Warranty firm SquareTrade has amassed over 1000 warranty claims for the Xbox 360 and come up with some interesting findings. They have found that the failure rate of Xbox 360 systems is at 16.4%, compared to a 3% rate for the PS3 or the Wii with sample sizes in the high hundreds. The Red ring of Death accounted for 60% of their Xbox 360 failures. The CEO for SquareTade said that in the future we may see an even higher percentage due to prolonged use.

quote:

SquareTrade CEO Steve Abernethy speculated that the future may see an even higher percentage. "It is reasonable to believe these failure rates will increase over time, since the Xbox 360 failure issues tend to increase with prolonged use where overheating appears the main culprit," he said. Abernethy went on to note that while the company didn't track the different variations of the 360, he "would estimate most if not all were the original motherboard."

In taking statistics, the two most important factors are sample size and randomness. By using a pool of over 1000 redeemed warranties, the report's sample size is sufficient. On the other hand, since the sampling was taken from people who have to seek SquareTrade's warranty service out, the possibility exists that the randomness factor could be skewed, leaning towards heavy system users who are more likely to overheat their 360s. This doesn't invalidate the report by any means, but it is worth keeping mind.

Nakaparepair nako anang guy. My repaired 360 lasted 1 month lang. Heheh. G-kapoy man ko padala oi. I still have some left of my 6-month warranty from him. I think Mass Effect was the culprit for my 360. Murag maka-overheat jud nang game kay nindot ug graphics ug maka-addict.

Team Xecuter promises quick, easy and cheap Xbox 360 RRoD fix

Team Xecuter, the group behind many a mod chip for Xbox has announced their latest upcoming product - a quick, easy and cheap solution to fixing the Xbox 360's RRoD. They claim to have tested their method on 18 Xbox's and everyone is still up and running. The kit will include both T10 and T8 screwdrivers and be on sale for $12.95.

It has been an awful long time since we have shown any activity in the scene and the break has been much needed after a solid 6 years working at the top level.

It's really great to see a thriving 360 community although our wish is still to have a fully working homebrew solution on RETAIL machines in 2008. We have friends in the scene who have done some really amazing things with a 360 dev machine in the last year, hopefully that can be transferred to the retail unit this year. There are no sleeping dogs so who knows what will happen ?

Anyway, I got my first 360 ROD brick over Christmas so instead of sending it back to M$ I took it apart to fix. I have come up with a very simple, very cheap and very effective quick-fix solution to most ROD problem machines. I have so far tested the method on 18 Xbox's and every one is still up and running (much to my surprise I might add - the older versions of this console are junk). It's Chinese New Year at the moment so as soon as we are all done i will get it packaged up and shipped out to the usual stockists. Hopefully it can work for you

The kit will include both T10 and T8 screwdrivers and the prices are as follows (1 Kit Per Xbox 360):

1 Kit $12.95 each
10 Kits $11.95 each
50 Kits $9.95 each
100 Kits $8.95 each

Contact your local stockist for more info.

We’ve known that a new Xbox 360 chipset has been in the works for some time. Codenamed Jasper, the revised chipset is rumored to go into production by August 2008 and is said to sport both a GPU and CPU utilizing 65nm process technology.

Anyways, on to the new stuff. Today we’ve learned of two more chipsets that are rumored to be in the works. The first of which is called Opus, a Falcon generation motherboard designed to fit in a Xenon case. Considering the first gen Xenon models did not include an HDMI port, it’s safe to assume that the Opus will be reserved for dealing with the RROD issue on older refurbished consoles.

The second chip, currently dubbed Valhalla, bridges the 65nm CPU and 65nm GPU from Jasper into one single chip. Given the compact size, Valhalla will require less cooling and would hopefully be more reliable than its predecessors. And let’s not forget lower production costs means Valhalla would most likely be cheaper, too.

Assuming Jake’s information pans out, we should see 360 units with the Valhalla chip installed on store shelves in 2009 or mid 2010 at the latest.
