Yeah you're right. The 360 never breaks. the xbox 360 has a 33% failure rate?
[QUOTE=''NielsNL'']Yeah you're right. The 360 never breaks. [/QUOTE]Yeah Sony made up the RROD it's a lie!!!
[QUOTE=''NielsNL'']Yeah you're right. The 360 never breaks. [/QUOTE] Nobody is saying it doesn't break, just the 33% fail rate is total BS.
It's much higher. I have 2 friends who had to send theirs in within 5 months of buying it. Then got replacements, which adds +2 to the ''sales'' charts for M$. PS3 has something of a 0.3% fail rate. And I believe that as my friend has had his PS2 since 2001 and it still works like a charm and I trust Sony puts the same quality build in all their consoles. The 360 is a good console, but because of it's horrible fault rate and no potential for next-gen gaming in the coming years, it will be dominated by the PS3 until the next XBOX releases and then we will see.
Well, for me it's been 50% so far. ;)

[/QUOTE]In my experience if a rumour is that persistant it's usually true. There's a Dutch saying which covers it translating: where there's smoke there's a fire.
[QUOTE=''DXGreat1_HGL''][QUOTE=''NielsNL'']Yeah you're right. The 360 never breaks. [/QUOTE] Nobody is saying it doesn't break, just the 33% fail rate is total BS. [/QUOTE]Agreed. I don't care though, Microsoft replaced mine and my friends.
Its actually around the 10% mark now
[QUOTE=''thageneral3''] Havn't some people gone through 4, 5 ,6...As many as 12 I have heardIf it breaks 5 times on you, thats a %500 percent rate[/QUOTE] No thats still 100% failure rate
I'm pretty sure the failure rate was 100% at one point.
He's right the 360 has a 33% failure rate... but that's because people don't take care of theres, i do had mine since launch =]

So the same system fails 5 times. 5 fails to one system. 5:1 =500%
Its not 33%, its 35%;) The 360 has horrible hardware, people are on their 5th :|
