According to a GameInformer article, the Xbox 360 still has a high failure rate, of 54.2 percent, due to the dreaded RROD, e74, and other errors, a number much higher than its current console rivals.
The PlayStation 3 had a 10.6 percent failure rate and the Wii was even lower, at 6.8 percent.
The survey used 5000 readers, but the article does mention a few notes to go along with the ... [ read the full article ]

yeah you did, you claimed the xbox360 does not have a high rate of failure.
Prove it.
Xbox 360 doesn't have a high rate of failure anymore. It's all in the past, ps3 fanboys still say that it does just so they can devert attention from the sub-par console.

Are you some sort of fortune teller than can predict the future of gaming consoles or something??? Or are you just a ps3 fanboy that is angry because he made the wrong decision...

I'll take up that challenge the day you post
Independant verifiable proof that the PS3 and its YLOD isn't effecting huge and increasing numbers of PS3 owners.
You'll be lucky to get any sort of admission out of Sony (despite the PS2 class action they lost - something which has not happened with Xbox - they never admitted any numbers for PS2 fail-rates)

My sympathies, wtf were you thinking of?
A game console as you movie player!?

Yeah well that part is absolutely true.
Less games and less games with a high meritocratioc score.
Never a truer word spoken in jext. eh? :P

Interestx and DXR88, why the hell are you guys bickering? rofl
You both like the X360, why don't you just agree to disagree on this really quite minor matter?
The truth probably sits somewhere in-between.

The only truth about the 360 is shoty iffy wonky design and or design implementation, everything else is subjective :P.
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

Old thread.... You've got too much time on your hands zip ~ go out and get some sunshine.
Yet I'll agree, the heaps of fun I'm having playing the old NFS:MW on my old Falcon X360 which has never broken down is entirely subjective.

Not only does my Falcon console still work (which I would expect), though it isn't used that often, our first generation console still does too, and that saw a lot of use. Guess we got pretty lucky, or maybe it's just because we paid attention to where the console was placed for cooling reasons :P

I'll admit to a certain amount of luck. So apart from that, it's not a bad machine. Gaming on it is a solid experience. I'd recommend always playing from the hard drive and using 720p if your telly scales up well.

The original console is for game backups. The Falcon is for current games. Falcon has HDMI on it for 1080p, so that's what normally gets used.

The max res of X360 games is 720p. When I was playing Resident Evil 5 on the X360 - I noticed that there was image "tearing" in the rendered scenes (which is done in real time). When I switched from 1080p to 720p the tearing disappeared! Try as hard as I could I could not tell any difference between the different resolutions selected. I use a 50" Panasonic plasma which scales up well by itself. I have since tried this on a mate's projector and other setups with the same results. Try it you'll see for yourself.
What's the point of taxing the scalar chip (thereby producing more heat) more than you have to?
Regards.

it depends on the game really.Ive got my console setup to my monitor at 1440x900 so i pretty much tax the scalar chip every time i boot.

If my monitor did not scale up well then I would employ it. But since the games' res is never any higher than 720p....?
And if the game performs better with it just set to 720p...?
All I can say is try it for yourself... if you think there is an improvement setting it higher than 720p, then go for it.

x900 is 900p, and it looks dame good...you may be right about the texture sizes, though like i said it depends on the game I've seen early games on the 360 that couldn't have been any more than 480p

If it was genuine 900p then I'm sure it would look "dame" good.
But yes, even the Modern Warfare games on the X360 are not in 720p... around 600 and something.
Microsoft removed the restriction that games had to be 720p since the first Modern Warfare. But they are still never over 720p.

Yeah the vast majority of 360 games are still 1280x720 max (not sure about all of them). A fair few are 1024x640, as that was the resolution PS3 games were limited to (not sure if they still are)
