Thumb Down

16% seems way to low

My Xbox 360 is currently away for repair.

After one year it got the three red lights of doom. It was repaired for free.

One year later (now), it has had the DVD drive fail, and worse still destroy two of my game discs on it's way out. I'm now paying £55 for the repair, as the extended warranty only covers the red lights fault.

Maybe my friends are particularly unlucky but the failure rate for consoles owned by people I know is something above 90% - only one person I know has had no problems with his console after a couple of years.
