3 red lights!

I have been sort of waiting for this. My son came to me saying that his 360 had the 3 rings of death. After trying the MS support tips, they agreed to an RMA 6 months after the 1 year warrantee expired, so hopfully, UPS will pick it up over the next few days. Apparently, the warrantee is extend to 3 years for the 3 red rings, and only this.

This leads me to wonder about the general reliability of these machines. Surely, if the red eye is inevitable, which it seems it is, then surely there's a problem with the design? Surely MS can't survive in such a competitive market when a majority of their machines fail??

I'm glad they have agreed to repair.replace, but surely questions have to asked?
