Xbox 360 Defects - An Insider Story

I have know lots of people that have problems with their Xbox.. They end up getting stuck with it, because of the difficulty of finding someone to be able to repair it.  At least that is what happened to my brother, and his friends...

If I remember correctly, Microsoft has launched an investigation, and Dean's insider has been fired.
