Those 360 numbers have to be skewed since so many people bought more than one to replace broken ones. I know I bought 2 but one of those got replaced twice, so I actually have been through 4. Finally got a winner with the last one, a Jasper.

Oh I forgot I got "gifted" a broken one that MS wouldn't warranty and sold that one off for spare parts. But since I didn't buy it, and it never worked, I don't count that one.
