I've been hearing this getting tossed around quite a bit but its really a misconception. Take my word on this I own one and am no part of any fanboy camp. 360 is the only current gen console I own.

But lets be honest about this. The 360 simply as a console is down right terrible, maybe one of the worst ever.

No next gen format, no standard hdd, everything is add ons. No built in wifi. AND the biggest thing of them all is the terrible reliability. The RROD is an epidemic. Yes 100% of all 360's will fail. Its a matter of when not if.

On the other hand, it does provide really the best gaming you can get for your money. I'm not saying its a bad idea to own one. But dont call the 360 a great console. Just thank, yes thank M$ for buying up exclusives and thank the devs for flocking to the 360 to make such amazing games on. The games are its only strong point but as a console it simply fails.

i dont have a list on me but there was plenty, hell not even all exclusives but they paid rockstar to get gta4 on 360, and 50mil for dlc. they paid to get alan wake exlcusivity. im not just talking about buying exclusives but paying for ps3 exclusives to go multiplat, like devil may cry 4.

this isnt a thread to hate on 360 but more to show people that you should really thank ms not for making a great console (its not a great console) but for acquiring great games and the devs for choosing to develop on it

No, it's not. But don't try to claim the fact that it plays movies is such a big deal.

TheWii doesn't play DVD movies, it doesn't even play music CD's, and people seem to like it a lot.

my only gripe with the 360 is that i wish it was built better. hands down the PS3 is the better console. but 360has got the games i want. Also having to dish out 50 bucks this month to renew my XBL was sort of a reminder of how much i HATE having to pay for p2p. where is all the deticated servers MS?

Still the 360 offers the best gaming experience.... but its all up to taste and if you need all the extra stuff the PS3 offers (which isnt much anymore).

I only have a wii, but to me, the 360 is the best bet for the true advancement in gaming.

I think you people are misunderstanding the post. You'd see it if you read it all and understood what i meant. this is in no way bashing on 360 owners at all.

Not at all. I don't think it is a big deal. Which have more value? A console that just plays games, or a console that plays games and movies.

claiming 100% of the consoles are broken is just retarded

ms said it themselves. someone has to have the link. yes 100% of them are defective and will at one day break, its not a matter of if they get rrod but a matter of when. someone post it the link i dont have it. you sir need to do some research before you go calling people retarded

I think I see the point of your post, TC; Hardware wise, the 360 flat out sucks. Software wise, the 360 is strong. Is that it? If it is, I somewhat agree, I just think MS pumped the 360 much too early; all its defects and promised additions, hardware wise, would've been rectified had they released the console a few months later, perhaps.

What exclusives did they buy?

A company that pays $50 million for "exclusive dlc", $120 million to a movie studio to drop the competitor's format while their own fans dont get a thing in return... No corporation cares is an angel, but MS is one of the most aggressive so you can rest assured they bought many exclusives.

The Xbox 360 is the PS2 of this generation.

It may not have the most powerfull hardware, but it's where the games are at.

There is no other way around it.

No list = no proof = you're talking out your butt, kid.

The money MS gave Rockstar was a loan. According to the deal, Rockstar has to pay back MS if the Episodic content sells or not.

No proof of Alan Wake I presume.

And please attempt to explain the whole Devil May Cry thing if you can.

this isnt a thread to hate on 360 but more to show people that you should really thank ms not for making a great console (its not a great console) but for acquiring great games and the devs for choosing to develop on it

blues3531

Nice try. I bet you think you're the first person to do an "underhanded jab/concern troll" thread, don't you?

Now how about some real proof?

No next gen format, no standard hdd, everything is add ons. No built in wifi. AND the biggest thing of them all is the terrible reliability. The RROD is an epidemic. Yes 100% of all 360's will fail. Its a matter of if not when.

On the other hand, it does provide really the best gaming you can get for your money. I'm not saying its a bad idea to own one. But dont call the 360 a great console. Just thank, yes thank M$ for buying up exclusives and thank the devs for flocking to the 360 to make such amazing games on. The games are its only strong point but as a console it simply fails.

