What is the 360's failure rate? AKA is RROD still a big problem?

I am a manager in the industry, and I can tell you first hand the failure rate I have witnessed, even with the newest SKUs released, is near 40%. You may be lucky enough to not have your 360 die on you, about 60% have never failed. Some brand new systems die after 15 minutes out of the box. Microsoft does have a 3 year warranty to replace your unit with another refurbished unit within about 6-8 weeks after sending your broken unit to them, however this only covers the red ring issue, not other 360 failures that are just as common. Microsoft also does not warranty scratches and laser burns that the 360 commonly causes games to have. There is a class action lawsuit in California against Microsoft for selling lemon game consoles as new, presumably working, units.

Im calling BS on this.

If my internet wasn't so slow I would show you the NeoGaf RROD graphs. Its about the only source of data on the internet thats been compiled anywhere and is available for distribution to people.

Also I have never seen anyone who isn't known to be biased against Microsoft/Xbox 360 post that they've had 17 friends and their dog all had 360s and they all broke down.

I haven't personally seen or known anyone with an Xbox 360 who has had RROD, so anecdotes are everywhere.
