@ediedi

I’m the author of the article, not Harry. To answer your question, I think 5 to 10 hours a week is a fair estimate. Before my console died, I had been out of town for about 6 days, and it red ringed after about 5 minutes of play.

@Marc

SquareTrade says there’s a chance that the new Jasper Xbox 360 models are less susceptible to the RROD (Microsoft says this, too), but it’s too early to know for sure.

I was skeptical of the 360 failure rate claims, until my 11 month old 360 died, despite the fact that I only play it 5-10 hours a week. And then my housemate’s 360 died. If my repaired 360 dies a day or two after the warranty ends, Microsoft can kiss my english arse if they think I’m buying another one.

Can this be broken down into, say the original motherboard designs and the new ones? Is the picture improving?

I have an original form 2006, the only problem I’ve had was a faulty disc drive. *Touches wood*

Harry, how often do you estimate you used your 360?
All these failure reports make me hesitate to use mine now. I’d bate for it to break down – it’s become my media center.

MSFT has sunk over 20 BILLION into the XBox division to date and has only seen 4 or 5 profitable quarters. Someone tell me WHY they don’t spin this division off to some sucker? Because nobody would be dumb enough to “bite”?

I am on my 7th,

bought 3 with the red light out of the box, had a few come up with errors and had a few with the POP and freeze, than no longer work. Microsoft must have just taken out the red lights because they found a way past the warranty, because they wanted money each time I contacted them.

They should be sued! They are such a scam.

I dont buy anything from LIVE anymore as I cant get a number of purchases to work. I use it more for rentals and NETFLIX.
