My region, maybe I'll pick up a 360 soon. How is the reliability now?

Microsoft used to impose worldwide price cuts, but have now given responsibility for different regions to decide pricing themselves. The weak dollar has helped bring the price down in Europe and Asia, but won't help with a US price cut.

360 has about 7-10% failure rates from FALCON. Very good if you compare it with XENON 30%.

My opinion is to wait until Jasper chip is out in august (GPU and CPU 65 nm). The failure rates will reduced to nil!!!

Thanks, that's not too bad. The only reason I worry is that 360 isn't released here, the shops import them from Korea, but if it fails it's a lot of hassle. If I could simply send it back to MS it wouldn't be a problem.
