I have to give it to M$ though, they have accepted there is a problem and are fixing the consoles.
Good to see a major corp back up thre products, as dodgy as they are.
2013 Ford Focus ST
Calibra - The only car that will institutionalise you and send you broke in the mean time
yeah well they kind of have to.
back up their products, or lose severe amounts of customers
on alot of other sites people always compare ms "yeah sure we will repair/replace your xbox", to sonys "sorry its out of warranty etc"
every product has its cut of faulty units, whether its a tv or a computer.
id say almost all of the time every company tries to worm its way out of replacing etc if the warranty is over.
but a 54% failure rate is huge and could potentially see the death of that product/arm of that company. if not the entire company.
im just guessing here, but id say if microsoft didnt take on their repair/replace/long warranty scheme, it would have been the death of xbox and any other console ms bring out in the future, and would also see large drops in sales of all other ms products including their os.
so in a way, they really had no choice.
same would apply for any other company.
