The thing is that the failure rate of the 360 always drove me away from buying one. And I don't think it's ok for a company to offer such kind of unstable product. So those who think we should stop being concerned by that problem are not aware that it obviously affects the 360 sales.

This.

I almost bought a xbox 360 when gears of war 2 came out, but it's the thought of almost inevitable RROD ticked me off. I wouldn't mind owning a xbox 360 if its more reliable, 3 months free subscription < send the console at my own expense (?) and wait for days unable to play it, imo.

I felt the same way.  The RROD is the lone thing that has kept me from owning a 360.  I'd love to play many of the exclusives, but working in quality assurance myself, I refuse to reward poor quality control with my consumer dollars.  My company has a return rate of less than 1/10 of 1% for our products.
