The failure rate for the XBox hovers around 1%, the exact same failure rate as every other console. Now if only every other console could claim to be as powerful as the XBox...Amen...the ONLY problem I have with XBox is the skinny game selection, that and the fact that most games never get cheaper as they age. (I can live with both of these since the games are mostly excellent) IMO MS has done DAMN well with the XBox and it has been money well spent! Something else you may want to consider before you badmouth is that game disks come from the factory defective as well.
It makes me laugh to see people mocking the XBox and "macrosuck." When "macrosuck" walks away from E3 with Game of the Show for Halo 2 or Fable I'll be sure to mock them.

I have heard rumors about my local EB that Bungie will release a PC version of HALO sometime this year. (after E3 before xmas) Id say that the hardware of the day couldnt handle HALO as BUNGIE wanted it to look. So they released on a specialized platform and waited till PCs caught up...which they have.
