Poll to get Dtoid's 360 failure rate.
wardrox \| 9:32 AM on 03.10.2008	28 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.

I am on my 4th 360..it all happened within 6 months.

I'm on my 5th. Do I win something?

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?

ZombiePlatypus says:
(# 7) on 03/10/2008 10:43

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.

RaiRed says:
(# 9) on 03/10/2008 10:48

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

(# 10) on 03/10/2008 10:51

@ 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.

ShadowXOR says:
(# 11) on 03/10/2008 10:54

Mine died.

Just put my vote in!

I have been through 3. I am thinking about selling the 4th.

MaxVest says:
(# 15) on 03/10/2008 11:04

@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.

Neonie says:
(# 16) on 03/10/2008 11:29

I would but then I'd have to register and all that and I don't feel like it. *Goes back to sleep*

5th here.

WHAT THE FUCK IS A FOURIM? IS THAT SOME ROMAN SOCIAL HANGOUT?

Y0j1mb0 says:
(# 19) on 03/10/2008 12:38

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.

Projectexodus says:
(# 20) on 03/10/2008 12:47

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.

DynamicSheep says:
(# 21) on 03/10/2008 12:59

My vote is in

Necros says:
(# 22) on 03/10/2008 14:05

Can I vote for all my friends who had dead systems before?

mistic says:
(# 23) on 03/10/2008 19:46

I've been lucky so far...

Velt says:
(# 24) on 03/10/2008 21:49

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.

My first is still running, but if I vote it will die..
