Always knew it was a rush job by Microshaft
Still failing after 2 years development is not good for a company the size if MS
Sent mine back after suffering from the RROD, sent it back to MS in a PS3 box

Its a full on MS fanboy that would bring the PS2 into a PS3/360 debate arena
Its unacceptable that the 360 still isn't reliable, I panic whenever I switch mine on in case I get the RROD, my PS3 doesn't induce such a state and my PS2 still works after 7 years, problem free
Fact is the 360 was obviously released unfinished - people moan about the PS3 arriving a year late, but it works, it's quiet, it doesn't fail and it has controllers with proper rechargable batteries, built in wi-fi, decent HDD etc.
From owning both, the PS3 is the better overall package.

found a ps2 in the bin at work that we put outside next to the vacuum bunkers.
drive fault
brought it inside, took it apart and clicked the lens adjustment a few notches and it worked fine, flogged it on ebay for £45
G/F has just came in before asking if i have messed with the 360 "as its went all funny and froze"
bejeweled 2 had locked up
having trouble logging into XBL again by the looks of it

Heh
I remember having slanging matches with MS fanboys on the failure rate issue
They defended the <5% figure touted by MS to the hilt when it was obvoius from the sheer amount of anecdotal evidence flooding the net that there was some serious design flaws and 5% was a laughably small figure.
Wonder what they've got to say for themselves now

I;ve had 7 in just over a year. Shamefully **** poorly made but then it is MS so you have to expect the Xbox to be as shoddy as their OS and software.
Office 2008 a great example 3 pages of major bugs including it not working with the previous versions on Mac and PC , doh !!!
Staff on Xbox support line variable too. One guy just hung up on me today. Charming.
Mistake on his part as a friend of mine is the big cheese of the Xbox division.
