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.
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.
Looks like MS screwed up and is paying the price.
