They should add the following category...

Number of failures after 1st year of ownership that people had to pay for:

360: 0% (prolly around 15-20% actually for people who had the DVD drive die and they didn't want to lie and say its RROD)
PS3: 100%
Wii: 100%

Number of failures after 2st year of ownership that people had to pay for:

360: 0%
PS3: 100%
Wii: 100%

I find it funny that a company that is forced by consumer laws in countries all over the world to implement a warranty extension on their faulty product, gets applauded like it is a good thing. How can this be anything but negative? MS should not be praised for being forced to extend the warranty. They had to do it, you think they did it out of good faith? For you to get your precious system back? I am actually surprised they were allowed to sell the 360 when the failure rate was that high. In my opinion it should've been pulled from the market until they had the error fixed. They basically sold a product with a 30% - 50% chance to break. That should not be legal for any product...

All I know is electronics fail...

Motorolla Razor phone failed on me after 2 years, 3 PS2s failed on me from 2001-2004, my ATI 4650 card failed on me after a year, countless Ipod died within 1-2 years... Anyone that is upset at eletronics failing needs to wake up.

360 failed a lot due to faulty video card chip design. Shit happens...MS did what they had to do to mend the issue the best they could. I don't understand what you'd like them to do.

I believe the options were...give 2 extended warranty...or give hand jobs to all 360 customers that had a failure. I was hoping for the second option but will settle for extended warranty.

You sound like you've had the worst luck when it comes to electronics. You sure you're not carrying some bizzare EMP device with you?
