Seriously, 54%, that's insane....
Microsoft should stick to software.

I don't think it was incompetence. I believe the problem was rush-to-market. Look at the original Xbox, did it have such a failure rate, I don't think so...

I'd agree that it's not institutional incompetence on their part, but I'm not sure that disregarding a known problem isn't worse than outright incompetence.

Oh well. That three year warranty helps me sleep at night!
