Microsoft's hardware problems are well know. The company had to extend its warranty to three years on Xbox 360, and lost a billion dollars in the process. To this day, people still complain about the console's reliability and the so called "Red Ring of Death." A recent survey by magazine GameInformer found that 55 percent of respondents suffered through a 360 failure but Xbox Live and Xbox 360 director of product management Aaron Greenberg believes the hardware problems are now in the rear-view mirror at this point, since the company has continually made improvements on internal components.
Today, IndustryGamers received new survey data from SquareTrade, which claims to be the largest independent warranty provider in the world. The study compared the malfunction rates for all three consoles and found the Wii to be nine times more reliable than Xbox 360 and four times more reliable than PS3. That said, there has been significant improvement with Xbox 360 and the RROD problem. SquareTrade's data shows that the introduction of the "Jasper" chipset in late 2008 "has likely solved" the RROD problem.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

TimeShift had a fairly muted launch in 2007, and while it doesn't rewrite the FPS rulebook it does offer an enjoyable campaign even now.
Never heard of this game until someone mentioned it here last year. Played it and it basically represents most games from the PS3/Xbox360 era—good graphics, amazing physics, and extremely fun gameplay (time powers rock), but barely any story, weird pacing, and at least one annoying AF level. I finished Prototype last week and the same applies, except Strike Teams. Fuck Strike Teams.
I miss when ganes used to experiment with physics and world interaction
OK so they are saying the failure rate is around 10% -_- Really?
Whats funny is most of the XDF will eat this up.
What about E74?
Also, just because it's going down doesn't mean it's any better after all Microsoft released a faulty product which everyone just accepts.
it great story for xbots.
you can accept gameinformer's informal and error prone survey's results, but not squaredata, a company that HANDLES warranty issues?
wow....the cult like attitude of the SDF is amazing
My 360 gave my Halo 3 game a real Halo of burn in on the disc due to my malfunctiong disc drive on my 360. I called Microsoft, and all they could tell me was I can *BUY* a replacement disc of Halo 3 for 20, and pay for a repair to my 360. I told the guy that my 360 had problems and I felt that Microsoft should at least give me a replacment halo 3 for free and repair my 360. All they could say is sorry sir, you have to pay... Like WTF!!! Never buying a 360 after that. Shame because I loved my 360... :(
