Unlucky ? I dont think so, its more a case of being lucky if you dont have to return a 360, the figures have been out there for a long time, it has a failure rate over 75% (ive read its more), granted that rate may be getting better but seeing both the Wii & PS3 would be under 5% failure rate it really shows you how fragile the 360 is.

True.

Also, what's with all the 360 hate going on atm? Come on people, let's not bring ourselves down to the level of PS3 Fanboys/girls who instead of shouting the praises of their console they point of the mistakes of others. Seriously, Kotaku = Japanese + SDF.

AND what's with this failure rate business.. I've seen 20%, 35%, 66%, 75% and even 82%! being thrown around.. didn't someone once say that 70% of all statistics are made up? I know that the 360's failure rate is pretty significant and Microsoft did a terrible PR job on it, but lets not go shouting random figures out.

When the PS3 starts pumping out quality games, then they can start talking about how their console is superior to the 360 and Wii(they claim that 360's been out a year longer thats why their games are better, but what about the Wii? a year later and the Wii's bringing its heavy hitters, what about the PS3?). Until that time, be happy that you have an overpriced gaming console AND an BARGAIN blu-ray player.

Personally, I wouldn't sell my wii (noting that I own a 360 console too), but if the 360's games appeal to chazdaguy more than the Wii's, then let it be.

i still can't believe people are still willing to sell their wii's (even now just as christmas AAA titles are arriving) for a 360 that costs twice as much which would have to be replaced due to red ring of death within months..... oh well.... sad.....

Please, take time to use grammar, and spell correctly.
"da"? "dusn't"?

Because he wants a powerful machine with awesome online games. Why else would anyone want a 360? I know I'm getting one for those reasons.

The Wii will stand the test of time with Wii Ware games and more online games aswell coming and more Devolpers getting on Board,
The PS3 is potentially The best for graphics and Capable of heaps more space for bigger and better games!

I will be keeping my Wii forever! and in maybe 6 months ill get a PS3
XBOX 360 not for me! too expensive, too unreliable, and its Microsoft!

Yeah Vista is the devil's creation. Usually I'd say "well you get what you pay for" but that's the thing...for an expensive OS it sucks lol.
I hear the new batch of 360's are stable now and have 65nm chips. It's the ones in the xmas pack that just came out, they also have HDMI.
