About Me
OMG GAMES.

I'm a student in Manchester over here in the always sunny UK. I can juggle, like cats and can't say the alphabet backwards very fast.

The Podcastle is sexy, listen to it.

Games have become a backward-looking medium. Because game designers rely on the language of cinema, they have not sufficiently developed a new form of storytelling based on the language of video games. - Daniel Radosh 28/09/07

Poll to get Dtoid's 360 failure rate.
wardrox | 9:32 AM on 03.10.2008 29 comments




After reading over at Cheap Ass Gamer the reported failure rate of the 360 is around 60%, I was wondering if we could get similar results here. So, I made a dtoid Poll.

Go to the forums and vote!

Also, if you want a quick lol, watch my comment on CheapyD's Digg submission get buried to oblivion. FYI, I was referencing his video where the RROD made his baby cry.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

This should be in the forums rather than a Cblog.

You should have an option for “More than five” — I think Joe Burling says that he’s had six.

Do you think people who have never had a 360 malfunction will be motivated to go vote?

Quick, somebody tell me how to vote! I mean, on the one hand my 360 hasn't ever actually had the Red Ring deal happen, but on the other about a week or so after launch the damned disc drive fouled up and refused to open. I was able to play Hexic until the shipping box arrived, but nothing else. So I don't want to say it's all been fine and dandy with mine, either, seeing as how it did fail and all...

This is biased, I question your journalistic integrity.

Well mine broke down, but no RROD. Was getting audio, but no video. Report sheet said motherboard failure.

@ MaxVest

I don't see why they wouldn't vote. It's not really a very difficult thing to do, and most of those whose 360's haven't broken would likely chime in to disprove the general consensus anyway.

@timtheterrible: It's a moot question anyway. Since nobody a) reads Wardrox' blog or b) knows wut r 4umz, I feel comfortable in saying the results are lies.

360 Failure rate?? LMAO!

What ever the results, people wont believe or care.

They'll still champion behind the console, like cattle to a slaughterhouse.

No RROD's.
But my first 360 froze alot, so I traded it in.
And my current one has a heap of disc read errors, so I might trade it in.

I always say the same thing, i want one for the games. But because i live in south america it would not be possible for me to have one without having to ehem... "modify" it.
And mocosoft wouldnt give me warranty if i did so.

Then, if i buy the thing, it breaks (as it will break), then im screwed and without money.

I wont buy one until is cheap enough or good enough... that is not going to happend at the end of this cycle.
