We’re all aware that the Xbox 360 has serious issues, all expect Microsoft apparently. Retailer are reporting that the faliure rate is over 30% on Xbox 360 console, while Microsoft arrogantly keeps saying there’s nothing wrong with the console – “what red lights of death”?

This is what an anonymous EB Games manager had to say (and hopefully many others will come forward and share their stories as well):

“At one stage we were getting calls everyday however this has slowed down. The failure rate must be well over 30% which when you look at a PC or iPod the failure rate is less than 2%.”

I personally am on my third Xbox 360 console, within 8 months of buying the first one. Since there are decent consumer laws in Europe, they were all replaced for free, but across the Atlantic, gamers aren’t that lucky. If Microsoft admitted to all the problems, it would cost them millions upon millions, and they would probably be sued a lot. Hopefully something will be admitted soon, as it’s turning into a joke at this point.
