The estimated number of Xbox 360 consoles that fail within two years of purchase.
A new study from SquareTrade found that just 23.7% of Xbox 360 consoles failed within the first two years of ownership, which is actually a fair bit better than some of the previous numbers that topped 50%.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Another reason why it is best to go out and do something versus playing Wii for simulation.
Awesome!
Penny-Arcade already covered this: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/11/13
Don't hate. How embarased would you be if this guy PWN'S you everytime in Wii tennis? You flailing about busting up the furnature and still losing to him. LMAO ;^)...
While I can see the tennis/baseball ones. You lost me on the ceiling fan. Just too improbable that it would actually work.
What was that last game he was playing?
Last game was the training mode for tennis. It's actually pretty fun.
he makes the "Wii weight loss guy" look like an overachieving tool.
why is this news?
It's not News, much like this isn't specifically a "news" site.
It's a blog, with items of interest. If it doesn't interest, keep on scrolling.
Not a hard concept to grasp.
Funny how they don't show him and the screen at the same time. Show me a video of him actually controlling a character on the screen.
Not only did PA cover this, but they even dropped the term "toolbox".
When the remote is on his feet the led aren't on. It is on during the fan though. I still feel like this guy had someone else playing while he goofed off.
duh...
Sure you can play it that way, but where is the fun? IMO, its a lot more fun to stand up and get into it. If i want to play like that i can go back to GC/PS2/Xbox.
You never actually see the TV and him playing at the same time. I think it's BS. Just an excuse to get 15 minutes.
...that's a man?
I dont know why engadget wastes there time showing these clips. All these people are doing is cutting the film togather to make it look like he is doing this with his feet/ceiling fan. Wow, to any of you that accually believe this video is real.
Of course it's not real. It's sure funny, though.
I think the point is sort of lost with Wii Sports if you decide to just sit around and use the wrist-flicking method as described by many people, including Penny Arcade. I'm willing to bet that most people who play Dance Dance Revolution or equivalent don't sit in a chair in front of the mat and step on the squares that way. I'm also willing to bet that Guitar Hero players don't use that controller in a way that negates the entire purpose of the game. It really removes the fun factor from the game entirely. In short, if you like DDR but bash the Wii as making you look like a toolbox, then you sir are the toolbox.
that was the funniest thing i have seen in a long time
I bowled a Turkey like that once, and almost a 6 pack. My eptileptic brother is right at home playing it, when we play each other in baseball he beats me, and I could swing like hank arron and not get anything. Its a game system even my dog could play. But it has no real motion built into it giving an un fair advantage to the phyiscally challenged.
My epileptic brother beats everyone whith his playing style, you know I boweld a turkey just like that guy is doing. Sitting down like a debhilated pig eating and stuffin my face, i almost bowled a 6 pack.
That system gives the obesely challenged and slightly gifted in retardation ability an unfare adavantage, I was home run king in real life for a local school and my brother cant even hit a baseball and he can beat anyone. I have to wipe the drool off the remote.
Wow, Herr Lipp has a Wii!
who gives a rats ass
Thank you!
...wow...people...jokes. look it up.
engadget's a blog. if they wanna re-post a joke video then more power to them. i thought it was pretty funny.
LOLOL

Internet blog comments are getting scary. I'd laugh, but you people that take this sort of stuff seriously actually exist...
Did anyone else notice this?
He's not wearing his wrist strap!
Run for the hills!
This is to all the people that are looking at this as if it were real, then ridiculing it because its not possible or its completely fake.. Of course it's fake!! It's just for entertainment! And it's a good clip..so stop being pessimistic d-bags!
At least he won't break his TV.
Just goes to show how stupid the average american is thinking he is pete sampras or something.
This is why the remote's strap is "weak"...they didn't exsp[ect people to be such idiots to think it made a fucking difference how hard they swang it. Get a fucking grip retards.
Sad.
