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.
FUGLY!
yawn
Does it come with M.U.L.E.?
I like some sweet ass Red Storm Rising submarine action myself.
Hopefully their keyboards will have a "RUN/STOP" key instead of "Break"
Was this thing left on a New York sidewalk overnight?
GG idiots...you judge their custom paint jobs on one pic that pwns up close. Saw the damn thing with my own eyes.
Here are some better ones.

You're right. Those are WAY better......
Whoops. Shouldn't have given you that link...here's the one you want

Change the number at the end for closeups of the cases (02 is an alt view of 01...skip it).
Typing in http://www.primotechnology.com/news/0307/commodore/images/07.jpg made me lol....
But 03 is a pretty sweet case, IMO.
And no, from what is out on the net, they won't be an emulator bundled with them. They'd have to consult their slavemaster Nintendo for game rights (atm), methinks.
But will these machines be able to play Jumpman Jr.?
Apparently they do come loaded with a Commodore emulator loaded with some games. I'd buy one if they had one in C64 Tan with a color logo.
Not bad. I wouldn't say it's my style, but I can appreciate it.
Number 3 is the stand-out, imo. The one shown in the article is a diservice. Perhaps a South Central LA crack dealer wanted his one pimped?
Yeah, you gotta wonder why they chose the worst of the bunch for this article.
No taste, engadget. For shame.
They should Sell a "heritage edition" with the same specs in a C64 or amiga case.
you can see all the skins at the http://www.commodoregaming.com site.

and they do have a tan case, but the logo is black it seems.
the skins are awesome - "C64 Sick Beige" is excellent lol.
it's amazing what you can do with a basic box like this. they 'll sell well.
From the specs of the Commodore XX Gaming rig:
"Preloaded with a C64 emulator, containing more than 50 classic games"
It does come with an emulator...at least that box does (and I'd highly doubt they'd skip that in the other variations too). As to whether Jumpman Jr.'s on it? Ehh...there's been no word.
Now here's a somewhat original idea, I like it even if most of the cases don't tempt but the plain black does look good :P
