Argg this baffles me! I was on the wii forums and was telling them i wanted a wii, and that i was getting

one in 2009 due to massive game syndrome lol ( 2007+2008+2009 games im getting for my 360)

then those one guy toldd me to get a wii now because my xbox 360 will get red lights... WTF? not all xbox 360's break! and i get a warranty!! I REALLY DO WANT A WII, BUT IF I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A 360 AND A WII, ID PICK AN XBOX 360, so sheep and cows dont say the xbox 360 is a peice of junk, because to some people its a wonderful system that will last me a long, long time. Thank you

The 360 is a great console with great games. Fanboys just over use the problem with the red lights.

That's because MS has admitted that 11.6 million Xboxes have a defective flaw that could lead to the RROD.

What's so great about the 360? Many of the games on there are on the PS3 and those that aren't have a good chance of going to the PC (like Lost Planet and Gears of War).

It's true that the most popular "argument" against the 360 is assuming that it'll break.

"Duh-uh-oh, tree red lights!!!"

My 360 hasn't broken yet. And if it does, I'll get it fixed. For free.

Two actually and he didn't want me to stereotype so I was helpfully pointing out to people that RRoD isn't something that effects every one, theres plenty of other crappy flaws that can screw you over too.

because it has a amazing library of not just MINIGAMES and next gen GRAPHICS and if it breaks it usally does when you first get and most stores you can turn it in for a new one if it breaks in that week

well, it doesnt break when you first get it, if you read all the threads on a bunch of different forums, people get problems after a year or so it seems. just run a search on here for the 360 problem threads.

In order for a stereotype to be established, there must first be a decent amount of recognized truth. Countless numbers of people's stories of having broken consoles provides great anecdotal evidence, but you can't get much better truth than MS flatout saying every machine they produced is faulty. I'm on my fourth 360 right now, and I can say the stereotype is very well deserved.

No, because I'm staging a boycott on all overpriced and under-reliable Microsoft products which is pretty much everything they make.

However the one at the Hastings where I work (Round Rock, TX if you want to see for yourself) has been worthless for some time now, I finally unplugged it yesterday because it was just using electricity.

Did I?

All I meant to say was that it's stupid to base an argument off of an assumption like that. And even if everyone had to fix their 360, while it might be inconvenient, it's not the biggest deal in the world.

My lemming side may be showing.

I don't, but the first one my little brother got had them right out of the box. Returned it at Wal Mart, second one worked fine. The one at the Gamestop also had them. I'm not stereotyping, nor do I bring this crap up. I'm just citing my personal experiences.

Ahh crap!!! *ducks* Sorry, when people say that is usually right before theirs breaks (seriously, people have said that and had theirs break 30 minutes later).

The entire reason I'm pointing these things out is because the OP almost seems to be denying there is a serious issue. If the 360's hardware is crap (and generally speaking, it is) then I'm going to say as much.

You didn't see me covering for Sony BMG because "not everybody bought those discs". :|

I think its an ok console -- not many of the games are to my liking, or seem to interest me, besides GeOW, Bioshock, and mass effect -- i dont want anything else on it.

And of course people are going to think its a bad console -- look at the number of failing xbox 360s -- its keeping some people, including me, from buying a 360 -- i dont want to go through that crap

What-ifs are irrelevant here because WHAT is going on is a ton of 360s are crapping out on people. Also I notice you are just making things up now what with the melting discs and all.

Then they are clearly oblivious and would say the same kinds of entirely inaccurate or unverified stuff about other systems too. If you buy a 360 and it doesn't fail on you more power to ya, but lots of people are having them fail repeatedly.

Please don't try to defend the 360s hardware problems unless people are just making things up, then please DO call them out on it. It doesn't serve anybody to be uninformed about the facts surrounding a product.

Nope but your hyping it in my opinion instead of pointing out a positive that they've recognized it and are taking steps to fix the issue. I have zero fear about mine breaking. I got the warranty on top of the 3 years, so I can just exchange it for the next 2 years and keep getting another 2 years when and if I ever do. If it last till the day after 3 years, I'll buy another one...$133 year is cheap entertainment and the price will probably be lower by then.

my 360 broke 4 times...

xbox 360 hardware=junk

xbox 360 graphics physics AI=great

xbox 360 price games and the console itself and the things it can do=great

overall id give the xbox 360 a b+ RIGHT NOW! IN THE FUTURE IT CAN GO UP OR DOWN

THE XBOX 360 IMO IS ALMOST FUNNER THAN MY N64 IF NOT FUNNER

Do I need to waste my time, put in a sign beside the 3ROD? And there's a sticky btw.NobuoMusicMaker
Fanboy who clear forgets the defect issue of the PS2 of his almighty Sony, the rootkits, Ken getting his walking papers and flat out lying to the public at E3. Not to mention the abysmal price point, sales and lack of games for the PS3 had at launch and 8 months later.. We all worship the business model of Sony!

That's because MS has admitted that 11.6 million Xboxes have a defective flaw that could lead to the RROD.

[QUOTE="mastershake575"]

just because its the only real thing they can make fun of on the 360 because everything else is good like it actually has good GRAPHICS and a great libray ofGAMESand your night its not that bad you have around a 70% chance it it not breaking

What's so great about the 360? Many of the games on there are on the PS3 and those that aren't have a good chance of going to the PC (like Lost Planet and Gears of War).

you know? the ps3 and 360 are pretty much the same thing library wise, although all games are ported to ps3 from 360 versions and the 360 has good platform games and a good way of letting the user know there is a problem by having red lights flash which is rare. Would you people please open your eyes?
