Microsoft admits flaw with xbox 360

It is weird how Microsoft for some reason will never state this to America. They have to make it secretive and put it on a dutch tv show.

After more than thousand complaints of Xbox 360 users, Microsoft has admitted Saturday night that there is a flaw in the Xbox 360. That happened in the Dutch television programme "Kassa". The flaw causes CDs and DVDs that are spinning in the player to get damaged.

According to a press declaration from Microsoft, the Xbox 360 can cause scratches. Initially the company denied to be guilty for the damage. Microsoft kept saying for months that the gamers themselves are responsible for scratches on the discs.

After research on the Xbox 360 it was determined that the scratches occur by the lack of a so called "bump pillows" at the lens. From the data of "Kassa" it would concerns a worldwide serial of approximately 1 to 2 million Xbox 360 consoles.

In the consumer programme "Kassa" Microsoft promised to offer aid to users who have complaints in the form of repairing. It is however not possible to get a new console.

 TCHBO. Or whatever.

I dont see it anymore, but previously you had listed "It's better to burn out then to fade away" as a Kurt Cobain quote. I just want you to know that Kurt Cobain was quoting Neil Young in his suicide letter, a line from the song "My My, Hey hey (Out of the Blue)

Sigh.. I can't believe you made out sony as the bad guy here.

   I can't believe cows still bother even trying yo offer any input here. I owned the bovine nation last week.

   FACT: MS has acknowledged hardware problems and is doing something about 14 months after launch.

   FACT: It took Sony 5 years to acknowledge their hardware problems and it only happened AFTER a class action lawsuit was filed and they were forced to.

  You cows can continue to add your pointless spin (bu bu bu teh DRE's weren't as bad) but it doesn't change a thing.

  BTW, cows, you continue to spew out the lie that the 360 has the highest failure rates in the history of the industry. They're not even close. You have no legs to stand on, so just leave with any iota of dignaty that your self delusions provide...

It is my fault for stating the news? And that it is my fault that microsoft is somehow not trying to fix the problem? And I am at fault to be angry? I can't believe how you could call out cows for being the problem here. 

Also dignity is spelled with an i in the middle not an a.

Owned? No legs to stand on? Self delusions?

Seek help. These are video games we're talking about. MS doesn't care about you. Sony doesn't care about you. Nintendo doesn't care about you. If you were a less obnoxious person, you might have friends. One of your friends might own a competing console. Realizing that you can have friends with different tastes without your head exploding is a pretty amazing, and freeing, experience. Give it a try. 

P.S. The "bu-bu-bu" stuff is ridiculous and unoriginal by now, too. 

P.P.S. LINUX > WINDOWS, PWNT! 

wow its ownage that MS admits that discs can be scratched if your an idiot that wants to dance with your system while a game is playing

yet if this was sony talking "its the users fault for putting a game in it"

when in reality THIS IS A PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE USER, and MS takes the intire blame, how nice of MS, what a good company

Exactly. Its only claimed to affect 10 - 20% of users.  SO chances are you're not in the mix

Wrong. The drive inside the X360 is faulty. It doesn´t have the requirements to play games totally safe. 10 to 20% of the Xbox 360´s scratch discs without something done wrong. How is that the users fault? Microsoft admitted in Kassa that you do not need to move- or do anything wrong with you're Xbox 360 for games to get scratched. Just because you don't have a problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I've had two 360's send back because of disc scratching and still have two unplayable copies of Gears of War.
