Good Bye Microsoft
« on: August 09, 2009, 01:20:42 AM »
So today I went to flip my 360 on to play COD4. Guess what! It wouldn't turn on! Not the red rings it wouldn't even power up! Unplugged everything, tried different cable everything. It has died. My 7th 360 to die except the other 6 where RRoD's, this wasn't. So Microsoft won't repair it for free! They would charge me $170 plus shipping! No thank you! Good bye Microsoft, my days gaming with you have ended. Hello Sony, you now are the maker of my console of choice! Hello to a bright and happy future in supporting Sony, Nintendo, and the PC for all my new gaming purchases! The Microsoft Xbox division is dead to me.

I've had the same one for two years. Do you bounce it off the walls or something? Keep it on carpet? Pour orange juice on it? Perhaps stick your four leaf clovers in the fan?

I have had the same one for 2 years. Last time it RRoD'ed was right before Mass Effect. Before that it was a RRoD here and RRoD there, here a RR there a RR, everywhere a RRoD. Haha, I got all my 6 RRoD's in that! haha

Blu-ray movies actually don't count as real games even if they have cheap flash games built into some of them. Just saying.

Uncharted 2 on October 13th.... That is all I have to say.

 PS3 has a WAY better lineup of games coming than any of the other consoles right now.

Actually, with gaming trying hard to outdo movies pretty soon they might as well be the same thing.

Sell your Wii and you'll be able to afford those games.

Out of pure curiosity, who plays movies in their xboxes?

I've seemed to notice a trend that they die much faster if you play movies in them.

Even better new, Call of Duty 4 is already out on the PC... along with the rest of the series.

I am continually surprised how much crap people put up with when it comes to the Xbox. This is the world where people fly into fits of rage over 10 cents, yet endless number of people who are on their nth Xbox just keep sucking it down.

What the hell is going on here?!?!

On another note COD4 is pretty awesome, but it would suck to play that on a control pad.

That 360 is the only survivor of the red ring holocaust.

Everyone I know who has a 360 is on #2, minimum. Some are on #3-4.

My brother's Xbox just RROD'd the other week. It lasted a little over 2.5 years. Of course, my Gamecube still works and that's what almost 8 years old....

Microsoft is just lucky they launched first and Sony charged a soul for PS3 when it came out, otherwise they'd be SOL with this crap.

I heard that's the case with all consoles that do play movies, the drive motor isn't designed to handle that.

Oh, Nintendo, you knew what was right for us all along. Are people who don't use friend codes going to start being killed off next?

That said, the only time I've had anything Nintendo break was my NES after like 15 years. The only non-Nintendo console I've had was a PS1, and one day that decided not to turn on, several years before the NES did, mind you. The PS1 breaking was what me go with a GameCube over a PS2, that and Wind Waker. I can't imagine going through 7 consoles, the one PS1 made me abandon Sony.

You realize that you don't have to take it anymore. You are setting us gamers back a whole generation, that is why we have Battered Gamers Shelters.
