I could really use a laptop!

For the Horde.

Also, 3 - 5 percent is never an acceptable defect ratio (Maybe for new electronic tech, but the xbox 360 is no longer new). I am an engineering student, we are taught that an acceptable defect ratio is under 1%.

Mine is broken, with the 3 rings of death that indicate a hardware failure. I apply the towel trick about once a day as a temporary fix. I will ship it off soon.

My 360 just died on me. Yes I played it all the time, it was my main source of entertainment -- I do not get out much.

The 360 problems are systemic and inherit in the design, I think this is becoming more and more apparent. I have a feeling the most hardcore gamers will experience hardware failures sooner than more casual gamers. I think in due time just about everyone with a 360 will suffer a permanent hardware setback.
