@ Mr-M

I'm pretty sure the it will be a similar picture in Oz. People needing replacements will probably get one from the shop they bought it at... they'll have to wait till more stock comes in if they're sold out... or get a refund.

A mate of mine bought an xbone, he's had no trouble as far as I know.

But Princess Kenny has already stated that the Xbone is aligned with the 'forces of darkness'... which may be a good thing. Depending on your point of view. :D

But South Park has nailed it imo. This time around, it comes down solely to 'what are your (online) mates getting?'.

Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

Im sure that I would not trust some of the people to actually send a broken unit back. Do you think good faith is relevant?

Not really, we speak a bastardized version of English called Newfie-speak eh and we can't read very well so we have screen reading software to read to us. We only type in English so you others can understand us...what do you expect when Canadian schools are all just large Igloos and it's below freezing for 11 1/2 months out of the year...

It is better to wait for 6 months before getting a new console.
