Microsoft Corp. has logged a huge 1.06 billion USD (130 billion yen) charge due to warranty claims for its “Xbox 360” game console. This is a frightening amount of money for engineers engaged in product design.

Amid current circumstances, where consumer electronics manufacturers often recall their products, this is no longer someone else’s affair. We would definitely like to know what caused Microsoft to log such a large cost.

Microsoft itself, however, refuses to reveal details of the malfunction that has forced the company incur huge expenses. So, we can only investigate the cause by ourselves. Nikkei Electronics thereby attempted to analyze the Xbox 360’s heat radiation system, having a thermal design expert cooperate.

Microsoft needs to step up how they make hardware the warranty it not going to solve the hardware issues they are having. But hopefully they will resolve it.

forreal, they gotta step up their hardware-game.
however, they have a great warranty system.. which has just been extended to something like 3-4 years which is a longg time for one.. my roommate had his warranty run out and 3 days later he got the ring of death and they didn’t give a shit lol he paid the price for a new harddrive

microsoft is going to end up losing the console war lol

[white]

LMAO explain how you think that’s possible
the ps3 is lowering prices already cause it’s not selling
the 360 is by far the best system out right now and that’s not debateable lol
