My xbox story.

[ExcruciationX]

Its still ridiculous. Im not going to buy from a company that is that pathetic. They cant even make a console that lasts a day in some cases.

I hope I don't jinx the 360 just by saying this.

My console has been working fine. No problems to speak of.

[Accordion]

as i said earlier, the 3 year warranty is pathetic because you still need to send your console away. You should not be without your purchase for a matter that is beyond your control.

Again, is the three year warranty renewed when you have it fixed?

[Triv1um]

Yeah, buying a console you know might have to be sent away is stupid.

You want the security, like the PS3. I havent heard of any problems with the PS3.

The only thing that slightly excites me about the PS3 is a new Twisted Metal game. Why buy a system if you can't play any good games. Its worth taking the risk for all the good 360 games.

this argument is based on fanboy opinion and is very wrong.[and old]

Resistance, Motorstorm, Uncharted, Ratchet, Warhawk, Pixeljunk Monsters, Everyday Shooter, FLow, plus all the third party titles provide plenty of games, all of high quality. CoD4, DMC4, Burnout, UT3, are all great third party titles that dont suffer the usual developer/publisher laziness that results in poor ports. All but CoD4 are actually superior on the PS3.

Team ICO project 3, MGS4, and LBP should be reason enough for [real] gamers in the coming months.

I wake up a couple of days ago and find much to my despair that my 360 would no loner read a disc. "sniper if you are reading this, You where right. I suppose most 360's will die eventually" It was one of the new falcon units. It was a premium sku that came with the marvel ultimate alliance and forza motor sport game that no one ever plays.

So I called microsoft and they wanted to send me one of their little boxes and of course I had no choice. So they gave my some sort of number to write down while I waited for the box to come in the mail.

It's a well known fact that shadow is impatient. So I decided to dig around, until I found my receipt much to my joy I discovered that the 90 day return policy hadn't expired yet on my original purchases, So I decided to take it back to the store but sadly they didn't have any premium units left. all they had was one arcade unit and one elite unit.

I asked the woman at the counter if I could swap the hard drive in the elite for my original hard drive because it had about three hundred dollars of content on it. The woman asked her manager, the manager wouldn't allow it and so my impatience got the best of me. " I reasoned, Well the elite does have the 120 gig hard drive. So I decided to go ahead and swap it for the elite unit. Which cost me nothing to swap, The manager said it was nice of me to be so patient with the new clerk who literally took two and a half hours getting to me because it was a really long line and it was her first day on the job.
So The extra cost of the elite was waved

At this time. I was unaware that I could simply sign into live and reclaim my gamer score. That was the first bit of good news I had today. Later on I decided to browse market place to look at all the content I thought I had lost.

Strangely. All those glorious little check marks that indicated I had purchased those items before where still there because I had migrated my gamer score over to my new elite.

I'm so happy. Now I have a brand new elite with the 120 gig hard drive. All my market place content, my full gamer score. And all I lost in this transaction was two and a half hours of my life i'll never have back and all my game saves. Not bad.

Its been a good day

Yeah, those little ticks kick ass. I only have @ 1.5 G of space left because of my 2 Xbox Originals, but I might get Ninja Gaiden, so I can delete one of the old ones, keep my save and get it again some other time (obviously with the MONSTER download time, but hey-ho).

PS3 is a little weak on games now but it wont last.. Its already turning around. Pfft at least it will run for a few minutes..

I'm amazed that you could say something this stupid.

[SSaxdude]

My launch day 360 finally crapped out last December. Luckily I got it back early January.

[Shadowblind]

this, sound awful. And i didnt want to say it. it makes me sound like a whiny 360 fan boy. or a flat out liar

either way, it seems my xbox story didnt end last night
this morning I go to log on to my shiny new elite. and the damned thing is already red ringed I was so disgusted and angy. I threw it all back into it's box took it to the store and got my money back...

I have yet to decide if I will get another 360. i'm still very upset about my recent luck with them. I may just get a ps3, or better yet buy a whole bunch of wii stuff..

im not dissing the 360. while I had mine and it worked I loved it more then I have ever loved a console. But they are just too delicate.. How can a console like the 360 be aimed at the hard core gamer?

A hard core gamer plays his games as long as he wants untill 'he decides to stop.
The 360 it seems just wasnt designed to do all nighter sessions..
And I'm sorry, But if I spend four hundred and seventy two dollars on a console, it had damned well better play a ******* game as long as I want to play it!


no... no.. we are hard core gamers not baby siters, we should be able to play the hell out of our consoles for as long as we want and not have to worry about the read ring of death..

I refuse. no more 360's for me.


my sig,.. I will keep it as a reminder of my lost love the 360.

4290. it is. And 4290. It shall always be.

I've had mine since its release and I'm only on my second, and my brother fixed my old 360 in a snap. Don't forgo the greatest gaming system ever made just yet.

oh and gdf, Ninja Gaiden is DEFINATEly worth it, if a little annoying
