Microsoft has lemmings by their sacks, 3 year warrenty was a marketing move...

1st. Microsoft does NOT extend your warranty if you send it in for RRoD repairs

2nd. Anybody I've heard of with 1 RRoD ends up with 7 or 8. The refurb RRoDs easier then it did originally.

3rd. The 3 year warrenty ONLY covers the RRoD. Any other issues with the console fall under the 1 year warranty and wil NOT be fixed.

Inflated sales number give the skewed view of a larger market share. Makes the console look better then it actually is. If they've sold 30 million consoles but 15 million of those are people buying the console a second time. their market share is only half what they report. But these number still make the 360 look better then the PS3. This was a strikly anectdotal arguement here. AS in, NOT fact.

If the numbers are so inflatedby people re-buying 360s due to RROD, then we wouldn't see such a huge gap between software sales of the 360 and PS3 most likely.

Whereas the 360 is pretty mch stricktly a gaming console as well as USUALLY having the better version of multiplats. IMO it makes sense the 360 would be seeing a higher attach rate.

Also, factor in cost. After buying a PS3 you're too damn poor to afford anything to go with it, lol.

Doesn't anything under warranty if sent in for repair get the same treatment? My brother had same troubles with a dishwasher he bought.

I don't even own a 360(PSwii owner here). None of my posts are fact. This is just why I think MS hasn't fixed the RRoD yet. Way to make me look less credible though:evil: lol.

ATTENTION PEOPLE!! RROD is a conspiracy! Here's how it went down. Bill Gates needed more money. Sony was doing fine with the PS so MS decided to try. They did OK but the over all plan failed. They needed more money. See Bill Gates wasn't planning on donating his profits to Charity. What he was creating was a laser cable of eating away a particles at a subatomic level, a deathray. The tech is in place but first he needs a rocket and alot of cool metal to complete his death star and put it in space. All he had to do was create a great console with one flaw. 50% would fail. A 3 year warranty would encourage people to buy one without fear of it dying. If successful they would sell 100mil Xbox 360s and finish Bill Gates' death star. Only 1 problem, Nintendo was selling much more and preventing MS from succeeding. They then would use the money they made to buy out the media. They could then Nuke Nintendo and have the media blame Iraq. No questions asked. Now all they had to do was win the Console war! Too Easy :Pgamefan274

You heard it here first folks, MS is evil for spending $1 billion on the RROD issue :lol:. What did Sony do about all the broken PS2s last gen...funny how cows can forget that so soon.

I agree completely TC, a couple of friends bought new 360s when they got the RROD. They had them for less than three years when that happened but the problem is that in my country 90% of the people import their consoles since buying one here is ridiculously pricy. So they had their warranties invalidated. I know that in most latinamerican countries the same or similar things happen so it is my believe that 360s sales numbers are way inflated.RedruM_I

None of my friends has ever done that when they got the RROD. But hey, cool story bro!!!!

[QUOTE="-Pred-Alien-"]Losing $1 billion mustve been a lot of fun for MS then:roll:The__Havoc

Fanboys complete brainwashed themselves.

As clearly stated in my original post I'm NOT implying that MS created the RRod intentionally. But they did know about it. And if they wanted to fix it, they could have by now. I also stated that anybody believing otherwise is clearly a lemming...Now THAT was implying something.

Also Sony didn't extend any warrenty to cover the DRE's BUT they did fix the problem. I never forgot anything. You seem to think that the PS2 was plagued with the DRE for it's life, when it wasn't, unlike a certain MS branded console we all know and love/hate.
