Failure to admit to a 59% failure rate, selling something that dies so often for that price should not be legal.

Come on, we both know that the 360 doesn't have a 59% failure rate. No product could possibly survive if that were truly the case. Why this number continues to be bandied about, I may never understand.

I agree with you about Rare, though. Quite sad.

No, I haven't played Viva Pinata, and no, I don't think that means I'm not allowed to have an opinion about Rare.

Thats like saying "I think Rare has made poor titles after Blast Corps" then saying you never played Goldeneye, or Banjo Kazooie.

It's more like saying "I think Rare has made poor titles after Blast Corps" having never played those games, but having read reviews, seen footage in kiosks, and heard plenty of discussion at gaming forums about those games. I never said my opinion had to carry much weight though.

And you're seriously kidding yourself if you (not directed at mrstickball) think an internet poll is going to give an accurate representation of hardware failure rates. People whose hardware has failed are many times more likely to respond, plus I could go there right now, having never owned a 360, and say I've had "more than 10" of them fail on me.

I worked in a retail store when the 360 launched and for several months thereafter. I was part of the computer repair team that also handled testing of components that customers wanted to return (like broken gaming consoles). I have in fact seen dead 360s, but if the failure rate was anywhere near 60%, we'd have known about it.
