There's lots of data that early 360s had problems. There isn't much data that the new ones do. There have been very few complaints since they changed the motherboard and heatsink design. Since everyone's eye is on them though, if there is a new one that has any problems, people on the internet blow it up and post it everywhere.
All in all, this thread is pointless. This is all old news, Joystiq just created another article that people like ferret here are all to happy to post around the internet and bring the same discussion back up.
Might I add, Ferret, all you did was post the entire article and contributed nothing of your own. If you are going to do that, why not just supply the link so Joystiq get's the site traffic.
Thank god for the disable signatures option.
