fact I'm glad gamers complained and sites/media reported those complaints so micro was basicly forced to respond with the warranty. Now what Iam saying is its fair to suggest that they did fix everyone's RROD for free unlike sony and based on the complaints/reports we see now vs when 360 first launched they have indeed reduced the failure rate significantly, sure there will always be some that fail, with launch 360's being the most prone to failure but unless you have a link with evidence of a ongoing high failure rate then I don't see why the 360 isn't a good gaming choice....for gamers of course.

JOY

Hey, I posted that video on here today, Why Dis!

THE XBOX SUCKS!

JokesOnYou

PS2 wasn't near the failure rate of 33% like 360 was reported to be.

@1.4

lol why dis. that`s a fu king piece of video

Ask yourself.

Why So Serious?

LOL.

to cayal- sony never reported the actual failure rate of earlier ps2's

what i find interesting about this story is this and ill quote it-- "Last week, a nation mourned over the loss of IGN's last launch Xbox 360. Microsoft felt their pain. Following their obituary, Microsoft sent its condolences, accompanied by some lovely flowers. The mega-corporation also provided a coffin for their dearly departed 360. "

they said microsoft sent them a coffin for their LAUNCH 360, did anyone read that?

thought you sonyboys said microsoft wouldn't fix launch rrod consoles anymore.....seems you guys were wrong yet AGAIN.

like i said before and got slammed with disagrees and BS from the sonyfans on here....microsoft doesn't want anymore issues with this, they don't ask you anything but for ya mailing info so they can send you a box.

THEY WILL NOT REFUSE YOUR REPAIR. IF THEY DO THEY RISK ANOTHER LAWSUIT, AND THEY DON'T WANT THAT, OR MORE BAD PRESS FROM A CONSUMER ABOUT THIS ISSUE (RROD)

back to jokesonyou, man i knew rrod story was coming, you wanna know why man, because vgchartz just released estimates that shows ps3 got beat bad in jan. i know its sad for these sonyfanboys to do this, but they do it everytime, hell they're more predictable then anyone.

also they're mad about that the gameinformer review, they think 8.75 is slander to their killzone 2. hahahahahahahah

The PS2 had issues, they are resolved, and its still around in 2009. If you want to cry about DRE, take a time machine.

The PS3, sony's third game system also has a very low failure rate. Which would be what you would use to compare, NOT the PS2. OR even better yet, Microsofts first foray into consoles, thier BULLETPROOF Xbox1. Ask me how many 360's i've had die on me, then ask my how many Xbox1's. Ill give you a hint, Im still on my FIRST Xbox1.

Microsoft rushed hardware, RROD is what happens when you overlook simple things. The pS2 even today has a lower failure rate than Microsoft's 360, as does the PS3. I'm not sure how many times this needs to be repeated.

I understand that in some desperate way to make yourself not look like an idiot by playing the RROD coffin game(which I played three times, another hint). But the reality snaps that right out of you. You're trying to say that ALL hardware has problems, and you use a very extinct example which only makes the 360 look worse since the PS2 is still playable in 2009. To try to say that Sony does the same thing. They dont. The 360 has a very ABNORMAL failure rate.

THe PS3 is bullet proof hardware with a normal failure rate. The PS2 is bullet proof hardware with a normal failure rate. The PSP is bullet proof hardware with a normal yet crackable screen -failure rate. The Xbox one was bullet proof hardware with a normal failure rate. The 360 is terrible when it comes to hardware reliability. You know it, and everyone else does as well. Honestly, think next time. 360's are still dying, PS2's aren't. Its what it is, but you absolutely can't justify anything with its horrible failure rates.

Seriously, the PS2? That has to be at the bottom of the excuse bag. You're an Ok guy, but clueless about gamers.

I agree with majorsuave.That video Power of Green..err Why dis posted is not even funny.We are talking about video game consoles here,stay on topic LOL.

Would never given my Xbox 360 a funeral if it died, Its either the way to the dump och on its way to the revival center.

This just in... M$oft is apologizing for there stupid broken piece of sh*t that doesn't do sh*t because it's f*cken broken. Say they're going to extend their warranty another three years bringing it to just shy of a decade. M$, ha just trying to please them customers.

Actually, I rolled my eyes and said, 'yeah, nothing new to see here'.

Good gravy, if I had a funeral for ever 360 I lost I would be in debt up to my ears. lol

Here's a good one too:

Seems you guys should just get a room and wank either other off. Stop the hate man, this article has nothing to do with Sony and yet you two tools feel the need to bring this up. Fact is that was freaking 7-8 years ago and this problem is NOW. Stop being such tools and just admit that this CURRENT problem is not acceptable in TODAY'S times. If the Ps3 had this level of failure it wouldn't have survived so stop the BS already.

My PS2 stopped working after 4.5 years... and it was played like crazy sometimes on for a whole day. What's he whining about?

Is it me or did IGN just admited to accepting bribes from MS?

Oh...IGN what were u thinking...

Come on dude, there was never anywhere near as many broken PS2s as there are 360s. Failure rates on PS2 systems were normal. The same can't be said about the 360. 360 failure rates are a JOKE, and will continue to plague these forums and comments section until the problem is fully resolved and it stops happening!

are you serious? ps2 failure rate was not near normal, its not as bad as the 360 problem but it was bad, i went through 6 ps2 consoles, 1 started scratching discs and the other 5 stopped reading discs.
