To all 360 fanboy's why buy a system that dies?

To all the 360 fanboys-- Would you have baught the console when it came out if they told you there was a 33% that your console would die? Would you accept that from any other console? From any other product? i wouldn't!! So Why do you? Why do let Micro$haft get away with this **** Or is it because most of you are young and had your parents buy you the console and that is what you are stuck with until you get a job?.I would never of baught a Sega Genesis in 1990 if it had 33% death, so why buy a 360 with that failure chance.?

Would you buy a car from a salesman if they told you, oh its a great car, but you know there is a small, cough..33%..cough..chane of the breaks failing when you drive it. I wouldn't touh the car, that type of thing would cause millions of a injuries and lawsuits! Now I realize an xbox is not a car, but still you get my point. Why even bother when there is that chance? It doesn't make any sense. No one would buy anything with that failure rate..which is why ms didn't do a recall which is what any car manufacturer would of done. Instead they let the product ship ,and then just let consumers find out on their, own...does this sound like good business for the customer? No way, it sounds to me like its MS just trying to maximize on profit for a screw up....its horrible business...and any other company would of been linched, and no longer in business.

So why do you let it happen? Would you take that from SEga back in the day, Nintendo, Sony....hell no...so why MS? it can't be because of master cheif? Give me a break...Gear of war? the game ain't that good to buy a product with a failure rating attached. In fact before the 360 no console even had a failure rating...the 360 is the first console to have one. Before this such things would be in accusable. Why do you let ms do this? WHY????

... Because its got a good warranty?

It has the best games and online service for a console. That's why. I can deal with a three year warranty too.

The games.

yes why by a system that can break....

1) I play games that I like. 360 had the most I like.
2) RROD isn't that big of a deal! I've never RROD, none of my friends have, and it only happens to a few consoles once every couple years.
3) BUY A WARRANTY! I always do with electronics. It's a simple matter of taking it to the store, and gettings a new one free in an hour. This 2 weeks thing is BS.

you could also ask that question to the tens of millions of people who continued to buy ps2's after they kept dying.dooly420

awsss

let's hope u never get it. No1 should have to experience that. I wish I haven't. :(

To the TC..... Why bother living, you're just gonna die.

I have both the PS3 and the 360. I have close to 40 games for the 360 and only 6 games for the PS3. A much better lineup is available on the 360 compared to the PS3. There is also a 3 year warranty for the 360, which is unprecedented in the gaming industry. Even the PS2's failure rate never prompted them to have this kind of warranty. Microsoft is standing behind their product, even though most of the Sony fan's swear they are not. The 360 is standing up to the "super computer" that is the PS3, and doing very well. With all the hype about how great the PS3 was going to be, the 360 is not only holding it's own, I have yet to see the PS3 out do the 360 save for MGS4. Even that though, IMO, is a close second to gears!!!! Maybe you should be asking why would any one NOT want to buy a 360, especially this fall when the jasper chip set will be coming out.

P.S. Live just flat out owns PSn!

Yes.

I was late in buying a PS2, and i was fully aware of the DRE problem (a few friends had suffered) but i bought one anyway. Yeah, after a year and a few months, mine did break so i went out and bought another. Great thing with the 360 is that when it did RROD a few months back, i got it replaced free by M$ within around 3 weeks.

my thoughts exactly

why live when ur just gonna die? well, think of it this way. It's not something to do with living. We're talking about a console ffs. I dunno why ppl deny the fact that rrod is unacceptable. Would you want to have your hdtv die on you after a year? Would you want to have your brand new sound system die on you after half a year? Ppl have to agree that the 360's reliability is below these standards.

360 has great games but why are you guys defending a flaw in the design of the actual console?

For a while there, the failure rate on the 360 DID make me incredibly hesitant to buy the system. I eventually did some research, and settled on the Halo 3 edition console believing that the Falcon chip had effectively ended the problem of RROD. From what I understand they haven't completely nullified the problem, but I DO believe, contrary to the belief of many Sony die-hards, that it enjoys a drastically lower failure rate than the normal 360 SKUs.

That being said, it was ultimately the game lineup that swayed me. Failure rate or no, it's a great machine with a better lineup than the competition.

... because they repair it for free, at a very fast pace... ..... ..

he should of said every 360 has the chance of getting rrod.

The same reason why people bought the PS2 knowing it had Disk read errorkyacat

I didn't even know it dre problems until it happened to me true story.

I think people are starting to get a little crazy

Every 360 is able of getting rrod

same with every ps3 is able of getting dre

Nobody should buy a console that is has a 33 percent chance of rrod and scratches disk unless you are a true fan.

keep the subject on gaming systems alright the 360 has the highest chance of failing or what ever you guys call it.

It's not 33%, stop spewing that baseless number. And now you throw in disc scratches?

I am talking about the launch 360, the 360 did have disk problems.

Holy wall of Text!!!!!

Yeah you know it is annoying when your 360 goes down, its a month sometimes more where you just can't play video games whilst they are fixing it. It happens does happen and happens often. Its a really serious issue i can't believe microsoft simply doesn't change the design of the 360 to fix this

Most fanboy rants about the 360 are based on 2005 information. 360 failure has dropped dramatically. hardware defects still exist, but not as major as complete system death.

Get with the times dude.

I have 2 360's and have never gotten RRoD.

And the chance of it happening now with the newer systems is pretty slim.

So get with the times and stop propagating a stereo type..
