I'm guessing "most" 360 owners are the few people you know that own one or the small percentage of owners you have met with on forums? So, let's ammend your statement to "The small percentage of the 20+ MILLION Xbox 360 owners that I have encountered thus far..."

shut ur fanboy mouth spoon
edit: i don't mean to be rude, but seriously, stop the spin. It is in writing everywhere on the internets. don't try to demonize me because i said 360's will die sooner or later. It's a flaw, the achilles heel of an otherwise great system, one that has come a long way from the original xbox. So keep your snide comments to yourself, accept the facts, and be proud to own it. Don't flail your arms at me like a fish out of water because i said the truth.
underneath the news post listen to the conference call
"we have identified several (things that make the 360 die)"
think about it, at the time 11million consoles were sold. If it takes 100 dollars to repair them, (which i doubt) it would cost them 1.1 billion dollars, the exact amount they put aside as a loss for the extended warranty. I think it costs them more like 40-70 dollars to repair. So they would have put enough aside enough for all consoles to be returned twice, or more possibly, all the consoles that have been produced.
In the call robbie bach says, the warranty is for all 360's ever produced. Quite confident to say that "nothing is wrong" (as they said before) when they will be covering *every* console they ever made.
"Q:How many consoles were affected"
"A: (paraphrasing) Never or will we ever discuss numbers relating to the actual number, but with a number of 1.15 billion dollars, it is a number with quite a hefty value and we take it very seriously"
Q: whose fault is it the assmbly line of manufacturers?
A: Those people do good jobs think of it as uh, a uh, microsoft's own design, uhhhh detail.
Q: Will revenue recognition be affected by this measure?
A: No, we will still market the same way and work by the terms of agreement that we have followed by until now.
spoon just because you and your four friends havent red-ringed, or maybe you have, doesn't mean that everywhere from news editors, to forum admins, to tech testing sites, to posters, these failures aren't happening. It is happening on a global scale my friend, whether you would like to believe it or not.
