Was expecting this
I was expecting ZDNet to have their headline ready to go the second anyone saw any problem. I forgot the actual percentage point, but it is expected that _all_ consumer electronics have some failure rate. It is pretty low (roughly 0.1% or something), but of course the ABMers will have the "Crash reports hit Xbox 360" and "...crash reports are streaming in" doom-and-gloom "reporting" ready. Spare us, please.

Actually, I was expecting the headline sooner, seeing that if 1 in every 1000 is expected to fail, ZDNet should have been able to sniff that out, now would they not?

C'mon ZDNet, why so slow? You know you need to feed the OMG-MS-IS-TEH-EVIL trolls or they will shrivel up and die on us.

So now you have rattled their cage.

Let's see them squirm...
