Yeah, I'd say so, seeing as I'm on my fifth system. I've been a 360 owner since launch, and I've had more then my fair share of trouble with it. I still love it, as it has the best games available, but I'm not going to lie and say I've had a good time with the hardware itself, because I've had nothing but problems. To the people who say that it must be due to poor care of the console, you couldn't be more wrong.
See, I'm 25, and have been gaming for about 20 years. I know how to take care of my consoles, they are all properly cleaned, never moved when on, or when a game is in them, they all sit on flat, stable and hard surfaces, with tons of air on all sides to boot. When you take these precautions and you still have problems, it's not anyone's fault but Microsoft's.
I'm the first one to say they have a great library, but in my experience with the system, it does have some issues. I have been one of the more unfortunate ones, but I personally know many others. To be fair though, there are tons of people who have had no problems, and to them, I say "lucky", and "good for you". There are a lot of people who do abuse their consoles, but myself, as well as all of my personal, close best friends, are not one of them.
Just understand that there are issues with a lot of people's hardware. Not all of them, but a greater percentage then there should be. Granted, you hear more about it, and I think that's due to a lot of trolls, but a lot of people aren't lying. Be patient and fair to those who have had issues, and just be grateful you haven't got the dancing, laughing red light show.

*Processing*........I see some distinct logic in this post....*processing*......*comes to the conslusion that the poster must be a resonable person who doesnt buy into the whole...its tweh poor care, its all user ralted idea*
I had to make sure I was still in a GS forum for a moment lol...oh and whats up bro :lol: Yea its definitely more than just user misuse. People who say that have obviously no clue as to what they are babbling about, as you and I are cut from the same cloth, and Im on my 7th:(
Its not just GS forums...scower the web, its all over the place about these things breaking, thank god MS has revised its policies so that its in our favor now and not this teh 90 days, or pay crap.......Considering I live in Bill Gates backyard, I live amongst MANY people who have had breakdowns...I'am surprised I dont see riots:P
