''In February 2008, during the Game Developers Conference 2008, Microsoft announced that the "Failure rate has officially dropped", but without mentioning any specifics[16]. The same month an examination of 1040 Xbox 360s by SquareTrade found a 16.4% (one in six) failure rate; 171 were "disabled", of these 171 units 60% failed due to a general hardware failure (and thus fell under the 3 year extended warranty) of the remaining 40%, not covered by the extended warranty, 18% were disc read errors, 13% were video card failures, 13% were hard drive freezes, 10% were power issues and 7% were disc tray malfunctions.[17][18]. However SquareTrade also admits that their estimates are likely much lower than reality due to the time span of the sample (six to ten months), the eventual failure of many consoles that did not fail within this time span and the fact that many owners did not deal with SquareTrade and had their consoles repaired directly through Microsoft via the much publicized extended RROD warranty''

As you can see MS has been always saying failure rate has droped but without mentioning any specifics

So there you go a whole year ago the failure rate was about 16.4%
That was before the new chip which would further decrease failure rates :)
So looks like my 5-12% is probably spot on.
Thank you for proving me right.

You really didn't bother yourself to read the whole post? It says 16% OUT OF 1040 Xbox 360s,
''171 were "disabled", of these 171 units 60% failed due to a general hardware failure
That's even worse

umm yeah they tested 1040 xbox to see what the fail rate was and 16% of them failed...so yeah looks like i was right.
Dude get over yourself, RROD is not very widespread any more.
Saying that its above 25% is about as stupid as saying the PS3 has no games...so if you believe that the 360 has a fail rate of above 25% you must still believe that the PS3 has no games.
BOTH of those stupid fanboy beliefs need to die RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!!!
