Heh.. This reminds me of a joke I played on someone with their WM phone. Create a video with a good editor of the phone screens freaking out.. Like apps starting on their own, device reset screens, etc... And a little applet to start it up full screen... This very well could be propaganda, but even if not, no device is perfect. Heck, look at the story a few weeks ago about the kernel faults at the apple store, or the glaring security holes in the iPhone/iPod devices. No one company is impervious to faults, but on the internet, always be a little skeptical at first because it may just be a good video and he never actually touched the screen.. or had it covered so the capacitive touch didn't work (mine will NOT react to a fingernail touch, only skin... and note how he tries some of the screens clearly using the side of his fingernail).
Aww c'mon. Are you guys blind?
Look, the red is washed out, so think about it.. that's not a blue one.

It's the side effect of the photography. It's a black one, but the bluish outer color is emphasized.
These sort of numbers coming from Best Buy doesn't surprise me. I have heard from and even seen where employees intentionally drop consoles and PCs, then tell customers "see, you should have gotten the extended warranty!" and turn them out. EB Games is no better either. They resell the same broken console over and over (easy test.. buy one, return it as a "Red Ring" console, then have someone watch.. It will go back on the shelf.. to be sold again....).

Truth is, both of my 360s are still running strong, and both were acquired on Launch. Everyone has different experiences in the end. Oh, and MS doesn't built them, the same company bickering did. MS should have picked a better builder.
I had one of the original Ogos. Heck, for $20/mo for all the IM, E-mail and text messaging you could handle, it was great. Especially since there was no contract, no voice plan required.

These devices were popular in the Hearing Impaired community, and with tons of others. The problem is that they marketed it toward kids/teens, yet most of the users who had one were adults who used it for work (IM, Text alerts for server-down scenarios, etc.).

It is a very useful device for many, and personally I can't wait to get my hands on another one.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
