Whats the odds of the Walmart display 360 with 3 rings of death?

I was browsing the games today and happen to notice the 360 had the three rings of death flashing. I had to laugh. Whats the odds of this?

Yep, its Wal-Mart, people play the games until their parents rip them from the store.

Wasn't it 54%? I seriously do not remember.tagyhag

That was based on a poll. But I don't think we really have any accurate percentage. I'd estimate it to be at least 50% judging from the "fact" that the people who haven't experienced RROD seem to be a minority.

I don't know, I'm not a statistician.

ok that link is a little bit old but they recently confirmed a 24% failure rate while the ps3 had a 10-14&% and the Wii 2-4%. Also the new Jasper boards don't fail 24% of the time.

The 360 at my local Gamestop got the red ring last year, some kid took a picture of it with his cell phone.

24%?:(

How could I not be in the 76%?:cry:

Well, it is trapped in a plastic case so it is gonna get nuked real fast.

:lol: I seen that at a Gamestop once, me and my friends couldnt stop laughing.

Yeah but the ps3 is trapped in a plastic case :D no problems there

I lso looked up the RROD at GDC :lol:

Display 360's RROD fast because normally they are not kept in well ventilated areas and they are used all day. Also, idk about your Walmarts, but the type of people that go to the closest Wallmart by my are horrible with the video game displays. I have seen a white 360 control that was practically completely brown from dirty hands, the top of analog sticks completely rubbed/burnt off, the Xbox guide button missing, and the 360 itself had RROD. I have also seen PS3's on display with the Playstation symbol ripped off (the one above the disc slot), controllers with the actual analog sticks snapped off completely, and the L2 and R2 buttons missing. Long story short, display systems are prone to dying faster due to the way they are treated (where they are kept, how they are cared for, and how people use them).

Hehe, I have actually seen this happen twice at two different shops, they should have put up a sign that says "this could happen to you". I guess it just tells you the truth about the X360, and how badly put together the hardware is.

i work at walmart (seriously not joking) and i can tell you are 360 has broken countless times not necessarily because of the hardware cause after it's been running for roughly 15 hours it gets hot as hell inside that case also are PS3 as broken 2 twice.

Ive seen alot at best buys and walmarts around where i live.

The odds are pretty high, since they're usually in a case where there's nowhere for the heat to go.

and aren't the systems inclosed in very non-ventalative cases?
