A warranty firm did a survey on over 15,000 consoles it directly serviced and put the failure rate at 24%. A far, far cry from the 54% or whatever the Game Informer poll showed. And of course, these were early consoles. They released this survey in 2009. They also did tests on 500 consoles bought in 2009 and 1% got the RROD.

It's a silly conspiracy theory.

Lolwut....

Links or are you being needlessly sarcastic?

Very interesting although two things:

1) "Microsoft’s policy may result in an underreporting of failures by Xbox 360 owners to SquareTrade, relative to the other two consoles. Because the RROD problem is so widely known to be covered by Microsoft’s warranty, we believe that more customers bypass SquareTrade and reported failures directly to the Microsoft. In a survey of SquareTrade customers with Xbox 360s conducted by email, SquareTrade found that over half of our customers who experienced a RROD error reported their problem directly to Microsoft without contacting SquareTrade."

2) MS Warranty extends for a year past SquareTrades own warranty, meaning that many failures could go unreported. 

Still, by all means, I think it's safe to assume a failure rate somewhere inbetween 25-50% which is still fucking terrible to be blunt. Nevertheless good find by you.
