    "Good warranty seal is unbroken", thus, not modded / banned.

    Good deal, about what you'd pay on eBay or CraigsList without the 20 GB drive.

    How a company got away with selling hardware that has a 50% chance of RROD not get in trouble with a class-action lawsuit is beyond me...

    Those lawsuits do very little for consumers anyway. All they do is make a few lawyers wealthy.

    Any other company would be in a big trouble though!
    Look at Firestone selling defective tires...they almost went under with all the lawsuits...then again I guess the RROD doesnt have the possiblity to result in death! Maybe thats the stipulation...
    haha

    People died from riding on firestones on Ford Exploders. I don't know of anyone who died from RROD.

    No one who actually looked at the numbers have put the failure rate anywhere close to 50%. They put the failure rate at about that of the early ps2, which is still terrible, but not nearly 50%.

    More than a few websites have done research on 360 failure rates. CAG did a pole on it and came up with over 50% failure rate. Granted, that is a group of people who play a lot of games, more casual players probably have a smaller chance of failure.

    The CAG survey is a lesson in how not to do this kind of research. Only nimrods and fanboys quote it.

    I just said 50% but I know its well over that. And remember those are just the people who reported them to MS! Many had people fix them or fixed them themselves because they couldnt wait or modded it. It actually well over 50% failure rate...

    How can you refurbish a 360 without breaking the warranty seal? All they can do is repackage a unit that previously had a problem.

    Those 50% statistics are horse baconnaise.

    I work with statistics so I know how they can be manipulated. Of all the people I know who own one I don't know a single one who has experienced RROD. Now I'm a little older so our game usage is lower than that of a 20 year old but I'd say if the failure rate is 50% I'd know at least one person.

    I've owned 2 XBOX's. The original 20GB which had a RROD and then shortly after began to grind my games away with scratches with a bugged CD-ROM drive. My second one, an arcade (with my original ones hard drive) also got a RROD. Sent in, fixed, and no problems since...

    My brother's original never got the RROD, only the system fried and needed to be replaced.

    My cousin's got the RROD after the warranty expired.

    50% is not a bad figure... there's no way it's ANY less than 33%... I will tell you that.

    The new ones don't have this same rate of problem... so I would just go buy an elite and not worry about it. These, or any of the older ones will eventually bite the dust.

    I build my own computers and play games on them and have had 0 percent failure rate. I think ill stick with that seems to work.
