    And every time i get in a discussion between xbox360 and ps3, all xbox people can say is: PS3 is dust collector. I mean, I understand why you xbox fans say it, because there is nothing else negative you can say about ps3.

    The Xbox 360 is subject to a number of technical problems. Since the console's release in 2005, users have reported concerns over its reliability and failure rate.
    To aid customers with defective consoles, Microsoft has extended the Xbox 360's manufacturer's warranty to three years for hardware failure problems that generate a "General Hardware Failure" error report. A "General Hardware Failure" is recognized by three quadrants of the ring around the power button flashing red. This error is often known as the "Red Ring of Death". In April 2009 the warranty was extended to also cover failures related to the E74 error code.[153] The warranty extension is not granted for any other types of failures that do not generate these specific error codes.
    Since these problems surfaced, Microsoft has attempted to modify the console to improve its reliability. Modifications include a reduction in the number, size, and placement of components, the addition of dabs of epoxy on the corners and edges of the CPU and GPU as glue to prevent movement relative to the board during heat expansion,[154] and a second GPU heatsink to dissipate more heat.[155] It is now clear that these modifications have not only been exclusive to consoles repaired by Microsoft but to new consoles as well


    Never seen the word "failure" so much used in a article describing a gaming system.
