Seems like the 360 is a stinker.

I want: Blue Dragon, Viva Pianta, Prince of Persia Classic, Castlevania, and maybe Band of Bugs if it's as amusing as it sounds.

I don't want: The sound of a jet plane and red lights as soon as the warranty expires.

Redesign the thing so it's quiet and functional and I'll probably hop for it at some point. Otherwise, no way.

The breakage issue is made worse by M$ trampling all over EU and UK consumer rights, and forcing people to pay £80 to have their defective consoles repaired. When talking of expensive games consoles the "reasonable period of time" quoted in the law is years, not a single year. Furthermore the problem with the consoles strongly appears to be the shoddy construction and cheap materials they are made from, making M$ doubly liable.
