I am going to take *most* of the letters in this sentence out of context, and jump to the conclusion that you are telling me that the Xbos 360's problems have been isolated to the wangs of their owners.

If you see that graph it never exceeded 10% on Q208 for RROD and this article states Fair Trade puts the number at 23.7% for ALL failures.
So where is the 54%?

One of my buddies out of the 8 or 9 that i know personally had to send his one (launch unit) back out of the two he owns.
Yeah, I call BS on the 54%.

54% still covers a huuuuge number of units. That means like 13 million units in the world are fine at the moment. Yours could just be one of them.
I have three friends whose Xboxes died, so I'm not so doubtful on the statistics. One of them had the launch model and his died like every other week. He's on his 4th(?) Xbox and now it's working fine.

You've never had an American car back in the 80s.

I still hear too many people who've purchased one in the last year and have had problem, but granted, you usually hear more from the people who have a reason to complain. In any case, this is good for people who still haven't jumped into this generation but with the new price drop, the PS3 is still looking at little too nice in comparison.

The AI in this story controls the entire city's infrastructure, and is programmed to always act in the best interest of humanity... which apparently involves killing lots of homeless people.
Of course, everybody is scratching their heads about how a computer programmed to protect it's citizens could possibly want to harm them, but brilliant scientist Austin James finally figures it out... The computer has found religion!!
While monitoring tv and radio signals, it has been listening to the local televangelist, and now knows that people go to "a better place" when they die. The city is overcrowded, and it's population stand in the way of progress, so why not kill two birds with one stone? Anyone you kill goes to heaven, leaving our good old AI to get on with it's secondary function of keeping the city running smoothly and eliminating waste.

Uh..... Isn't a reaper drone a DRONE and not a robot? Robots are defined as pilotless automatons, and drones are merely piloted by remote control, right?
