Popular Console Repair Service Refuses Xbox 360s

We posted yesterday about a DailyTech report that exposed the fact of an Xbox 360 33% failure rate. If you still had doubts that such a claim was true, DT is now reporting that popular console repair service, Micromart, has decided to no longer repair 360s due to a design flaw in the product and the overwhelming demand. Though not explicitly stated, they may still repair the console if it’s a non-RROD related injury.

“We were seeing about 30 a week before we pulled the plug on the service,” said Micromart’s Jeff Croft to GamesIndustry. “We saw it over a period of several months and it was just getting worse. It began towards the end of last year. Once the twelve month warranty finished then we started to see more and more machines being sent in to be looked at.”
