i am really friggin' curious where you got this 3% failure rate. - it is just wrong. ...3%, prfft. I am thinking you work for microsoft to say they have 'acceptable' failure rate. |
Wow! Talk about missing sarcarsm. You did the read the rest where I said that it's good they are fixing the failure problem and that if the 360 can prove reliable I'll finally buy one? That should have been enough context to understand I was sarcastic about the 3% failure rate.
Anyhow, the 3% came from MS themselves. I think it's been modified from a straight 3 to 3-5%. Clearly the problem is far greater than that. I'm not going to argue the exact % simply because no one knows except that it is far higher than 3% as MS claims. Read various gaming sites on a regular basis if you want to know exactly where that came from, I've heard it enough in forums I thought it was common knowledge amongst gamers.
The last comment is almost to funny to reply to, just check out some of my more recent comments from my profile to see how much of a fan I am of MS. In case that's too much work I'll just give a brief summation here, I had an Xbox and liked it well enough, but I like very little about the 360. I don't know why but I'm strange like the Japanese, I expect $400 items to not break within a year. Make it a $250-300 item and cut the breaking to say 3-4 years and I'm sure I'd like the 360 well enough also but not until then. An MS shill I am most certainly not.
