  That's one heck of a failure rate. I wonder if they were produced with a faulty part in production. Think of all the blokes without their 360. I would be ticked off if it were me.

  1,500 or 2,500 per day? That's way too many. But they need to look over their design of the 360 and see what's wrong. because this will make sales drop a little.

    a Little? This sounds horrendous to me. I'm not sure if it's just a little dent in sales this would produce... If i were MicroSft, then i'd definately look into the design problems of the BOX and even recall that defunctional piece of red-light-flasher!

  It's stupid how XBox 360s break so easily. Microsoft should re-release the 360 and make them more workable.

  Why wouldn't you comment just because a certain person submitted the story?

    A lot of people are convinced I'm a Sony fanboy. That's not for here though. If they want to talk about it, they can PM me.

  Yesh, I knew the defect rate was high, but this is plain rediculous 0_o Its like a Hardware version of Windows...but even Windows doesn't need to be repaired with this sort of frequency 0_o
  
  Glad my 360 hasn't crashed (yet....or ever, I hope)...

  I am really surprised the number is that high. I really didn't think that many consoles broke down. Mine hasn't yet and I know a lot of people that haven't had problems.

  If you ask me, the 360's are a bit touchy, and some may break easy, but I think the real big cause, is mis-care, seriously, the amount of people who just throw discs around, have their 360's sitting in piss poor places, put heavy stuff on top of it ect ect, it's no wonder they need repairs. If people were a little more careful, then maybe they won't break as much. Haven't had a problem with mine, and I've had it for quite a few years.

    I think you are making unfair assumptions about people you have never met. Most 360 owners are gamers and this is probably not their first game machine. A rate this high indicates a production problem not end user misuse.

    1500 to 2500 people a day misuse the 360? Bull.

  That's alot of consoles being returned. That really sucks. Microsoft needs to get those fixed or they may be in serious trouble in the UK.

  LOL wow i love when when im right on this. A few months ago o said the xbox consoles had so many problems they cant even begin to understand. But didnt we know this already during the xbox and ps3 thread. That guy who works for UPS said this. The funny thing is it was in the U.S.
  
  
  You know why there consoles are breaking its from rushing the system out b4 ps3. And being lazy when fixing it. If only they take there time with making sure it would not break again from anything. Even if you was fixing the Red ring of death. Look for other issues that could be fixed. I know i would if i was them

  MS is already below there standards, they need to take more time to check the system. Not doing a half ass job on it.

  Microsoft should look over their systems again and fix the problem, before they lose a lot of potential customers.

  <sup>Thats amazing !
  I knew that quite a few peoples 360's had broke, but I didn't realise that it was such a big number per day ! ... at this rate Microsoft must be losing a lot of money.
  
  I personally know 3 people who have had about 10 360's between them, as they keep breaking / scratching their discs</sup>

  That is alot... It basically means that about 50% of all Xbox 360's bought in the UK will have broken by year end.
  
  At the minimum 1,500 a day equals 547,500 units defective per year, and at the maximum 2,500 a day equals 912,500 units... That is a pathetic number of broken consoles and that is in a country where we have only contributed about 2 million to worldwide sales.
  
  To put it in perspective it is 10% of the worldwide consoles that are defective just going on the UK figures and 35% of consoles in America going on they have only sold 4.5 million units there.
  
  Good going Microsoft you rush into the console market and deliver a console with potential but so many hardware flaws it is hard to laugh anymore.

    Im sorry but i had to laugh at your post
    Question would they be losing money to a point it could be as bad as ps3 retail and cost sale. Cause if so then there pretty much in a state of emergency.

  That is *bleep*ing horrendous. That many per day!? How faulty is the 360 to produce such a shocking statistic? By the sound of it, very much. This isn't acceptable, and Microsoft will be in deep shit if this continues to happen with no improvements.

    May i add this is only the UK's statistics, i would dread to see what it is like in America and Japan... Though if Japan have the same numbers per day as the UK then 100% of all units bought will be broken before years end.

  Microsoft produces software, not hardware, for computers, and even their software is buggy. Blue screen of death anyone?
