i'm kinda going to go with everyone else here and say you missed the point of what he was actually saying and just went into xbox fanboy modeSir Roflpwn said:
seriously read and understand what he's saying and then maybe you'll get it instead of just being a fanboy.
no you didn't even READ what he said, you just shot off on another tangent that was completely wrong and misguided.Sir Roflpwn said:
also them saying stuff about the 360 is because thing thread is ..... drum roll please .... about the failure rate of the 360 and not about the ps3. so that would imply you didn't even pay attention to the topic at hand if you thought everyone was just saying stuff about the 360
also saying you would be willing to pay for the ps3 if it was a lower price, you've probly already paid more for the 360 cause live is $50/yr and just after a year or two you have paid more for the 360 than the ps3
Actually they did a study and the XBOX help line was the most helpful by far. Plus, your worng about the average hours played the average is 5 hours not 3 and the ps3's is 3 hours. Also its not 10%! It was 40% still better than 360 but actually reasonable
"While the number is certainly high, when you think about it, it almost feels a bit low - 45.8% of Xbox 360s haven't ever broken once, which doesn't seem to fly with all the horror stories about everybody and their mother's 360s bricking"
Yep, because as we know, You can trust those horror stories. I mean, we all know if you go to Japan all you will see is pedophiles, bukakke, and vending machines selling used panties. Because the mass of horror stories obviously is completely reliable.
I mean, it can't at ALL be that the loudest ranters are complainers, while satiated people who are happy with their product meerly sit and enjoy it. Nope, not at all.

I'm the opposite side of the spectrum. None of my friends Xboxs red ringed once. Mine Red ringed ONCE, it was an original release model, it lasted me four years. And at that, unlike when my PS3 broke down, Xbox had my xbox there and back in less then 2 weeks, no hassle, with a nice one month gold subscription AND a tasty 3 year extended warrenty. Compare that to Sony, who took a MONTH to return my PS3, whose phone service was as useful as a piece of mold fruit carved into a phone, AND the fact they only extended my warrenty one year.mendez said:
What keeps me with Xbox is not fanboyism, but trust. When it comes to Microsoft's consoles, I have come to trust them to fix them. It was fun when my PS2s disk try stopped working after 2 hours of play (No prior playing before that) and they blatantly told me "You're screwed" (not in those words mind you
) Now.. I don't trust microsoft or EA for computer games, because on THAT note, they are shady at best XD
Oh yeah both shady and I still trust microsoft a little but this shows how much they care for what they make. I would like to know what happened between the Xbox and the 360. Xbox had like no problems to the 360's many.WhiteTiger225 said:I'm the opposite side of the spectrum. None of my friends Xboxs red ringed once.

I would like to see the death rate on G-cubes I went through FIVE from release to Wii, and I have never had any other console fail on me ever, and as I type this I just know that the universe will get a kick out of landing a meteor right on top my gaming setup.
Well, if we do a bit of research we will learn why.mendez said:Oh yeah both shady and I still trust microsoft a little but this shows how much they care for what they make.

Microsoft KNEW about the RRoD well before it's release. Due to this they continued to push back the release date until they could fix the problem... BUT... Fanboys and people who can't breathe without a next gen console who preordered these systems decided to whine and cry at the continued pushed back release date, forcing Microsoft to either release, or lose a lot of investment. You can thank those retarded Halo noobs for the first waves massive RRoDing
Actually I read in the OXM that Microsoft has made a solution, The Jasper Chip. It was stated that it could decrease the fatality rate in the 360 by a significant percent (I don't remember the number). But I don't need to fear about buying another I have a life time warranty on the sucker. Free repair FTW!
Oh and mine only red ringed once and mine is first generation amazingly it ring'd this year when I got it in March '06, that's more than 3 years. In addition I had to send it to the shop 3 times (although one of the times i realized that after sending it to the shop that there was nothing wrong with it other than i had set the AV settin to HDTV and not TV. I felt stupid...

I'm getting in and out of this thread like a fucking ninja...
In my experience dealing with Sony customer support (for a computer) versus Microsoft for my RRoD'd Xbox I would rather try talking Microsoft to repair an Xbox I trashed in a blender than deal with Sony for a legitimate claim. Just my experience. And I'll say what I have in the past: building a quality product is one thing, but even the best systems break. That's where customer service is vital. I'd rather deal with someone who will fix a problem than someone who won't
And now I'm out of here before this collapses in flames.
