Wow. It's more or less the common assumption that Microsoft skimped a bit on product testing before unleashing the Xbox 360 on the world. Anyone whose experienced the dreaded Red Ring of Death will tell you that. We have to admit though, we never realized that Microsoft had skimped this much. It seems Microsoft could have done a little more research before appointing their QA lead. See what we mean after the break.
Warning: it's suggested that only those with a sense of humor proceed past this point.

Still on my launch 360 here. Never had one problem with mine. I do have friends that have had problems but I must of got one from a good batch.
By the way my Xbox is on more than 20 hours a week watching movies and playing games.

There is no "good batch". Everything manufactured before a certain point has the same problem as the rest. It's just a matter of time/luck.

i felt that way too - then a year and a half after launch i got the 3 red rings....i was very upset. Sent it off and it took me around 6 weeks to get another one back to me (this was just before the extended warranty got announced) Along with my console I got a free month of LIVE - shame really, cause I was hoping for some points
