I thought these results were pretty good... except for the male v female one =/ I hope that isn't representative of the community -_- (Sausage fest!). But yeah, it's based on 99 or 100 votes (depending on the section)... so it's a decent chunk of data. I really had fun making this poll and I'm satisfied with the turnout. I'll think of another one in the near future and I hope you guys found some redeeming value in the fruits of my labor :)

Yoshi, Data Master, signing off!

u shud make a new one later on in the year see how they compare :P

i was sure of it!

Great survey dude! Really impressed with all of the work you put into this. I'd be willing to help out if you want to do another in the future.CNUrGames

Thanks a bunch :) If anyone wants to send me potential questions I'll throw togeth another 10 question survey. Just remember that they have to be remotely 360 related! :)

Oh, and on a side note... I'm accepting all friend requests on XBL and GS... so hit me up! I won't bite... hard. Thanks again for all the responses... I love polling... maybe I should be a marketing major instead of finance =P

Ya not a bad survey. Its a sad state of affairs that you actually have to have the following question.

4. How reliable is your 360?
No Problems - 39%
A few minor problems - 16%
Many minor problems - 2%
Sent it in for repair once (or PRP) - 33%
Sent it in for repair more than once (or PRP) - 10%

Then the fact that only 39% have no problems is even worse. Sorry just getting bitter cause i want my xbox back been gone over a month now.

Wait a minute. Why is there overlapping in the age brackets? If people were 13, 17, or 25, they get two options. That's blatantly unfair to everyone else, and I demand a refund on my registration fee! Or...something.Hashbrowns

I didnt' feel like adding 13.0000000001, etc =P

I agree. I do, however, think that those results have to do with the concentration of 360 gamers on the board. I don't think the failure rate is that high overall, but any more than a tiny percentage is too many... Luckily my 360 has been rollin steady.

haha, Yoshi your signature is hilarious :P

Interesting results, I vote you as the 360 forum's official pollster :P I would however like to know, what was the number of people that took the survey?dukerav

100 on the button. That's the maximum monkey will allow without me having to fork out the cash. I would have liked to get more... but that'll do for now I spose. Given the size of the community, it's a decent representative sample of the population.

Nice to know, look forward to future polls.

I could've predicted those results as well, except for the 33 percent of users who have had to send in their console to get it fixed. I find that number startling.ryanvl

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, (and the recap from clinton =P). I'll be putting up another survey in a day or two :)Staryoshi87
