E-74 was never anywhere near as common as the RRoD was.
Yet it's common:

Mike B , what about the yellow light of death. Does Sony extended the warranty???
IMO the United Stated should up default warranty for consumer electronics up to 3 years, like is the case for the EU.
Of course this overheating problem is relatively far less common:

The PS3 seems to endure mainly 2 far more rare (compared to RRoD, E-74 and disc scratching) hardware failures. 1) Overheating, mostly with regard to old units 2) drive failure seems to be affecting mainly newer units (maybe up to 50% of cases, just a dirty lens)
I am sure Wiis have failed as well, but IMO the 360 situation is extra-ordinary.
