I for one am happy to see this. But of course ps3 fanboys will find some way to make the 360 look bad....but then again sony wants me to pay $150 to repair my ps3

I've had absolutely no problems since they upgraded the console. I believe it to be 4% or lower, went from reguarly having issues with it to none at all after receiving an upgraded replacement.

wow that's a lie. I was surprised that the failure rate seems almost the same, based on what I hear from people. Not surprising since MS flat out lied about the failure rates when RROD was in full forceGunSmith1_basic

I'm skeptical too. I think this only counts the new units. I still have a feeling it's the faultiest console this gen, but only by a couple points.

Less than 4%?

Sweet. Thank you Jasper Chip.

4% isn't actually all that bad, its better than say an ipod.

Oh. Well I thought these were all the 360 sold. But if it's new/repaired units then I can believe it.

Congrats MS! It only took you four years!

Now watch second-year failure rates jump through the roof. :twisted:

.Err, great to see that failure rates are dropping to a much more acceptable rate. Can't say we'll see the end of RROD threads until a year later when all the old models of 360's die out and are replaced with new models though. :P

360 failure rate "below 4%" since 2008

Good news if true. I haven't had any problems with my 360 (later Jasper model). As for the fanboys they won't care.

Well, the 360 I got in 2008 never broke on me, it actually lasted over a year and is still going, though 2 of my friends had the RROD recently sadly.:(

Why in the world did they release this information now then?

Because in order to see the first-year failure rate of 360's released in 2008 or later, you have to wait...A year!:o

I have a falcon chip and im still running fine. The jasper must be amazing then :O. All in all, its a good time for those who is looking into buying a 360 :).

I just sold my broken Wii and the games and got over a $200 dollar credit at gamestop, I thought about getting a new one, then I laughed. I can't decide if I want to get a few PS3 games or get a XBOX. If Microsoft has in fact improved the hardware, I will brake down and get one.

It's like the panther tank, ausf. G was a fairly reliable with decent mobility, but will be remembered as being very unreliable.

Yes I know the pic is of an ausf. A, but it's just too BA.

Good news. None of my friends have had any problems, but I own a 2007 Elite. The only problem I had with that was when it's disc drive stopped working for about two days back in 2008, but it's working just fine since then.

Is it me or is this just a blog that links directly back to GS?

The failure rate could be less than 1%, but that still ain't going to remove the stigma associated with the Xbox 360 hardware issues from the past. Pity.

Even if it was below 1% doesn't change the fact 90% of 360s ever sold don't have the improved chip :)
