Failure rate of 54.2 percent, WOW....

The 360 has a failure right this high. This is pretty high IMO. For the future I hope they really get this ironed out.

I really dont think they want to FF

The media could've put alot of pressure on M$ about this but dropped the ball.

As it stands people continued to buy the console in spite of this news

As long as they're still fixing them for free, it's their problem IMO. Yeah it sucks to have to send one in for repairs, but it's their man hours and their materials going to fix the systems... if they can keep their collective head above water while having to fix over half of their consoles, that's quite remarkable. I'm sure they probably want to fix the issues, but when you're already made millions of unreliable consoles that are still on shelves and when it would cost X amount of R&D money and probably additional for materials that aren't prone to failure, I can't say I blame them for just giving a nice warranty and taking it as it goes. They already tried the Jasper units and those apparently are still having problems (though less than the original systems), so why would they spend more time/money trying to fix it when the system is almost 4 years old?

Saw this and was going to post it, but I figured why bother.

It's a poll of 5,000 people. I'm sure it's not that far off the mark, but still, 5,000 people? That's not even 1% of their userbase.
