| friedtofu said: I cant wait a month for my Xbox to return sooooooo I decided to order a new Xbox 360 Arcade Unit from Amazon. It comes with the free Beautiful Katamari and Viva Pinata (cool!). Plus I think most of the new Arcade units have hdmi and new 65nm cpu. Should get here by the end of the week. I already have a hard drive so it seems like the best choice eh? |
You're getting Viva Pinata: Party Animals. Not Viva Pinata. There's a big difference -- your Arcade Xbox comes with the shitty one.
MS never admitted to any hardware failure rate. Not 3-5%, nothing. USA Today doesn't know how to quote, and so they replaced Microsoft's PR quote of "not outside of normal bounds" to be "less than 3-5%".
The 360 failure rate is well north of 50%. There's no way it's less than that. If you look at even a reasonable sample size, you'll find very few people with Xbox 360s more than 18 months old and many (if not most) moderately used Xbox 360s seem to fail within 12 months. A disappointing amount fail within a month (brand new these days).
