just based off your sample, that's a 25 percent failure rate (2 out of 8), so I have no idea why you bothered to try defending ms here.

This is the kind of post I can really get behind. It's very scientific.
For instance, I bought a PS2 on launch day. It failed 5 minutes after I turned it on. I returned it and no others were available. I never bought another. So, based on my sample, that's a 100% failure rate. I have no idea why anyone would be recommending Sony products as more reliable here.
PS3'S sounds more reliable than a 360 though. i have never heard of any one having their ps3 break more than once while there are loads of poeople who have had their 360's break more than 3 times let alone once.

Failure rate figures for the xbox say anywhere from about 25% to over 50%. And Im sure they won't officially admit a figure until it they've got it way down, 1 in 10 would probably be their hope for number at this point because it would make it closer to reports for PS3.
But from personal experience, my brother bought one..didn't like it enough so he gave it to me to mess around with until he wants it back. So far I've experience screen freezes in various games, which if you read about them seems to suggest that they are lead in to the RROD error. It's a new Jasper unit, only 3 months old...and yeah Im a bit pissed they lowered the price on them 100 bucks then offer a 50 dollar mail in rebate only 2 months after the brother bought it. In fact Im trying to see if MS or the retailer that sold it will offer some games or live subscription cards to make up for the fact that it's worth 100-150 less now than it was a month ago.
I have one friend who hasn't had any problems with his xbox 360, but has recently had his PS3 die on him...they want something like 100-150 bucks to repair it. I told em to give it to me and I'd try to figure it out if he ain't gonna take em up on the offer, we'll see. As for other friends, I don't know who has what anymore...people are too busy worrying about other stuff to talk about their game consoles.
And Wii, I got some family who own em, most I've heard about em is people bust stuff with the controllers never heard of em failing.
But I'd say Xbox having a 1 in 10 failure rate in warranty is probably what MS is shooting for. And outside of warranty, they probably don't care...and it's probably going to come up closer to 30-50% range.
360 failure rate was below 40% even with RROD. Jasper failures are pratically non existant......now the main cause for 360 failure is drive read errors. PS3 failure is somewhere around 11% wii is under 3% for first 2 years of ownership
PS3 failure is somewhere around 11%
You are a joke.
It's a bit higher then that. Like the 360 the first edition PS3's fail a goo bit as well.
Read the post I was replying too, since clearly you either did not, or you simply lack comprehension skills.
My 60GB PS3 is going strong.
With some of the bundles MS sells for the 360, I have a deep longing to buy one. Unfortunately, all of the RROD publicity combined with the fact that you have to pay a monthly fee for the gold service always kills the urge before I make the purchase.

you can whinge all day on a forum and achieve NOTHING
or you could get your shit together and class action their ass
but i know no one will, MS knows no one will, as for as they are concerned the RRoD makes sales, so enjoy your RRoD

It's kinda sad that the wii is the most stable.

The problem is that it's not just MS. The PS3 fails left and right as well.
PS3'S sounds more reliable than a 360 though. i have never heard of any one having their ps3 break more than once while there are loads of poeople who have had their 360's break more than 3 times let alone once.
They've been sued any number of times in class action suits over this and disc scratching. The lawsuits never got anywhere. They were sued well before they eventually extended the warranty (both the first and the second time).MS was about to get sued in a class action suit before they fessed up to RROD and extended the warranty.
sounds is about it.........I have had 2 slim models that will not properly display 1080p on my display. my 360's on the other hand have no issues.......
Fried 2 PS3's, no 360 problems.
Also, MS extended their warranty, Sony, well.... you pay 150 bucks for them to fix it.
