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.
