360 & PS3 failure rates

[Lee]

Quite an interesting read. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-system-failure-article

I know people who have had 5 360's!

My day one November 2005 unit has been for repair one. I guess not having a dusty house has helped.

Knowing my luck my 60gb PS3 will die when I get Drakes 2.

Know lots of people that have constantly been sending there 360's away for repair so im not suprised they are leading the way!

My PS3 went tits up (common fault) after 18 months and my warranty had ended but Sony were as good as gold and still swapped me a new unit within two days of speaking to them about the problem! :approve:

I've had a Premium and Elite, both RROD and sent away.

I don't know a single mate who hasn't had to send their Xbox away for repair (6 mates on Xbox, 3 of them have sent the same one away twice)

I'd have to take the link in the OP's post with a pinch of salt, however well written the story is it reeks of bull, of the few people i know who have had a faulty PS3 they have had a brand new replacement at the door within days, they didn't have to send the old/broken unit out first, whether it was within the warranty period or not.
