Why don't they just fix the defective ones for free?
kenta said:Microsoft is really lucky they've had such great third-party support with the 360 and managed to build a solid library of games, that's all I'm going to say
Dante said:Agreed, launching first is the way to go.

lupin23rd said:Guys, there is only one question that needs to be asked at this point.
Anybody's Elite failed yet?

Oni Jazar said:Just ask the Dreamcast.
Valkyr Junkie said:Someone here bought an elite that was DOA, and I've seen at least one other dead one on another forum. Epoxying all the components down isn't much of a fix.

Why there's no way? We already know the console has a design fault that make the gpu pins pop out, so why there's no way someone could create an hardware with such a fault rate?Barnolde said:40% of 10 million is 4 million, there's no way it's that high. It's probably 10-15% tops.

Ristamar said:My friend/co-worker recently had his 360 overheat. He sent it in for repairs, and when he got it back, the disc tray was broken or jammed, thus he had send it back again.
Pakkidis said:Just out of curiosity, does anybody know the failure rate? What evidence is their to back it up?

Honorable Mention: sado | AggravatedGamers x 11. I'm not including you in the main list, as I suspect you live above a black hole or something.
437 dead consoles, 14 on life support. 359 individual posters. Any incorrect info, let me know.
I can't believe arne is on the list! Just to remind, I don't include "my brother/friend/etc." on the list. This is for NeoGAFers only, so we can have some minor semblance of percentages. I also don't include HDD failures, that's a separate issue.
Speevy said:My console was replaced in a very timely manner. It took a little time to get those MS Points back, though.
Vrolokus said:That's not even VG Cats-level funny.
This annoys me so much.Mojovonio said:Arne has to tow the line on this one, so don't expect anything new from him.
There was a magazine article a while back that had the failure rate at, I think it was 40%.
Well, after transferring to a new system, you can't access your arcade content unless you're signed on, which can be a hassle for some people. If you call up MS and bitch enough, they'll refund the amount of points required to rebuy your arcade stuff.Bebpo said:I've never heard why people have to get their MS Points back.
Don't you just recover your profile on your new system and it'll give you access to everything you've bought and you'll still have your leftover points show up?
I use the same account between my US and JPN X360 and I can transfer XBLA games and DLC no problem.
StevieP said:$6 manufacturing costs ftw. Petah knows how to dance!
Wii too said:While 3-5% seems high, I wonder what PS2's failure rate was. I only bring this up because I bought the system at launch, it broke a year later, then I got a free replacement which took two years to break. Bought a slim line, that also broke after a year. Finally, with my silver slim PS2, I'm having good luck. I've kept all my systems in great shape and haven't mistreated them.
.
Kintaro said:All I know is, once my Xbox unit dies (and it's slowly getting there with the amount of times this thing locks up on games. Any games.) I will call whatever customer service line it is to call up and talk it over with them for a replacement. If I can't manage to get a free replacement, I'll just be without a 360 for the rest of the gen.
When my launch PS2 continues to work like a charm without a problem, and my year old 360 is dying, that doesn't cut it.
Thoren said:There's absolutely no way the Xbox 360 failure rates are that low. Almost everybody I know has had their Xbox 360 die, and I'm afraid I'll be next.
DaCocoBrova said:All the evidence I need tbh.
That's going to be very difficult for a lot of people here. Not because they're blind fanboys but because the software lineup is so good, especially in 2007.1-D_FTW said:I wish people would just boycott the machine and FORCE them to fix this. .
:lol :lol Im in tears here man. Gaf f**** delivers. Yarr hahahahajunkwaffle said:
DaCocoBrova said:It's a non-issue if you're aware of their shoddyness from the beginning. Just get a warranty and get your gaming on.
