Thats 7 out of 7. 100%. Use your common sense.. how can you have 7 out
of 6 failing, its not possible, because you only have 6!! lol.
One of the replacements failing, would mean 8 out of 8.. still 100%.

I had a Sony Mini Disc player (portable) it broke. I have a SOny Mini Disc player in my car, that too has broken and been repaired twice. My parents had a Sony VCR (back in the day), that too broke.

I think it would be more accurate if it said, John is a 24 carrat gold cock sucking cunt.

2 trips to town. 4 miles each way
16 miles in a 1.2 litre corsa.
estimated about 2-3 quid?
almost PRICELESS

At a guess it means out of every 6 people who own Xbox 360's, 7 of them will be faulty (the units themselves)
So some people have had problems with it more than once

yeah but the fact is only 3-5% of the total number of 360s are faulty, which is a very small percentage

It doesn't say that anywhere in the article itself though Matt. John is just going by a silly summary for the article from another site..

That would be considered incest tbh, fool.
I hate games, I have no consoles and have no wish to have 1. What I do is base anything i ever say on factual information gathered from reliable sources and then form my opinion. Every site I have been on regarding 360s has suggested that the hardware is fragile and breaks down easily.

with electronic goods 5% failure rate is considered good and thats the sort of figure companies would be quite happy with.
yes 30,000-50,000 units seems alot until you compare it to the fact that there are now well over 10 million units that have been bought by customers

Another way of looking at it, there has been a possible 60,000 gone wrong, 1 for each seat at the Emirates stadium. When you compare that to how many there are fine, then you would need to fill the Emirates 166.5 times

That's why you aren't the head of one of the larger manufacturers, that failure rate is absolutely terrible by market standards.

Was the failure rate not 15% when we discussed it in another thread.
Oh to have a selective memory.
I actually think it was mk4_astra that brought up the failure rate figures.
He must have forgoteen.

15% on here not 15% worldwide john, which is what we are discussing in this thread are we not?
unless somewhere someone has stated we are talking about corsasport failiures, but i cant see that anywhere, i must be missing something
