The fail rate is high in general. My friend who's had his for a little over a year just had it die a little over a month ago. If you get one now make sure you get an intercooler.
One thing I should note with V2. It's not official yet, so it won't be out for a while. The reason (i assume) is M$ is gonna launch it at the same price. They just launched a bajillion units at christmas and they're gonna wanna sell up a lot of those before they release a better system.
BTW, I don't buy the warrantly on anything. I go with the free year most systems have. The money i've saved on warrantys for systems and tv's etc... more than makes up for anything that's broken.
