I like threads like this because you can come here and find the non-fanboys. The people who may not even own the system but are willing to say "Hey, this is a good thing!" about it. It kinda separates the men from the boys.

You spoke to soon lol

If you're referring to Playstaion gamer, let's just say I take everything he says with a grain (barrel) of salt.

No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

200% failure rate with N=1, well that completely disproves the OP.

Well the new Jasper model hasn't been put 3+ years but I think the numbers are still relatively low, maybe 1 in 10 or less at this point. We use to hear RROD stories all the time at work but not many if any with newer models.

It's just that simple.

This should have been in the first place, but it's still good news and I can finally consider buying a 360 one day.

Notive the article says just 4% die of RROD. That means that more then that die from other issues.

However its obvious that the overall failure rate is vastly improved.
