Also, take a look at the engadget poll:
| Perfect, and my avatar is sooo sexy. | |
|---|---|
| Maybe it was glitchy a bit, I dunno, I need to get back to Fallout 3. | |
| Pretty buggy but no showstoppers. | |
| Tons of freezing, but hasn't died yet. | |
| Red ring'd a bit, now it's back. I'm scared. | |
| Bricked but Microsoft is picking up the tab. | |
| Bricked and Microsoft said "die in a fire," charging $100. | |
| This question doesn't apply to me, I just like messing with poll results. |
According to that, 6.5% of readers encountered a RRoD issue. That doesn't seem like a big scary number but you also know for a fact that fanboys will be fanboys and will pick the Bricked and Microsoft said "die in a fire," charging $100 option just because they can.
So lets just assume that number is actually more along the lines of 3%, still not a really scary number. But wait, if they are charged $100 that means their warranty has expired. If that's the case, they have a launch console where people love to say those have a %60 fail rate.
That puts that number closer to something around 1.2%.
So that's 4% of the readers encountered the RRoD. 4% of 23 million isn't a widespread issue. That's even assuming the fanboys didn't pick one of the other RRoD options.
