So what is your problem with the xbox360?

Most of the time i see people wining about the xbox360 , Xbox live isn't free , Kinect sucks , No exclusives .

My only problem (its not even big for me) are the exclusives , XBL is worth paying for , really , If you don't want kinect don't buy it . not that i will but i may in the future. Now i would like to see some exclusives , now Reach , Fable 3 , and Geow3 are coming and these are some good exclusives , but i would like to see some Banjo , Kameo games even new Ips . Now don't tell me get a ps3 , i don't really care about PS3 exclusives , maybe a bit about U3 but nothing else. Most my games are multi-plat and 2011 is packed with those. So please MS make me happy and announce something soon!

- Xbox live fee

- Disc scratching

- Faulty hardware overall because they wanted to release it ahead of competetion

Other than that I don't really have a problem with my 360.

not fond of its controller personally, nor do i like the idea of paying for xbl when its just basically P2P like the PSN sure you get some extra's but all i wanna do is blast CoD for a quick bit when i decide to.I just cant justify paying the cash for the amount i would use it maybe a few months back i could but not now that im not in the house as much cause of college,work and generally out on the pull xD.

Nothing at all right now and I don't particularly care about the XBL fees. My one problem is what the hell do we get after Gears of War 3 that isn't Kinect filth? Nothing. They need to show more games. Worst case scenario is that I play Halo: Reach all year though, which I can do.

i'd say more new IPs.

i also hate the proprietary hard drive.

This and the lack of exclusive games. They should have called it multiplatbox.

It doesn't boot due to a little thing called RED RING OF DEATH. I've been through 3 Xbox 360s, and the last one RROD, so I smashed it to pieces with a pole, and dumped it on the desk of my local GAME. Nyuuuu

the rockband instruments and dlc don't transfer to ps3 so I can't trade it in

2 problems:

1. i pay 30£ a year for XBL

2. it has no wifi. while I got a fantastic deal( wifi adapter+DVD remote+3 moths subscription+800 MS points for 50€) i still think its pretty sneaky that it doesn't come with wifi

other than that its great:)

LIVE is going up in price starting November 1st for US, UK, Cannda & Mexico...sooooo that kind of sucks

Just LIVE fees.

Otherwise great system.

1. Doesn't play Blu-Ray movies

2. Charges for basic online features that should be free

3. Makes you buy their ridiculously overpriced 1st party devices like Hard Drives, special cablesand WIFI adaptors

...just for starters...

Most of my complaints are the result of me being a cheap bast***, but they apply still in my situation.

1. Unreliable hardware, I'm on my 6th X360 already (although I've heard nothing but praise for the Slim 360)

2. Lack of space on the HDD (I have the 20gb drive that launched standard and obviously if I chose to upgrade this wouldn't be an issue), plus the HDD is funky to work with in the first place (which I guess is supposed to nudge consumers to purchase everything via XBL rather than import their own stuff, to which I say F-you MS)

3. No Blu-ray drive or HDMI slot (I'm a day one owner)

4. This is really nit-picky but the inability to reassign controllers in-game has always been annoying IMO, so that too

EDIT:

5. Forgot this completely, but saw somebody else post it: no pre-installed wifi

6. Charges for XBL and rechargeable battery packs (honestly, batteries? WTF MS?)

I agree for lack for exclusive games except for gears halo snd fable. It's hard for developers to do though when they would rather love to make money from all 4 platforms. Also it's hard to find them for the PC nowadays.

Propietary hardware.

XBL fees.

Microtransactions.

Limited exclusives.

Faulty hardware.

Bloated software.

Kinect shovelware.

My biggest problem? Too many western-developed games.Dr_Corndog

My problems :

1. M$ tried a lot harder at the beginning of this generation, and now they are in cruise control
2. 3rd Party Timed Exclusive DLC/Games is a rip off, I would much rather have new games than seeing this trend.
3. Unjustifiable Xbox Live Price Hike (XBOX LIVE brought in 1.2 Billion last year)
4. No Xbox Live Annual Loyalty Discount for being a long, long time member.
5. RROD/E74 Problems (I suffered three times this generation)
6. HDD and accessory pricing
7. Non gamer/ Casual KINECT Intense Focus, it's one thing to make a product, another to seemingly put all your 1st party eggs into one basket.
8. The Downsizing, close down, and sell offs of good-great 1st Party studios this gen (which explains the lack of exclusives).

These are what I would fix if I were in charge.

Price of hard drives, price of live gold, loud sound of the disc drive, lack of exclusives, online achievements, and the d pad on the controller.

Nothing at all right now and I don't particularly care about the XBL fees. My one problem is what the hell do we get after Gears of War 3 that isn't Kinect filth? Nothing. They need to show more games. Worst case scenario is that I play Halo: Reach all year though, which I can do.

