I dont know if the article was referrring to the US $1 billion dollar repair allocation MS original has assigned to fixing RROD 360s. But it reeks of sloppy journalism without any souce to back up a pretty wild claim.

Once again I feel like I have to walk on eggshells when I talk about anything against the PS3. Sony fans, I know the PS3 is getting some good games, I'm just saying the 360 has a great library right now. Keep it cool, don't get upset over one little comment. Everyone else, keep it real!

there are also this 1 red light of death (1 light on lower right quadrant) incident where symptom are exactly the same as 3rrod. guess what? i told them the truth that i got 1 light while everyone online does otherwise. they end up charging me 100 usd because their 3 yr 3rrod warranty doesnt cover 1 rrod .
now if at the end of this gen that 360 is the loser, than we know the main factor or possibly the only factor why.

Although its a good thing that they might be dishing out that much money just for repairs, for ROD, hoping that it doesn't happen to me again..sigh, well happened 4 times, having the console out for this long with this problem still not fixed just makes me think y i stuck this long for this.
