The PS3 is a better investment if you ask me.

I cna see that this poll is skewed. 5000 people on a few websites. Bad news and opinions travel faster than good ones. The people who have no problem say "Bleh, my Xbox is fine and I don't care." but the people who have had RRoD say "The Xbox is crap it breaks, I must rage!".

Therefore, the poll is skewed. Negatively.

Exactly, the Xbox is fine, mine is from X-mas '08. Only problem I had was overuse on our hottest day of the year (it was HOT) and I had to turn it off to cooldown.
