"Microsoft has admitted that every one of the 11.6 million Xbox 360 consoles sold in the past 19 months suffers from a design flaw that could cause the device to fail."

The firm will extend the warranty coverage from one to three years to compensate consumers, but does not plan to instate a recall or exchange programme.

Microsoft gaming chief Robbie Bach claimed in a conference call with financial analysts that the design issues surfaced recently.

"In the past couple of months we started to see significant increases in repair requests and call requests and significant attention from people," he said.

Microsoft did not disclose the exact nature of the problems, but said that it had made the necessary design changes and that units currently in stock will be upgraded.

The extended warranty period is limited to hardware failures indicated by three flashing red lights on the console. Users of consoles suffering from such problems are entitled to free repairs and shipping.

Microsoft estimated that the repairs will cost the company US$1.05bn to US$1.15bn, spilt evenly between the higher than expected return rates for existing consoles under the one-year warranty, and future returns under the extended warranty period."

Lol, microsoft. Discuss.

I was actually discussing this with Boe yesterday on MSN, apparently it's more then a simple "fault" I've heard the consoles are making people literally ill.

And yes, I've had nothing but problems with mine from day one, things from putting in a brandnew game and getting the error message "To play this game, Please put it in an Xbox 360 console" to the current problem of being forced to use a knife to open the tray.

Fuck Microsoft, I'm getting a Wii.

My xbox 360 is going to cost less than yours, not have this flaw, and also have a wider selection of games available than when you bought yours.

Mmm, late adopter ;o

In the mean time, I'll just keep playing what is now the "last gen".

Anyway, it was bound to happen.
I now just laugh at my friend who doesn't play since his little brother got his Wii.

I am a victim of this problem, so I called them up because my warranty has expired and I have not moved my Xbox 360 ONCE. They said I had to pay £80 for delivery....WTF.

I opened it up, and the the stuff that helps the heat sync with the heat was cheap crappy stuff, so I applied some good stuff to it, fuck'n fixed. Microsoft was too cheap to add general heat components to the 360.

If that is pointed to me, I love the 360 and the Wii and I think the 360 game lineup is awesome too.
