Saying they can't be bothered implies they are sitting on their ***** doing nothing where as altering the design is obviously an attempt to sort things. Launch day machines may still be failing but consoles bought incorporating the new designs are failing few and far between and fall within typical electronic equipment failure figures.
if they're altering the design maybe you might get 5 red lights with the new one
Feel free to jump on, just for the record strictly speaking it shouldn't have been called RROD as it was just 2 lights (overheating problem) and not the 3 ring terminal hardware failure problem, since adjusting things it hasn't missed a beat. Not bad for something in use most days and according to my GT 135 games played
Of course that could be because there are hardly any PS3 owners around (in comparison to 360 owners) on this board
No Iain, it's because most PS3 owners are actually using their PS3's and not on here. Whereas the Xbox 360 boys are still waiting for their machines to be returned from Microsoft so have nothing better to do!

I'm a PS3 owner but I don't see any point saying the 360 is garbage and people have made the wrong choice buying it like you see from a lot of 360 owners about the PS3.
Only misguided people think that the PS3 is the 'King of Consoles'. Personally it's the one I use the most but I don't see it's that much different from my 360.
Both have significant faults due to MS and Sonys differing strategies.
Sony's firmware was pulled because it was borking consoles, look mr sony no lights whatsoever
The percentage was very low I believe, but Sony would rather withdraw something that affects a few customers, unlike keep churning out somehting with a fundamental design flaw, like someone else....
A 15 minute download and another 15 minute install is still a lot quicker than the postal service to send your ring of death Xbox back for replacement or repair for the third time this year !
