So far had no problems with it.

I know youll think this is a waste but, If mine fails ill just buy another (plus send the faulty one back)- thus not worrying about delays in returns etc.

Shouldnt have to but.........

Then you'll have 2 360s =/

Edit: Ah I see what you mean now. Yes that's the ideal way but a lot of places will only give you a replacement and not refund you after the 7 day period.

I was thinking of buying a xbox 360 but from the sound of it, seems a bit naff. 21% failure its pretty terrible if you ask me. Oh well guess ill have to look into other consoles (already got meself an import ps3, not much games out atm for that). Though walls of jericho (or something by clive barker) and gears of war looked great.

No doubt it's higher than that for the people who voted it's ok but have since had a death. I think I voted fine and have since had 2 more.

Yep, if i couldnt "get away with that" i would indeed have 2, but thats better than the endless cycle of RMA's which seems possible/inevitable?

If i didnt think they were brill i wouldnt even contemplate it BTW.

At least id have one working at all times?

surely.........

Its one of the reasons I bought and second one. Sadly I was gutted when my first one went away, so I got another to fill in for it when it goes to MS hospital.

Mine was made 11 Sept 2006 - surely 12 months into manufacture the hardware would be more reliable?

Buying a second wouldnt be so expensive tbh:-

Sell the controllers (45 for pair?)
Sell the HDD - (50 quid)
The free game (25 notes?)
HD Cable thing - a tenner

So Console would cost circa - 120 to 150

Not too bad.

It would be yes, they're very annoying and means I have to take a lot of my time out trying to tell the indian call centre stall how to spell my name over... and over... and over again. Wilson is not a complicated name!!!
