Microsoft admits Xbox hardware problems
,----[ Quote ]
| MICROSOFT has finally admitted that there is a problem with the hardware on
| its Xbox 360 console which causes it to crash and show a multi-language kill
| screen.
|
| The E74 failure is getting so bad that Microsoft has amended its three-year
| warranty to cover the problem.

Microsoft extends Red-Ring-of-Death cover to fresh Xbox fault
,----[ Quote ]
| The Xbox 360 "E74 error" has become enough of a problem that Microsoft is now
| covering it under the console's extended three-year warranty reserved for
| RRoD failures. Redmond is also retroactively covering the issue, reimbursing
| customers who've already paid for E74-related repairs.

That's Microsoft 'quality'.
At least they are consistent.
