To Microsoft's credit, the 3% to 5% return rate is more information than Nintendo or Sony would share and the company has always been open and forthright with IGN

I find that figure hard to believe, as it can't be verified independently and doesn't come close to tallying with public reliability polls.
 
Ive put down as going wrong.

It went wrong after 18 hours, got a replacement and this one has been solid for a week.

Has it put me of the 360, never! :D

You had two? I'm thinking of getting a second one. How do you use the same gamertag on each of them and I take it then you can use the one live account?

Cracking fun though, on my second one after the first ran at half fps (only found out when I got the replacement) and it artifacted on the first.

Second one is much better. :)

You always hear about the bad stories, never the good. I know of 5 360's running since launch fine. Cracking console although not quite on a par with PC for longetivity on the games, they are most certainly fun while they last.
 
How about a option for "i dont have a 360 but i am thinking about getting one so want to know how reliable they are".

As if you hav'nt voted you cant see the results. :mad:

People are far more likely to report a bad experience than a good one.

Use the recover feature or move the profile to a memory card.
I'm strongly considering getting a second one.

True but anecdotally doesn't it seem a bit higher than 5% to you? They had a lot of failures in the IGN offices for example.
 
I earlier in the thread repoted my 360 as fully working since release. Now I have a small problem with the disc tray not closing without physically pushing is shut. Does this count towards the dodgy ones?
