Advantages: It makes a wonderful coaster
Disadvantages: Eats games, way too sensative to shock
I am so sick and tired of all these Box elitists hating on PS3 and Wii because they made the foolish mistake of spending 400-500 bucks on a piece of sh*t (myself included)
So rather then do a whole "He said, she said" rumor oriented speculations, allow me to show you all some very interesting links

XBox 360 drops 61% in sales as problems mount

Xbox 360's developer Microsoft extends warranty to 3 years as ALL 11.6 million systems released at the date of this article, will eventually break down.
Thats right, they are EXPECTING it to break down. Forget maybe, EXPECTING.

30% of the games you use will be destroyed or damaged through the XBox 360
That's right, the system will damage your discs and to top it off Microsoft will replace only the flag ship games like Halo. Last I checked there were only 10 games they would replace for hardware failure.
This means what?
- Sales are dropping (61% drop must mean something) like crazy, because people are getting smart to this crappy design
- 30% of your games will be destroyed or damaged, due to crappy design of the xbox *WHICH TO DATE HAS YET TO BE FIXED*
- Your XBox is EXPECTED to stop working within the first year. Read that again people, EXPECTED.
These are facts, rumors and complaints are not taken into consideration. I'm personally going to use my XBox as a pedestal for my yet to be purchased one day PS3 as a constant reminder.
Never again.
Summary: The race for the next gen system has not only just begun, but for Xbox has ended.

- 20/08/08 It's not a crappy design at all. The original one released years ago had a lot of problems, yes, and hardly any of them are about anymore. Microsoft did take in the majority of peoples 360s and repair them free of charge or in some cases replace them with the new 360s. I personally own a Elite 360 and have not yet experienced any problems... The people that get problems are the ones that hide their console away in a tv cabinet or on a carpet where it easily overheats, which would happen to pretty much anything electrical! Oh and i know loads of people who are in to gaming.. only one of them has a ps3... I didn't go with a PS3 because my PS2 broke twice, and Sony refused to fix it both times... We all have our opinions though! |

- 12/08/08 Ive never really been a fan of the xbox. i have a few friends who bought 360's and have had nothing but trouble with them. Which is one of the reasons i went for the ps3 and the wii. Great review! |
