May my 3rd 360 rest in peace. :(
There are 8 species of badger, in 3 families: Melinae, Mellivorinae, Taxideinae. The Asiatic stink badgers of were formerly included in the Melinae, but recent genetic evidence indicates that these are actually Old World relatives of the skunks.

Xbox 360 Failure Rate Pegged At 54.2%
The Consumerist reports epic fail on the Xbox 360 manufacturing. According to a print edition of Game Informer, a survey revealed that the console suffers from a 54.2 percent failure rate, compared to 10.6 percent for the PlayStation 3 and 6.8 percent for the Wii.
The magazine surveyed nearly 5,000 readers to get the data. And while the 360's rate is alarmingly higher than the others, it's still bafflingly low because it blows the mind to imagine that 45.8 percent of the consoles have not broken. Also, Microsoft's numbers are inflated because 360s are used the most of the three consoles. Results said 40.3 percent of 360 owners use the console three to five hours a day, compared to 37 percent of PS3 owners. Meanwhile, the plurality of Wii owners (41.4 percent) play their consoles less than an hour a day.
Microsoft also seized the gold medal for unhelpful customer service, taking nearly a month to repair or replace a console, while Nintendo and Sony stuck closer to a week. Only 37.7 percent of Microsoft customers found the company's customer service was "very helpful," compared to 51.1 percent fo Sony and 56.1 percent for Nintendo.
The most shocking number from the survey - and frightening from a consumer perspective - is only 3.8 percent of Xbox 360 owners said they'd never buy another Xbox because of hardware failure.
I feel lucky, I'm still on my 3rd 360. Atleast getting them replaced is easy enough. Still would recommend 360 over Bluray player (PS3) and shitty casual game machine (Wii.)
UPDATE
Responding to GameInformer's survey that estimated a 55.4% Xbox 360 failure rate, Microsoft issued an official statement which didn't refute the number.
"Microsoft stands behind the Xbox 360 as a superior entertainment console with one of the best warranties in the industry," reads the official statement. "We are constantly improving the design, manufacture and performance of the console through extensive testing of potential sources of any problems. Xbox 360 is pleased to maintain the title of 'most played console' and the vast majority of Xbox 360 customers have enjoyed a terrific gaming and entertainment experience since their first day, and continue to, day in and day out."
Instead of refuting the numbers, Microsoft's statement stressed that their superior warranty makes such a high failure rate irrelevant.

My Xbox 360 died 3 months ago (red ring), just a week before Xmas 07. They sent me box, and I was happy to see that it only took 1 week (including shipping) to get a new refurbished one. Now my new one is having issues loading games, its going back. Discus Xbox 360 repairs here and post your thoughts. Reading on some site that company says 16% of them die. I think it's closer to 60%, since all my friends who've had one for at least 1 year has had to send it into service, and half of those have had to send them in again. Oops looks like Microsoft pulled a boner. Bill Gates if you read this send me lots of money please I need it for child support.