I HAVE to pay to play online.

The controller

No built in wireless. Yes that's a gripe.

Honestly the only games I've truly enjoyed on the 360 are Gears 1 and 2. Nothing else is remotely interesting. And everything else I can get on another console or PC

i think your gonna have to get me a big drawer because my list is growing by year

1 half baked online services that now cost 60 a year up from 50 last year

2- lack of backwards compatibility

3 faulty hardware

4 my most favorite complaint hahaha teh motion copy machine ! and its shovel ware that also mimicks the quality wii had back in 2006

5- lack of split screen games

6- lack of variety

7 dlc /timed exclusives

8 the fact that my 360 always breaks down! and then i pay for shipping /boxes each time

9 -it is so loud i cant hear my tv

10 focus on graphics over value and gameplay also the online vs split screen is part of this

11-since 09 microsoft has been on crusie control , (wont matter by end of gen wii will still take home the trophy!)

12-the fact that i can not watch my movies on any user id that i ve downloaded,-such as to watch rugrats id have to use my main id and be connected

13 the fact they turned rare into a run of the mill developer!

The fact that they promised BC and than after a while stopped making games compatible was a big problem for me aswell (same with sony)

-Pay to play online

-Kinect looks rubbish

-Exclusives do not interest me, not enough variety

-Price of things like hardrives & wireless

-Fanboys that think its the greatest system ever and that being 2nd this gen is automatically better than Sony dominating the past 2 gens and only being slightly behind this gen

-Rare has been reduced to making a crappy wii sports wannabe

but as a owner of one there are positives

-Multiplats look better because 360 is always used as the main platform

-Controller is much better for fps (which is bad for me because i refuse to pay for live so i play all the online shooters on PS3)

-Will probably be sold due to lack of play and fund my 3DS :D

Old Xbox 360 hardware wise was utter garbage, from not having wifi to no blu ray rrod and recarhable controllers and hard drives, MS pulled a huge El cheapo. I never could understand why fanboys would get offended those are really big things that do matter, and I admit that I like PS3 better, but I would bash the crap out of it had it had any of those problems, MS finally gets it right with the Slim models and I am getting one, its a decent system, just needs more exclusives, I am not whinning about xbox live fees as if you are an adult and have a steady job 50-60$ a year really isnt much, for some people I understand it is.

Problems? XBL fees, the fact that it sounds like a jet engine (especially with the dvd drive running). Actually, I don't really have problems with the 360 itself, it's just that owning a gaming PC makes it redundant unless you REALLY like Halo.

I do however have issues with MS. Think the whole RROD debacle is new? Their software have practically always taken 2-4 itterations before being good.

DOS was crap till 6.0 and only became "accesable" for gaming with 6.2 and Memmaker.

Windows did'nt become good till 3.11.

Windows 95 did'nt become good til 98 SE2

W2k ---> XP SE2

Vista? suppose that sounds better than Windows 7 Pre Beta.

Edit: Oh yeah, kinect looks like utter rubbish. Phew... Nearly forgot to trash that piece of ****

Hardware problems.

Disc scratching.

Its as loud as a 747 taking off.

Controller buttons.

Controller uses AA's

standard mic has to be connected to the controller which drains the AA's even more.

Expensive accesories (HDD etc.)

Kinect seriously looks like Eyetoy 2.

Lack of new IP's and 1st party studios.

MS arrogance.

XBL live fee + raising the price even more.

The day Microsoft makes and product that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners.

R4gn4r0k

These 2, never experienced disc scratching when I had my 360.

Gonna add a few though.

- Controllers suck

- No good exclusives(Only one I'm interested in is Alan Wake)

- All the multiplats are better on PC

- Hardware is outdated

Oh and TC, Fable 3 is not exclusive, it's coming out for PC too.

The only problem i have is the online fee.

Which was 50$ but now 60$...

Other than that i would have bought it for Halo: Reach...

What it comes down to is that the direction the brand is taking is completely different than it was before. There are also the constant low blows from MS, in regards to DLC/Live. Live was originally a paid service because it allowed gamers to "play online multiplayer and recieve free game upgrades."

Then there's this whole Kinect thing...

Okay, and that interests me why? I already hate the 360, and it's not like I'm gonna buy another one.

I believe it scratches discs(on some models), I just never experienced it on my 360.

Live costs money, 360 isnt worth $300 to me.ferret-gamer

Doesn't cost $300.

MS usually announce game closer to their release dates. Shouldnt we have learned it already? :|

I remember ppl complaining about the same thing before Gears1 came out. that was 4 years ago!

I wish XBL was free and they would just give me the console and games for free as well but other then that, I really like the system and games for it and plan on buying the 360 S Kinect bundle around the holidays. :P
