Microsoft itself has finally manned up enough to admit the 360 has a problem, a big one. 10-11million (at the time 100%) of all 360s were manufacured with a design flaw. That very flaw was one of the main reasons 360 units were so often going down for the count suffering from the RRoD. There have been reports that as high as 33% of all 360s are dieing out and having to be replaced by MS.

MS has said their is a problem, but should the users be concerened? man 360 fans (and fanboys) dont think so. they will shrug off the hardware failure and keep moving forward saying things such as "you get a 3 year warrenty, so your 360 will be replaced", or sometimes they will try and argue that the RRoD isnt as wide spread as believed. these fans stick with the 360 to the bitter end, just sending in their console multiple times to MS, wondering if MS would be so kind to send them a new unit with a new heat syc, some are even so bold to hope for the HDMI enabled 360s.

even more astonishing is the fact many owners admit to buying multiple systems because they keep breaking down. they might buy 2 or 3 of these as they look for a working one. i really dont understand this morality at all. the first time my 360 died i returned it to GameStop and got a new one from their inhouse warrenty. once my second one starting acting up a year later, i got rid of it and upgraded to an elite. That to broke, it was the first one in my district to break. so now im on xbox360 #4 elite #2. so far so good (knock on wood). but a few days after i switched out xbox#2 for #3 i began to wonder, Why did i put up with this? Why was i so set on getting a 360 when obviously the 360 didnt want me? MS doesnt want my money, they dont want me to play games on their system. they just wanted me to buy a Xbox360 that i could ship back to them.

How does a system who constantly fails get such a strong backing? why do the Users put up with such hardware? why do they support it?
