Any failure rate above 2% or so is unacceptable. Infact, any failure rate at all is unacceptable.

You pay for a product, you don't expect it to break.

You must be a very disappointed consumer if you expect products to never fail.


No, we aren't. We buy a product for a good use and expect it to last a good while. We don't expect to buy a product and have it DIE on the first day, like what may happen for an X360 model. HD consoles are supposed to be reliable for their cost, but obviously it isn't. You have to do research on a product before buying one. I fell into a trap when I bought a Toshiba laptop. I experienced first-hand when I had that thing die on me for my second year. Their laptops are pieces of shit, hence why they are called Toshitba computers. They are built for power, but degrade faster. Plus, the laptop model I bought was discontinued a year before I bought it at the store; how did I know? When trying to update the firmware, it was stopped at the spring of 2005; I bought it in the summer of 2006.


Agreed.  However, Q_A_X said "any failure rate at  all is unacceptable."  Demanding a zero failure rate scenario is fantasy land.  Demanding a reasonable failure rate and decent warranty is understandable.
