Xbox 360 Jasper: 4% failure rate, Square Trade survey

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6216691.html

according to a survey by Square Trade, in the year that the jasper model xbox 360 has been out, only 4% of consoles sold have failed. in a survey in 2007, after two years they found that the falcon model xbox 360 had a 23.7% failure rate, and the PS3 had a 10% failure rate. Could this mean the 360 has a lower failure rate than the PS3 now? of course it need a little more time for an even more accurate survey. but the numbers show great progress, and the stupidity of those PS3 fanboys screaming, RROD, RROD, RROD, RROD, RROD, time and time again.

and don't forget the uber powerful 3 year long xbox 360 warranty, and only $69 dollar repair fee if out of warranty. The PS3 only has a year long warranty, and a $130+ repair fee, going up to 180 dollars in some places. In fact, TheRevFaction (AKA SolidRev28) has stated that his PS3 has been continuously freezing and he may need a new one.

Wow. Great news.

The ps3 fanboys wont listen to this.Ive already tried convinicng them

PS3 fanboys only hear what they want to hear.

The newer 360s and PS3 slim models use way more efficient hardware so the fail rate on both are lower.

More efficient = less heat = less problems

They are so freaking ignorant, if they lose the argument of RROD then they loss like 3/4 of their why PS3 is better than 360 arguments. They will never listen. I had some kid calling me an in denial fanboy because the 360 apparently has a 65% failure rate which he has failed again and again to provide me with a credible source. Whilst he denies my evidence

Hey guys,guess what.Im telling shokio this(i gave him the link)and hes keep denying it saying it isnt reliable.Then,he says im being biased and said im using fanboyism.Hes what you call ignorant

I don't even get Shokio, he claims he's the Wii Network leader, but he jumps in on 360 bashing arguments, and goes too the PS3's defense when he can. He makes very bad points too. He once told be that the power brick is a con because if it starts on fire it could burn your house down LOL! Dude next time he goes on about how 360 sucks....hardware wise, i will point out all the flaws and lacking areas of his precious Wii. He's a fag, that's the easiest way to put it, he should stay out of 360 vs. PS3 arguments entirely.

LOL,the "360 power brick causes fire"excuse is BS.Any electronic can cause fires.So do candles.

HAHA guys,shokio gave me a like to a website called cnet saying that 360 has a 60% failure rate.he beleive tihs BS more than tradesquare.And we thought ps3 fanboys were bad when they said 360 had 54% failure rate

yeah maybe if Microsoft was still producing those old ass units that argument would hold some weight, BUT THEY AREN'T. Microsoft is only producing Jaspers now, so if you buy a 360 now, there's a 4% failure rate. the PS3 failure rate could be anywhere from 2-10%.

Not quite right there, the PS3 Slim is a downgraded version, not upgraded.... The hardware in it is to cut corners for sony, therefore being able to lower the price.

The truth is that the PS3 slim is less reliable then the "thick" one.

Thats true. In fact I've already been seeing posts on different forums complaining about the Slims crashing and not reading discs. I expect to hear more after its been out a little longer.

I'm talking about electricity consumption.

Exactly

The overall power comsumption is almost not even changed. The only thing thev've changed is the power comsumtion of the cell, and thats not the big part of the overall.

This makes feel a lot better. When I bought my 360 a few months ago, I never heard about the RROD.

Didn't Gamespot say the same thing?
If so, we've got two surveys on our side. The surveys ps3 fanboys use are all over the place, they all say different stuff "92%, 54%", etc.

xD I think I can believe this.

This guy just failed:

Lol at the PS3 Fanboy comments. They need the Xbox 360 failure rate to be high for the sake of their own sanity because then they wouldn't be able to bash it as much as they normally could.

Fun Fact: New Xbox Live Experience + Better cooling systems = Reduced Failure Rate.

The Elite models are more efficiant but there is a bit of an uprising about the MW2 Edition's failure rate

Mine is not the Jasper , but it does not matter, i keep it at a cold place all the time, high up, and nothing blocking the vents. No problems yet and its gonna make 1 year next week.

Most of my friends have had problems. The console is supposed to be great, but I mean compared to the regular 120 Elite there is apparently more problems

Ah well, until the stats come in we can't be sure. But from what I have heard the Elite works better than the MW2 Bundle
