So a good unit last a couple of years, while a bad unit can fail in hours. I have a launch unit and have not had a single problem with it.
What, exactly are you even trying to debate? Take a fucking solid stance. What amount of time are you saying 360 must fail in, because I'd like to know.Quote:

Does that mean they all last forever? Fuck no it doesn't.
But from where I stand, with the failure rate I have seen, I'm taking his 30% failure rate to mean that 30% fail ridiculously early and the other 70% last a substantial amount longer.
Because Sony Imagesoft was the first piece of Sony ever to exist, right?Quote:

What i am more kinda thrown back by is you kinda downplaying 30% failure rate.
I'm not downplaying it, I actually said, and I quote:
I think that failure rate is completely unacceptable. It really is. But I don't think a 3 out of 10 chance that your system will fail inside of this generation (that's the best way I can figure that they're judging failure, since as we've already said it's really 100% over a long enough time span) means you're fucked from the start.Quote:
Now I'm not saying 30% isn't stupid high
So I am trying to connect to Live via a USB Wirless Adapter (Linksys brand). Is there something I am missing other then just plugging it into my 360? I run the Live test and it doesn't get past the first test.
You can't use a USB adapter.
What you need is an adapter that goes through the Ethernet port. Linksys, D-Link and Microsoft all produce them.
Fuck M$ and that $99 Wireless Adapter
The D-Link one works well and it's $49 bucks if you can find it.
Is the 360 one line-of-sight like the original Xbox's was?Quote:
