Inside Source Reveal the Truth About Xbox 360 "Red Ring of Death" Failures

Just for those who don't know, a 30% failure rate is absolutely terrible.

This is old news, man... but spreading the knowledge doesn't hurt, for those that didn't already know about this.

With the new SKUs and more PS3s sold, a little bit more failures are starting to show up. But that is probably close to the standard electronic failure rate. The 360's is just hideous.

Also, I heard a lot of good things about Sony's Customer Service.

What's so good about it? They're in a country that's closer to the U.S. when compared to India?

Might as well keep it, if that's the case...

Both companies have horrendous customer service... and this is a person that has had to deal with both of them on more than one occasion.

Well, from the stories I have heard from Sony Customer Support, it has been good. But that might just because it is a somewhat rare occurance. As with the Xbox Live customer support, there are a lot more of those calls, so there is a better chance of more of these horrible stories showing up.

Anyways, I heard many things about Sony's support (some occasional negatives).

-Speak full English
-Replaced out of warranty consoles (when they know it is out of warranty)
-Helpful
-Gets systems replaced fairly quickly

But you see, this is the same thing that I would say about the Microsoft repairs... sure, it happened (hell, more than once!), and naturally I was pissed... but I always got a 360 returned to me in a very timely fashion.

If the 360 didn't have such great games, I probably would think that it isn't as good as I think it is - or play it nearly as much as I currently do. Besides... I think the PS3 needs more shelf time before I am ready to make a more definitive "review", if you ask me.
