I owned a 360 from the UK launch and since that I have had immense fun with it from that date to present but there are things that microsoft know about and do nothing to fix. I amnot a fanboy or troll in any way, just a married man with amortgage,my own business and a son of my own.These are my reasons for switching to PS3 and it is not something I did out of spite or anger,it was out of PRIDE. Plain and simple!
1: I know everyone goes on about it but hardware reliability, I have been through 5 360s since launch and all were from brand new from my local GAME store,not microsoft's refurbished (regurgitated) trash. Yet still they broke down with RROD and disc drive problems. They were well ventilated and kept clean under a dust cover when not in use yet still this happened. Totally unacceptable.
2: Customer service with microsoft is a joke,dealing with foreign call centres is not how to treat customers and I am not racist in any way but come on! Hanging on a phone line foe eternity and then talking to someone who just runs you through a checklist for common problems off a computer screen is not how to treat your customers these days. I can check these things myself off the XBOX website.
3: Buying microsoft points that are not based on real currency is a smart way to fool you into not realising how much you are spending and then when the console gets replaced I can only play them when connected to live!
4: Live at the moment is a JOKE and it is something we pay for,trust me sony's PSN is catching up.
5: HDDVD is dead,admit it. Thats why microsoft pulled the 360 ultimate just before CES 2008. I know they will supply a blu-ray drive at some point but I already have one built into my new console.
Sorry for this RANT but like I said at the start it comes down to male PRIDE. I am sick of being put over a barrel my MS, I know sony will try to at some point in the future but this time I am ready for these corporate types. The thing is The PS3 is everything the 360 is not at the moment for me.
