comon ms, its obvious that the rate is between 50% and 100%. i bet nearly everyone of the launch buyers replaced this bunch of crap.

Obvious by what. Did you take surveys or analysed large groups of 360 users?

No. You're a Sony fanboy, that's why your statements are so dull

You do know that they are refering to the 300 consoles that EA received. 30-50 percent of three hundred is 90 to 150 consoles. Meh.

Xbox People are the Newbs, SOny is the Father of True gaming; SO maybe we'll teach you something this gen like we did last gen with 60% of the marketshare, mere infants.

Edit: P.S. Xbox Blows! Get yourself a real console with a variety of great games, PS3, "Get a Clue"

So should we talk about the DVD problems the PS2 had, because 50% of all users bought a PS2 for the 2nd or 3rd time because theirs stopped working already after a year or so?

Bad quality hardware = Sony

5.2 - ...your truth is nonsense.

"SOny is the Father of True gaming."

That sounds like some cult scripture.

"...we'll teach you something..."

Are you affiliated with Sony? You spit no truth, merely speculation.

Right, so the claim came from an EA employee. And then it says the whole thing wasn't even apporoved by EA? This is bullsh*t. The article contradicts itself.

I'm not mad. Hell, I had to get my 360 repaired too. I think a higher number of launch units were defective than Microsoft were letting on. But I don't care, I got my 360 fixed free under warantee, the hardware was updated so it wouldn't fail again, and all shipments after launch have been relatively failure free. If Microsoft have to lie about failure rate to avoid a recall, that's fine by me, there's no point recalling a games console just because of a few easily fixed launch day bugs.

I got my 360 two days before Christmas and its been fine so far. I saw the stories the net, but EBGames said they haven't gotten any complaints.

I wasted $40 on a warranty anyway...

Wow, every day it seems like these moronic Sony fanboys are getting worse, like Liquidfart. Honestly, if I was on the fence I would be turned off of buying a PS3 because of these idiots. These morons are doing more harm than good to their cause of supporting the Sony cult. They never back anything up with actual facts, they just spout idiotic comments. For example, this Liquidfart guy says to get the PS3 because it has a greater variety of games, yet there are way more games in development for the 360. Just doesn't make any sense.

I love my 360, but I've replaced mine twice so far. Of the people I know with a 360 more than half of them have replaced it at least once.
