Game Informer found Xbox 360 has a 54.2% failure rate, compared to 10.6% for the PS3 and the Wii's 6.8% percent. The magazine surveyed nearly 5,000 readers to get the data. The most shocking number from the survey — and frightening from a consumer perspective — is only 3.8% of Xbox 360 owners said they'd never buy another Xbox because of hardware failure.

First time was BD disc read error. Second time was blinking red light of death (temperature sensor error?)...
Cost 200$ to fix for a 90day warranty...might have been better off getting one on sale now at $299 with 1 year and a chance to extend the warranty. Ah well.
