Xbox 360 Played x5 more than Wii x5 more likely to fail that PS3

According to a poll carried out by Game Informer of some 5,000 readers, the Xbox 360 is played some five times more than the Wii, but has a failure rate that five times as much as that of the PlayStation3.

* Usage: 40.3% use their Xbox 360 console for three to five hours a day. Only 37% of PS3 owners play for this long. Compare this to Wii users, where 41.4% use their console for less than an hour a day.
* Console death: The Xbox 360 suffers a whopping 54.2% failure rate, compared to 10.2% for the PS3 and 6.8% for the Wii.
* Repair time: Seems it takes about a month to get an Xbox 360 repaired, compared to around a week for the Wii and PS3.
* Customer loyalty: Only 3.8% of Xbox 360 owners say that hardware failures mean that they won’t buy another Xbox!

You have to take these numbers with a grain of salt because it’s hard to verify such a survey, and ballot stuffing could skew things. That said, the numbers for the failure rates are staggering. If things really are (or at least have been) this bad, then I’m surprised the Xbox 360 didn’t sink the same way the Zune did.

The failure rates are scary, and what makes them worse is that I know of several people who have been through several Xbox 360 consoles … one failure is one thing, multiple failures must really suck, especially if each repair takes a month.

Remember talk of the Wii being nothing more than two GameCubes stuck together with duct tape? Of course you do. Some even said that the Wii is a GameCube with a motion sensitive controller. But what if I told you that Nintendo started to believe the same? Now that, you wouldn't believe I'm sure, but you will shortly.

WII Internet law

Daithí Mac Síthigh, a lecturer in IT and Internet law at the University of East Anglia (UEA), says current legislation may not be the most appropriate way to regulate 'wifi' sharing – where a network is used by more WII than one person - and needs clarifying so it does not discourage people from using wireless and hold back provision of community wifi schemes.

This could also have implications for the UK Government's commitment to ensure that every home in the UKWII has broadband access by 2012, as set out in its Digital Britain report in June. A range of technologies, including wireless, will be used to deliver the basic broadband.

Scientists at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton working in collaboration with researchers from the University of Birmingham, Royal Holloway London and IFM-Geomar in Germany have found that more than 250 plumes of bubbles of methane gas are rising from the seabed of the West Spitsbergen continental margin in the Arctic, in a depth range of 150 to 400 metres.

Methane released from gas hydrate in submarine sediments has been identified in the past as an agent of climate change. The likelihood of methane being released in this way has been widely predicted WII
