"Out of the 12 Xbox 360s I own as part of my business, 9 have failed."
From a media reports:
"... the problem isn’t just with launch units. Of the 8 I’ve had so far, only 2 were manufactured in the first three months of launch. The last one I had red-ring on me was manufactured in November of ‘06 - a full year after launch."
8 console fails within a year is simply amazing, if you deduct the time the console couldn't be used at all even more so. IMO on average an expensive console like this should last at least 5 years on average.
