GS Employee: Oh it burned out again?

Customer: I thought these were the new ones that don't burn out... :(

GS Employee:Even the new ones burn out, Just more slowly.

GS Employee: They all burn out eventually, it's only a matter of time.

Customer:I'll think I'll sell it. And save up for a PS3.

No more words need to be said.

I wouldn't be so sure. I mean there are people who are on their 4th 360 yet they stick with it, most of my friends are no longer on their first but they all stick with the 360.

I didn't even know 360s had a high failure rate until I came here. The TC avatar looks familiar. Are you that fanboy that really hates the 360? Hates it so much that you keep creating topics about it?

Yeah, I'm really sick and tired of my 360; I've had it for more than a year now, with no major problems. I mean, if it doesn't die soon, I'm going to go broke from all the games MS is forcing me to buy...

Ironically, I'm actually kind of waiting/hoping for my 360 to die, because I've got the warranty on it, and I want to trade up for an Elite with the 65nm CPU. I guess that's why mine hasn't broken yet. :P

I work in customer service and I have seen fewer and fewer xbox 360 returns due to RROD and other hardware failures, infact I have yet to see any of the new ones that have come back because of hardware failure.
