Nervous about buying a xbox

I dont get if ur trying to be sarcastic but sorry if this is over posted but I am really confused on wether the 360's are reliable.

Well, lets look at it this way. Go through the forums, and look at how many post there are about broken xbox's, quite a lot right.

Now, find out how many people on gamespot has an xbox.

Heres what people dont seem to understand. EVERYONE ELSE who hasnt posted a thread about a broken xbox, means that there xbox is ok.

I mean, if all you people want, everyone who's xbox is working can come on here everyday and make a new thread saying "my xbox is working". Suddenly, it doesnt look lioke that many are breaking in comparison.

The only reason it looks bad is that if you broke your xbox, you post about it to get help, so ONLY bad xbox's are posted about.

THere perfectly reliable, dont worry, things just get blown out of proportion on the internet. 

I was gunna go out buy a xbox but now I keep reading stuff about them breaking. My friend said those were the 1st gen 360's but the problem was fixed in april 2006.  Is this true, if they break all the time I'll just save my money.bluepopcorn
