Posted by The Ori
Independent warranty company SquareTrade says the 16 percent Xbox 360 failure rate it reported earlier this month is just a starting point and that the actual figure could be higher.
For its study, SquareTrade tracked 27 Xbox 360 Elites, 57 Core systems, and 956 Premiums (No arcade systems tested). Out of the 171 failure claims reported (60 percent), a whopping 102 were general hardware failures (3-Lights of Death). Of the other 69 claims:
- 18% were disc read errors.
- 13% were video card failures.
- 13% were hard drive freezes.
- 10% were power issues.
- 7% were disc tray malfunctions.
