Not really their fault, but the company that makes the cheap main PCBs for the 360s (or so I heard). The boards bend back and forth depending on temperature (aka system on and system off), breaking certain circuits.

Cheap main PCB's? Designed by MS = MS fault. All PCB's will flex if you don't mount them correctly, or (hint hint) put a large heatsink on with no real support other than the PCB.

Agreed. Its down to MS to sort their suppliers problems and make sure their product is up to scratch!
