: 70 th | | | I've never had a 360 fail on me... oh wait, I've never had one. D'oh.
My cousin got one launch day IIRC, his failed early last year, but the new one hasn't had any problems since. I think the major issue is that people should buy a product like an intercooler and stand the system upright so it can get proper airflow.

| | | I haven't touched my old Xbox in months, I have no desire to drop 600 on any new console + games. I'd rather build up a new PC or buy more games for it.
that said, anything over about 5% is a pretty bad defect rate.
