(sorry for quoting you out of order btw)
well while this statistic point is probably very true, i do know a lot of people who had 360's bricked, at least 6 of the 9-12 people i know who have one. I live in england too which isnt exactly the warmest country in the world. Heres an interesting statistic for you tho, one of those 6 i mentioned above, died within the first 30 days of its use

Even an member here (i think he still is) from america is on his third 360 now. l0rd_sn0w is his name, owner of emunext.
