Xbox diehard fan... converted

I used to be a diehard fan of Xbox (mostly because of HALO 2, and I didnt liked SONY's "arrogance" at the time in the industry), so I supported Xbox.

Well, when the 360 came I bought it in launch day... and in 6 months I got what everything have got on this console, the rings of death, in 2 weeks got a replacement, and after a couple of month, again the rings of death, so I sold it as scrap and got a new one, then the Elite came out with HDMI output... I was like WTF!?!?! so much money investe on a console so that at the end , the diehard fans that got it on launch and that got the Premium, find out that their console is now obsolete!) and now , for the ones that got the Elite, an ultimate is will be announced (probably)... OMG what a let down to Xbox supporters!, how can you trust a company that does this to loyal consumers, Im kind of confused if this are good bussines practices... constantly upgrading a console, I mean, I know is a good thing to improve, but what happens to the ones that got their console on launch, the true fans are the ones being ripped of.

And dont even let me start on my paranoid theory that MS designed the 360 with the rings of death on pourpuse, knowing their bussines practices, is it hard to believe that MS tought "ok, let me produce faulty consoles, knowing the market, they will buy a second, a third and some will buy even a seventh one!, and why not produce a new xbox models with new cooler and chip's that the first one dont have, some will upgrade their xbox's even when their currently ones work fine. and for the one that saysthe losses that MS have for repair consoles, whats the cost of repairing a unit vs the income for selling another to shis same customer?

Anyway, I decided to get a PS3, and little by little the console gained me, now I have all my music library and all my photos in the HDD of my PS3, for me the online is great (in MK2 it was like playing with someone sitting right next to you, no lag), an affordable blue ray, the remote play (something unbelievable and that I would have never imagine possible when I was a child), but most important... a reliable hardware, got converted, in my country a PS3 when I bought it was 900 Dlls... and I dont regret it.

Im not a fan boy... I still have my 360 (the third by the way), and still play halo 3 on it with my friends, just change my main support to PS3, when paople in work and friends ask me "what console should I get?", my answer used to be Xbox, now is PS3, and tell them, if you are buying an xbox just pruchase an extended warranty.

I can also guarantee with 100 percent certainty that Xbox will offer free online with it's next system.

Doubtful in the extreme seeing as Microsoft rake in so much money for doing so little. Xbox Live is more refined than PSN because it's been out a lot longer but at the core PSN offers the same quality of service (better in a lot of cases given the recent crashing of servers) but for free. All of this and yet people still willingly pay £40+ a year for USING the internet which they ALREADY pay for.

I have been seeing this kind of threads in here for some time but lately there have been more of them.jimm895

That is what motivated me to start this post, actually this happened to me like since July, but didnt felt like comunicating this kind of things, but latley I've been seeing this tread also, and Im glad that this is starting to happen
