So after Zen was saying that the 360 has a three year warrantee (if you buy a new one today), I went to look it up.

This was on there FAQ page:

Q: Have you identified a root cause that can lead to failure?
A: There is not a single issue that we can point to as being a problem.  We test the product extensively, including accelerated life testing, but the nature of the console itself is very complex, as it’s a consumer electronic product that contains more than 1,700 different components and 500 million transistors. 

There are a variety of scenarios that can cause a general hardware failure.  Only the indicator (the three flashing red lights) is always the same.

I love how they make it sound so complex, because one of the components that they need to keep cool (CPU and GPU) has so many transistors.

Sorry MS for getting upset about your failure rate, I didn't know it was such a daunting task, will all that complexity and all.

To be fair, Sony has the same amount of PR BS spin, this one I just came across, and it made me chuckle.

Honestly, the main issue was the motherboard bending when overheating. The logical fix would have been screw the damn thing to the case. But of course M$ isnt a hardware manufacturer so I wouldnt expect them to know logical thought for hardware.

As apposed to all the threads here that have deep meaning, and shape the future of the world.

I thought it was funny. This is a site to talk about gaming things that we find interesting. In the grand scheme of it all, they are all pointless.

??????????????????????

There is nothing stealth about it. A stealth troll is a post that is made to look like a positive post, but with the real intent to make fun of something.

There is nothing hidden here. It's a post to make fun of MS PR, and it stats that. Not sure what makes that a troll post. I didn't just post some "MS is the suck" or something, just linked to a page that I thought was funny.

Lighten up people.

but...... who cares? not me!

If starcraft would of done the same thing for Sony then he would of got banned.. Its a flamebait thread and should of been locked.. its just too bad SSJ12 doesn't have the ability to lock threads, because I'm sure any other mod would of locked a FLAMEBAIT thread...

Locked.

Aside from the fact that this specific comment has been beaten to death, the overarching topic (ie RRoD) has also been beaten to death. And honestly thats putting it VERY mildly.

These threads always devolve into trolling and/or flamebait, so I'll save the hotheads among you the trouble and just lock it down now.
