Nah, only a year -- Playstation 3 -- from a reliable company

 

That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

 

Maybe it's a bit exaggerated, but I don't ever remember having a problem like the X360s on my PS2 or any other Sony product for that matter. (I do remember my first generation PS2 overheating beacuase the fan screen was clogged with dust)

 

I remember my buddy having a Sony PC, he ran into tons of problems (spyware, virus related) and the Sony tech support was great.

I guess you never had to turn an original psx on its head to get it to read a disc. :S

I here by call today, Bash Adel151 for being a tard-day.

 

Back 2 topic:

 

That vote only represents what? Like 1% of all bitchy 360 owners out of [how many 360s sold] minus $126 loss per unit. The sale went pretty damn good if you look at the bigger picture that doesn't concern you

I actually had to do this, but I did many things that went against the warranty... For a long time I did the disc swapping trip to play burned PS games... then I added a chip to it... Figured that was what caused it. ^^

 

 

EDIT : Back on Topic.

Just a retard then.

sometimes

are u done yet?

I Expected alot more from the 360. I mean, Is the situation that bad. They obviously would have checked if ther was problems with them. A big loss for bill gates, Microsoft and a big dissapointment to Xbox Fans.

[Wizard]

I wonder how 3%-5% percent of the market is a big loss to Microsoft since they own half the world.

 

Scouring reports that it might not be the Xbox it self and more of the brick power thingy.

 

"Sure, if your Xbox 360 is crashing you could call up Microsoft tech support and get your new toy repaired or replaced — or you could take design flaws matters into your own hands and source out the root of the problem. And according to one Gamespot forumsgoer, apparently what’s causing these overheating Xbox 360 crashes isn’t the Xbox itself, but rather that monstrous power supply. So what’s a gamer to do? Increase the airflow over the thing by getting it up off the floor, and suspending it in the air with string — or if you’re not feeling like making a trapeze act out out of the thing, stick it on an open box so it can better emanate heat. Apparently this has been doing some good, but hey, remember that if it can’t sit on the ground as intended, it’s defective, so make sure you call ‘em up and get it sorted!"

"xbox 360 unstable and trashy after one second"

 

Yeah, no i'm not a fanboy.. in fact, i would buy a xbox for Ninja Gaiden, and maybe halo.. but not much more (yes, i do mean buying the OLD xbox, when i can get one for like 20 dollars from a pawn shop)

 

but still, i am NOT a fan of microsofts pracitces, games, or console.

 

i still wonder how nintendo manages to make the most sturdy consoles.

(nes, other than having to blow into cartridges, is still working fine to this day, snes works even better, n64 can be dropped and will work fine, game cube similar, however the ps line and xbox line? good luck with those if you've had them for over a year or if you accidently drop them.)

[olaf]

blowing in cartridges corrodes the pins, congratulations, you're ruining your games

[Weirdy]

the solution = more ventilation

 

the ppl who's xbux360's crashed must've just left it on the floor or in a very tight spot on an entertainment center
