Reports on the internet are flooding in about the spotty reliability of the Xbox 360.
- Micromart, an independent repair center in the United Kingdom, has refused to service bricked 360s, saying "This problem is endemic on the Xbox 360 console...and the volume has made this repair non-viable." According to a Micromart employee quoted on Shacknews.com, the problem "has been identified as a fundamental motherboard problem....The level we experience is unusually high and information on the many website forums seem to suggest it is far more widespread than our own information."
- Another source is reporting that U.K. repair centers have been so overwhelmed by returns for repait, they are outsourching the fix-it jobs to other countries.
- Microsoft's reponse has been close-to-the-vest. Y'know, things break," commented Microsoft's Peter Moore in May. "I'm not going to comment on individual failure rates because I'm shipping in 36 countries and it's a complex business." Microsoft has claimed a 3% failure rate for the console and has stated it is within acceptable limits for consumer electronics.

THATS SAD!!!!
lol @ 360
THIS IS SO RETARDED
i remember in the original xbox manual it says it recommended only playing 3 hours at a time.
They bad mouth the 360 problems expecting people to rush to the PS3.
Oh my gosh! Sony fanboys are really the trademark of the phrase "Product loyalty"
By the end of 2007 the PS3 will be dead and buried.
if you go on ebay theres not a single broken ps3 out there, look up broken 360's on ebay at your own risk if you really wanna see the truth.
get with it microsoft
my ps1 is from 1998 and still runs fine
"my ps2 is from 2001 and still runs fine
my ps1 is from 1998 and still runs fine "
B*llshit! I got my PS2 in 2002 and die in 2004. Only two years after I bought it!
Stop making shit up. Sony makes shitty products as well.
Guess what? My N64 and my Dreamcast is STILL play games!
Stop licking Sony's balls.
you can do it with one of thoes disks with the brushes or open it up and clean the lens with rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip.
try it yourself, get the dust off the lens, it will work perfectly
its not hard to use common sense and know every console differs from one another just because yours died doesnt mean everybodys did cause my ps2 works as good as the day i got it back in 2002
yes i own a dreamcast, 2 of them. the one i bought in 2002 had a graphical problem where after 30 minutes of play the graphics would be so messed up you couldnt tell whats going on in the game. and my dreamcast from 1999 runs perfect.
there are still vents on the bottom of the 360... when placed on carpet they are blocked. and there are no vents in the front of the system,.. shall i go on?

Hey you dumbshit! If I friggin have a N64 and my dreamcast running great, doesn't that clue you that I do take care of my consoles?
360 funboys are desperate SHE*t
30 % OF ALL FU*C*KING 360s ARE MEAN TO DIE
THAT IS FREAKIG SAD
Sony holds the record for most consoles sold.
the previous record was also held by Sony, the ps1 which was over 102 million consoles sold.
how seeing that the ps3 is a very high tech machine, i believe it will be around longer than the ps2 is right now. and the longer a console is around the more are sold. ps3 has the potential to sell more than the ps2 since its tech wont be obsolete for a very long time.
am I the only one who sees a problem with that???
Oh and notice how quickly the M*soft fanboys hide when something negative is rep
