wait , how does that work. a previous update that caused disc read errors but only when the new update was released?
or an old update that causes this error NOW and not back when the actual update happened?
this isnt making sense?

I'm sensing the continued stupidity of all major consoles are showing. What with them being stupid and all 90% of the time, yes, it works every time.
Every console has its problems xbox 360 has had some more but lately the ps3 and psn are turning out to be pieces of junk as well. They really need to improve on console and network reliability next gen.
Dammit Jim! I'm meant to be working (not that browsing Dtoid was 'working' in the first place) But now I really want to watch an Adventure Time!
@Fetusmilk I am confused as well. Sounds like they are more or less admitting that the last update caused people to have problems and what months later they are admitting it.
@sexualchocolate: I'm guessing its just a 10 second update and all fixed so that's faster than sending it in and getting it replaced
Wow, everyone seems confused, and I am a little myself, Jim. When was this old update, and why are we only hearing about this now? Has MS taken until now to announce the replacement plan?

Its not that easy as just focusing on console reliability... These are the drawbacks of wanting to have better graphics etc it means more components, more complicated code etc.
For every thing you add you increase the risk of console failures,security holes overheating etc. Then theres the fact we all complain when they release it at a higher price then we wanna pay. Lets face it we are our own enemies...we dont want our games to look like shit but we also want things to be super reliable and have new features added all the time.

There was a bug with a previous update. They used xbox live to find all the affected consoles, and sent all the owners free replacements this week. It's got nothing to do with any of them failing this week, it's just that they sent out replacements for a previous issue.
Yeah I called today again because my Xbox has been having issues since I entered the beta and they are trying to tell me that I'm not getting the Slim that I was told I was getting yesterday. They are changing their tune fast here.
Well I'm still hopeful. I haven't fired up my work Xbox (the launch one) in about a month and a half. Guess I'll have to fire that jessie up and hope for the best (worst?).

Maybe they realized there are more launch 360's in the wild than they had presumed?

It's not launch 360s tat are affected. It's specific ones, it's not like an age thing.
I have a launch 360 and it's been playing smooth as butter and I'm in the beta and everything.

Have you ever noticed that Nintendo consoles never seem to have the same issues that Microsoft and Sony have? Nintendo does crap that pisses me off, but, at least, I know my console will never break.
Here are some interesting survey stats on the failure rates of all three consoles:

Yeah, but an overwhelming amount of research (82%!) shows that 37% of people weren't aware that the website I linked to even existed, so I'm 70-75% sure I was right in posting it.
Also, I'm 90% sure I have a boner right now.
*looks down*
Make that 100%.

One of what's? One of the people trying to let everyone know this isn't a launch 360 issue? Trying to inform people of what isn't in this article and MS isn't commenting on?
Or one of those people who brags about having a launch 360? Yup, that's me. Yesterday I didn't say I hope my 360 gives out so I could get a slim at all.
Launch 360s fucking blow. I'm trying to let people know what's going on. Christ man. Lay off on the judgement a bit.

I have a launch Pro model and am in the beta program. I haven't had any problems, but my system was sent back for repairs a year or so ago because of the RROD.
