Shane Kim - "We will ship ten million Xbox 360's before our competitors ship one"

How it that an outrageous statement?

I just sick of eveyone trying to cut him down. He has done a lot of good. Thats more then what we can say about Ken or
Reggie. By the way if you didn't notice he is old. What does running have to do with being a man? To me being a man is about being responsible and doing the right thing.

youre right, his company broke countless monopoly laws,Microsoft has not been not convicted of that yet made a disgusting OS called windows that is full of holes,Every os has holes, if every one used mac then there would be more problems on the mac then on windows. The hackers atack the OS with the most users. and memory/resource management problems. has countless fragment problems,That is true. and he stole it from Mac. Mac stole from xerox so yeah not even Steve Jobs plays nice. thank god he was there to make computing horrid If you know what to do it is far from horrid and break laws to make money,Microsoft has not been not convicted what a great man.

By the way what OS are you using?

my free XP, that is currently suffering from countless random holes that i am having to fix. had a problem with system restore not working, i cant shut down normally, it has started shutting down at random, all this started after loading a video driver. i have gone through cleaning up my .dll files, and fixing all the other random holes it has made. what a great OS. if i could play the games i want on anything else i would. thats like asking if someone drives a car even though they hate them. not many choices in america. im a firm supporter of linux, i just cant play my games on it.

I'm border-line Lemming (not really, just leaning more towards it) and I approve of this thread. It's funny to hear what these guys say about their consoles.

Wow that sucks for you. Where did you get that driver from? Do you have the installation disk or just the system recovery disk. If you have the installation disk then just reinstall windows. It's not the best thing to do but it is a very good last resort.

i cleaned most of it up already, i got a buddy that has coded a good tracker for windows that i will probably use. at least i fixed the system restore, and the fact that it wouldnt shut down. fact is i just reinstalled it about a month ago, and its already messed up again. i have been using MS OS's since dos, and i hate them all. i really want to get out of their terrible OS, but dual boot is my only choice at this point.

That's good to know. I use to install all kinds of crazy **** back in the day. There was one point when I would install windows once a week. But know I am more careful and I now have less problems. I also dual boot (xp and suse). What other OS do you use?

That is true. That worst one has to be 4d graphics. I mean come on graphics that go through TIME.

ha, technically they have a tech demo that explains it. i was confused at first too. but they show that things age in the game. real time aging was rather impressive, and it satisfies the time dimension that is never in games per say.

They should have said that characters now age. The way they made it sound was that that graphics bend space and time.

funny you say that, i read in gameinformer today that Fallout 3 (still scares me that bethesda is making this) the father in the game ages, and some other people age, and your weapons age, and break and show signs of it with use.

The quote by Bill about 640Kb was joked at in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. One of the guards said there new SUV had a 640Gb mp3 player standard. Another guard "that's insane!" "What do you mean? Mine's almost full."

You guys gotta have goals. Im never gonna die... :shock:

Now, THAT is a lofty goal.

Do you really want to never die, though?

Could you imagine it?

What if they stop playing games in the future? :?

Lol it is one hell of a goal eh? I think if games werent available in the future I would do a "real time" grand theft auto game. ;)

Peter Moore on the 360 failures - "You Know, Things Breaks"

squirrel337

That is not a outrageous claim.

I meant to out statements instead of claims.

True. They need to fix that heat problem. Just put it in a bigger case and put more fans. I think I saw a pic of a fixed 360 with 2 extra heatsinks.



2 extra heatsinks times x million...
this stuff is expensive.
