lol...i dont know about you but i wouldnt my xbox to get rrod over a gameYou don't have to worry about that, just get the PS3 version ;).[QUOTE="EazyD91"]This means Mass Effect 2 will be even better, YES! I guess you thought I was going to look at this as a bad thing right?Sands-0f-Time
And that's why I don't buy an xbox 360 , I have more than 60 ps3 games , could easily buy it but I refuse to go through the customer support and the 3rd 4th and God knows how much boxes.It's simple want my money?Make it as realiable as the ps3.

Really? 4 years old and still having hardware failures like crazy? Actually its the complete opposite, until Microsoft fixes the damn problem :?
so i'm sure you have up to date stats on the actual failure rate of the box?Nope but thats why there are sites that do this sort of crap other than polls ;)
so post some that aren't an informal poll.In all honesty the ultimate gaming combination would be a PC/PS3/and your choice of PSP or DS. Alot of games that come out for the 360 also go to the PC. Most exclusive PS3 games dont go to the PC. Thus you get the most games out of a PC/PS3 combo. You choose which handheld suits your needs. Thats the way to have the ultimate gaming combination as you so called.It's going to be an amazing game. This is why I have both a gaming pc and a 360. The ultimate gaming combination!

Go to google and search sites, go to ign, go to gamespot, etc. Besides E74 is still happening. Don't believe me, look it up. ;)

i'm not your buddy, so please don't refer to me as such. why should i look it up? burden of proof is on you. give me some up to date data that's not from someone's blog or informal poll.Just more proof that this game needs to come to the PS3 so that it can actually be played on a good console.Fatmanoncouchwill run fine on pc.

all these sites do is acknowledge E74 and RROD. not one of them gives any solid data or numbers, except Wikipedia (quoted below)... In February 2008, during the Game Developers Conference 2008, Microsoft announced that the "Failure rate has officially dropped", but without mentioning any specifics[18]. The same month, electronics warranty provider SquareTrade published an examination of 1040 Xbox 360s and said that they suffered from a failure rate of 16.4% (one in six). Of the 171 failures, 60% were due to a general hardware failure (and thus fell under the 3 year extended warranty). And of the remaining 40% which were not covered by the extended warranty, 18% were disc read errors, 13% were video card failures, 13% were hard drive freezes, 10% were power issues and 7% were disc tray malfunctions.[19][20] SquareTrade also stated that its estimates are likely much lower than reality due to the time span of the sample (six to ten months), the eventual failure of many consoles that did not fail within this time span and the fact that many owners did not deal with SquareTrade and had their consoles repaired directly through Microsoft via the much publicized extended RROD warranty. ...in other words, RROD exists. got it. i think we were all aware. and 16.4% is certainly less than %54.2.I am Lmao at the xbox fanboys. tryin to hide the truth: " I think of it as a good way". where the **** is the goodness? you are happy cause your crappy system overheated over a demo? wtf!
no, but i enjoy the games on it. you do realize that the overall higher rated games library is on the 360, right? http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pc5oLqpenpT78W87pMfgvBA&gid=3I am Lmao at the xbox fanboys. tryin to hide the truth: " I think of it as a good way". where the **** is the goodness? you are happy cause your crappy system overheated over a demo? wtf!

That just shows how kick ass Mass Effect 2 is going to be.

It's so good, YOU CAN'T PLAY IT. :? All the more reason to get the PC version, I guess.
This, im not buyin a game that could potentially brake my xbox. My warranty runs out this year too.PC version to the rescue! :P

Please...Show us how the 360's hardware is failing like crazy...Give us some solid proof.[QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"][QUOTE="imprezawrx500"] what good is it if you can't max out your console without it burning up? a cpu should be able to run at 100% without a problem. imprezawrx500If the console was enclosed then it is obvious that it would overheat. :| anything with half decent cooling can run with limited space without frying itself. the 360 has a terrible heatsink/fan design.

lol. Exactly, ME2 is full of so much win that the Xbox 360 just can't handle it. :PWell, at least we now know that the final product will make 360 explode due to sheer awesomeness.

Mass Effect fails, soooo overrated.sethman410Mass Effect was an awesome game. Sethman I really doubt you ever played it. You said in a previous thread that all you did was play the 360 at your friends house. Was this the game you played over there? I doubt it. I have no problem with Sony or the Playstation but you just spew Cow nonsense any chance you see fit, its pathetic.
not one of them gives any solid data or numbers, except Wikipedia (quoted below)... clone01
wikipedia is a garbage website and should never be used as a reference. maybe the links provided to the 'research' there can be. wikipedia's 'facts' are often pretty much about on par with the garbage in this forum, but niced up in terms of grammar.
anyway this thread has done a great job of reinforcing my theory that any post with the straight-faced smiley is never worth reading.
also me2 is going to be awesome
[QUOTE="RedruM_I"][QUOTE="thelastguy"]That's how braniwashed many lemmings are... no. but people on system wars act like its news every day by creating new threads. or posting a failure rate that is based on a vary minuscule poll. this is nothing new everyone knows it. its not thread worthy anymore. We should just have a rrod, overheating, or e74 related 360 sticky at the top. Cause we dont need more threads daily on something that is old.So overheating issues are a good thing?
Come on :lol:
xbox360isgr8t
No but the fact that it's still happening to this date is what makes it thread worthy, especially when its happening when playing a DEMO of one of the 360's major games. When the day comes that a sticky is made then everything will be moved there, until then think of these threads as that sticky getting filled up with heaps of stories and such. No one told you to come and comment in here, if this is how you felt then you should have just left everything alone.

This! = TRUE! Hey 'CaptainHarley' want me to go change something you don't like on wikipedia? :P I think my point has been made clear.LOL. Mass Effect was an awesome game! 360 hardware is just...no one word can describe it. Hopefully Microsoft doesn't make this mistake again.no... mass effect 2doesnt fail..its the 360 that fails..... all the time[QUOTE="sethman410"]Mass Effect fails, soooo overrated.ultraking

that's because IT IS a bad thing, and if it turns out to be pandemic, there will be a lot of angry xbox gamers.

That's why wikipedia gives away the sources for the information mostly. No reference is garbage just because. With wikipedia you have to be careful but you can still confirm or not pretty much everything you read there. You just don't have to be lazy.again i want to see some real figures on failure rate. we all know consoles made in 05 and 06 will be real high. Show me some figures on consoles that were made in 08 or this year. I bet the rate is not that bad. And come on we all know other consoles had problems. Ms dropped the ball but that is the price you pay for trying to get your console out first and it doesnt seem to be effecting there sales that badly. Hate them or love them it doesnt matter. Microsoft is milking people any harder than sony or nintendo or EA or activison.[QUOTE="xbox360isgr8t"][QUOTE="AdoringFan_"]

360 still has problems ahem E74, overheating, etc. Theres always news like these too you know
Still not seeing a failure rate, just a failure on that site...wheres the failure rate?On my first pro launch system and 2nd elite, I own 40 360 games, and no ps3 games *sold the ones i did have*And that's why I don't buy an xbox 360 , I have more than 60 ps3 games , could easily buy it but I refuse to go through the customer support and the 3rd 4th and God knows how much boxes.It's simple want my money?Make it as realiable as the ps3.
