I'm pretty excited about this too, but I still think the xbox 360 gets an unfair shake. My console worked for almost three years, and it was close to a launch system. Plus with the warranty it is really nbd at all.

warranty isnt BAD but having to use it is. I mean i lost my console for a month waiting for a replacement and alls I got in return was a one month voucher for Live.

The 360's design isn't good but its not god awful. I think a big part of the problem is the operating environment that people are putting their systems into. People used to put a 64 or playstation in cabinets and all that crap and no problem because the damn things werent too powerful. The new systems are cranking the watts up like a PC and the average person doesnt know that they shouldnt put it inside this tiny little completely enclosed entertainment center.

People know of teh overheating problems now, so most people know not to put them in confined spaces.

And they still break.

Im on my 3rd 360. And they were just on the top of my desk. First one RROD after 20 minutes. That is just a shit product. it didnt even have time to heat up.

Dont get me wrong i think they are subpar in general in quality and have a high chance of breaking but i have to disagree with your statement about knowing not to put them in confined spaces. The average consumer is retarded. Its amazing what people do to the things they pay good money for.

My roommate's Elite RRODed on him last year and it was sitting in the wide open and was never used more than an hour or two at a time and probably not more than 3 days a week for 6 months.
