Biggest fuck up ever? So sony fixing there online with added security features is worse than microsoft releasing a console with a blatant hardware problem that affects over %50 of the systems then expects you to buy an elite to make sure you don't get it?jakefongloo said:I'm not a fanboy I love games not consoles and it doesn't matter what I play them on, but I can't let this slide.Macrobstar said:wow the 360 fanboys are having a field day with this, its a good job 360 doesn't have any hardware failures... oh wait
Nothing has been confirmed, but lets assume worse case scenario.
Xbox warranty is 1 year (3 years for the 3 red rings)
The most you have to sacrifice is 1 month till you get it back or $100 and one month if you're out of warranty
Xbox comes out approx 4 months (I believe...) before the Wii and PS3
Xbox releases the elite edition as a base for every Xbox past November 2008 releases
If you're Xbox broke and didn't want wait a month (Again don't know why you can't play on something else or someone else's)
You pay $300 for an elite console and I believe a 100 or 250 gig harddrive
It doesn't break again I have never had it broken and I don't personally know anyone else who has I do know a fair amount of people who play.
All in all it was a mess but the month of waiting is countered by the fact it comes out 3-4 months before the rest of them
PS3 costed $600 out of the gate for the good stuff (2 xboxs with the good stuff)
I keep somewhere between $2000-$4000 in my bank at any one moment for emergancies
If I had a PS3 that money could very well be gone
Get over yourself this is the biggest fuck-up since...gee I guess it is the biggest fuck-up period.
Now is not the time to be a fan-boy. This is the time gamers must unite. A hacker (presumably a gamer too most hackers are gamers) just turned our favorite past-time into an attack onto ourselves. We need to lynch this asshat!
And dude its not a big deal I was just making a joke I own all the systems and play on my 360 a lot (Check my profile), I love all of them, this is not some massive disaster that can't be joked about I was merely reminding everyone that no system is perfect, so calm down and stop spewing statistics everywhere, everyone knows the console you think is best comes down to personal preference
