[QUOTE="clone01"][QUOTE="AdoringFan_"]

This is not rocket science buddy ;)

Go to google and search sites, go to ign, go to gamespot, etc. Besides E74 is still happening. Don't believe me, look it up. ;)

i'm not your buddy, so please don't refer to me as such. why should i look it up? burden of proof is on you. give me some up to date data that's not from someone's blog or informal poll.

How many sites do you want me to give you? :|:|:|

and yet you've still not given sources about problems from late 2008, and 2009, you keep giving sources that are talking about problems that appeared 2007, or early 2008. Every single thing you've posted is a concentration on the problems, not the decreased occurrence of those problems.

[QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"][QUOTE="imprezawrx500"] what good is it if you can't max out your console without it burning up? a cpu should be able to run at 100% without a problem. imprezawrx500
If the console was enclosed then it is obvious that it would overheat. :|

anything with half decent cooling can run with limited space without frying itself. the 360 has a terrible heatsink/fan design.

Go put your pc in a completely enclosed or somewhat enclosed thing, now play some games for a days period (12 hours) now come back and tell us what happend? oh and ps3 had problems, back up untill about 8 months after launch ps3's would fry in the enclosed wal-mart and bestbuy enclosures it wasn't untill more ventilation and fans were put in that it stopped. Infact i used to have a picture from my cell phone of the wal-mart ps3 frozen.

[QUOTE="clone01"]not one of them gives any solid data or numbers, except Wikipedia (quoted below)... CaptainHarley

wikipedia is a garbage website and should never be used as a reference. maybe the links provided to the 'research' there can be. wikipedia's 'facts' are often pretty much about on par with the garbage in this forum, but niced up in terms of grammar.

anyway this thread has done a great job of reinforcing my theory that any post with the straight-faced smiley is never worth reading.

also me2 is going to be awesome

exactly, which reinforces the fact that no one except MS really knows what the 360 fail rates really are.

His first link is from Jan 2009.

Besides, they sold the majority of consoles during the first 2 years and should of had to recall those faulty consoles instead of putting you into a refurb cycle for 3 years then forcing you to pay repair of buy new after 3 years of getting the run around.

""It's been happening to gamers since at least June of last year"" they sold the majority of consoles during the first 2 years? its been like 4 years at near 32 million sold i highly doubt that. refurb cycle? send it in, either get your unit repaired, refurb or get a new system one of those three will happen, as for forcing you to pay its no different then any other console maker when it comes to paying for repairs.

[QUOTE="sethman410"]Mass Effect fails, soooo overrated.tester962

Mass Effect was an awesome game. Sethman I really doubt you ever played it. You said in a previous thread that all you did was play the 360 at your friends house. Was this the game you played over there? I doubt it. I have no problem with Sony or the Playstation but you just spew Cow nonsense any chance you see fit, its pathetic.

i have a pc version, and didn't like it at all. the only thing i liked about it was the graphics.

If the game isn't optimized and tweaked, who cares. I can overheat any computer with 3 lines of code. It doesn't mean that my code so great or the CPU is unstable, it simply means i've got unoptimized or bad code.
