Xbox 360 Failure rate, not 30% like some haters claimed.

i dunno i think a lot of them break,

mine has this unplayable disc error and i have been lookin at other forums and many others are having the same thing...

i still love it tho, not gonna hate on them for it, just kind of a bitch..

I dont have a 360 or a ps3, but let me say something here.
I work at FedEx and we handle all the shipping for hollywood video (which includes Game Crazy, same corp) and we get a 50 foot trailer of boxes (sometimes 1 and a half) through the facility every day going to the Hollywood/Game crazy warehouse.
Now my job is Repack that means if somthing breaks open here i get to deal with it and alot of those Hollywood/Game crazy boxes break open and I see 360's being sent back to the warehouse dur to defects all the time. Id estimate that ive seen about 30 or 40 in the last few months (and thats just what breaks open and comes to my repack area). In the same period ive seen about 4 or 5 ps3's. Now admittedly there have been more 360's sold than
ps3's, but there is a disperportianate number of 360 that i see so. . .

I know this still disuades no one who is a 360 fan from fervently defending the system and you know what, I salute you

Owned all 3 ps consoles and have had GREAT luck with all 3, did have some problems with the ps2 but it was due to the dust getting the lens dirty once a year or so. On the other hand my brother has a 360 and he has had to trade it in for a new one.

360 is sorry its just true PS3 is so much better its my opinion, but Everyone i know whos had a 360 had it die on them, my sister has had the PS3 from launch and has had no problems once her kids put 2 discs in it and it ejected them with no damage i was freaked out i thought it got messed up for sure but its a beast very reliable if you ask me. The control is 20 times as easy to use too, in my opinion that is the most important thing because of quick reaction Ect... Ect... better when your fucked up :smokin:
