Default Xbox 360 reliability is worst of consoles
SquareTrade has performed a study of reliability between the Wii, Xbox 360 and the PS3.
The results found that the Xbox 360 was the least reliable while the Wii came out on top as the most reliable.
Looking at the first 2 years of ownership, 2.7% of Wii owners reported a system failure, compared with 10.0% of PlayStation 3 owners, and 23.7% for Xbox 360 owners.
The complete study is available below in PDF format.

Ouch, after all this time you'd think MS would get their hardware sorted out

Doesn't get used much though.


If HK-47 and GLaDOS had a child, the character they create would cause the video game world to overdose on awesome. -sheridanmovieguy: Dragon age forum user.

I am knocking on wood while saying this but,

I have had my 360 since the Limited Edition Resident Evil one came out, I have had it running for days straight at times, used it a bunch, and so forth and it's still running great.

Yah, price you pay for awesome graphics. You could play crappy games on the Wii.

No surprise there once again. Everyone I know with one had a failure and repeat failures. PS3 is now $299 and a much better value.
