Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt you debate, I just want to add 1 small point, and leave you two alone again.

I got my 360 in January 2007, it broke many times, and after I replaced it for a 3rd time, about a month after my 3 year warrenty expired, they gave me an HDMI model 360. It's only been 6 months, but so far not a single problem, not a single freeze. However MS replaced my 360 twice with the original non-HDMI model 360, and all 3 units broke (one unit they returned to me came defective to be fair, it wouldn't play games online), and I had to really yell at them to get an HDMI model. I bet a significant portion of people still have a non-HDMI model replacement, which is bound to break in a year or two.

Also reliabilty figures for current gen consoles. Original non HDMI 360's 35% failure rate. HDMI 360, 2.5% failure rate. Slim 360, unknown failure rate. Original PS3 3.5% failure rate, Slim Model PS3 2% failure rate. Wii - 0.2% lifetime failure rate (but I've read the repair rate for a bad disk drive was 2-5%). So 360 is the worst, but outside the original model, its not that bad.

I won't interrupt again, have fun.

keep taking the numbers out of your ass

the debate was whether the failure rate of 360 and PS3 were anywhere near

you could have sumed it up in a couple of lines but what you did is not needed