I'm just going to hope that you started gaming last-geeration and cry in this corner, kay?

i dont remember a previous gen console where the manufacturer claimed that 100% of them were defective

POSSIBLY defective. And need I remind you of the lawsuits against Sony last-generation?

its not possibly, its a hardware design flaw. theyll all rrod of played enough

[QUOTE="2scoopsofempty"]my only gripe with the 360 is that i wish it was built better. hands down the PS3 is the better console. but 360has got the games i want. Also having to dish out 50 bucks this month to renew my XBL was sort of a reminder of how much i HATE having to pay for p2p. where is all the deticated servers MS?blues3531

this is what im saying! finally some common sense. i agree the ps3 is overall the better system but i dont even own one. i have the 360 for games and just wish it was more reliable really.

haha dont worryiv got a unused ethernet port onmy router and anempty spot right next to my 360 for the release that is MGS4. hopfully by then the PS3 will have picked up more speed in the software department, and for god sakes sony ditch that HOME crap and give me us a seemless, unified online experience w/o all the virtual furnature!

[QUOTE="blues3531"]i dont have a list on me but there was plenty, hell not even all exclusives but they paid rockstar to get gta4 on 360, and 50mil for dlc. they paid to get alan wake exlcusivity. im not just talking about buying exclusives but paying for ps3 exclusives to go multiplat, like devil may cry 4. Yellow_Rose

No list = no proof = you're talking out your butt, kid.

The money MS gave Rockstar was a loan. According to the deal, Rockstar has to pay back MS if the Episodic content sells or not.

No proof of Alan Wake I presume.

And please attempt to explain the whole Devil May Cry thing if you can.

this isnt a thread to hate on 360 but more to show people that you should really thank ms not for making a great console (its not a great console) but for acquiring great games and the devs for choosing to develop on it

blues3531

Nice try. I bet you think you're the first person to do an "underhanded jab/concern troll" thread, don't you?

Now how about some real proof?

this is no "underhanded jab or trolling" thread. i guess you weren't around when so many early ps3 exclusive games announced (before launch) suddenly went multiplatform. im not the type that saves links for future use but im sure someone can back me up. i own the 360, this isnt to bash. see it how u see it but w/e

this type of attitude is what makes companies like ms think its ok to make shoddy hardware that every unit made is defective by a design flaw.

That's why I'm sticking with the PS3, it's only a matter of time before devs realize 360 is garbage. Look at UT3, almost impossible to get it on 360 the way it is

I think you people are misunderstanding the post. You'd see it if you read it all and understood what i meant. this is in no way bashing on 360 owners at all. blues3531

"No next gen format, no standard hdd, everything is add ons." - and yet it has awesome games despite that.

"No built in wifi." - And yet Xbox live still continues to grow and get better.

"AND the biggest thing of them all is the terrible reliability. The RROD is an epidemic. Yes 100% of all 360's will fail. Its a matter of if not when." - Since is such a fact, you have real proof of this right?

Still waiting for proof of all these "pay-offs".

If I could only pick one thing I would want a console to not suck at, it would be having good games.

exactly. im not saying lets hate on ms and the 360 im actually quite satisfied with it 100% at the moment but people need to realize that as a console it simply blows. and they need to recognize the devs for the games and choosing to make them on 360.

I see what you're saying. Yeah some of the hardware decisions weren't the greatest, but in the end don't you find that great games make up for these few shortcomings? The whole purpose is to play great games, is it not?

I personally think it's a "meh" console, along with the PS3 and Wii. Hoping to next year.

QFT.... im not going to deny that the 360 is a freezebox. just about every game i have played has frozen up on me more than a couple of times. it has gotten to the point that i just have tosave every half hr. Mass Effect froze 3 times in one sitting on me yesterday. Im also getting sick of having to clear my stupid cache. WTF MS. lol

Yes basically anyone who has any capacity to think and has some decent knowledge of the 360 and its short history can agree that it sucks as a system, but the game lineup is amazing but that has nothing to do with the hardware it self. THANK THE DEVS!!

maybe the people that dont read the whole post. its all true this is no opinion, the only great thing about the 360 is the games and everyone needs to recognize the devs for choosing to make games in it and ms for buying up exclusives

What exclusives did they buy?

A company that pays $50 million for "exclusive dlc", $120 million to a movie studio to drop the competitor's format while their own fans dont get a thing in return... No corporation cares is an angel, but MS is one of the most aggressive so you can rest assured they bought many exclusives.
