360 losing relivance?

I love my 360 and up until now had no trouble defending the system or the price of xbox live. Lately I find myself drifting over to the darkside of PS3. I own a PS3 and barely played it until I read reviews of Uncharted 2 and that prompted me to go out and buy the first game and its sequel. Needless to say I have played and finished both games and I think they might be two of the best games I have ever played and owned. Not only does it seem like PS3 is offering better experiences lately, but Microsofts terrible marketplace pricing, there refusal to drop hard drive prices or the network adapter price is really making me wonder if they give a rats *** about the consumer anymore. They forced Valve into a wall and charged for L4D content that should have been free as it is to those who own the pc version. Needless to say if Microsoft keeps milking the cow the **** are going to fall off real soon. An ace card that xbox live has had up to

this date has been Netflix. They have even lost the exclusive to that property as well. This would not be a big deal if it wasnt for the fact Sony doesnt charge a penny for PSN and everyone has the same rights and privilages. You dont need some Gold BS! I guess thats the problem with being #1 in this business...they get cocky and arrogant.

I cant even defend the xbox for the games anymore either. I used to love Gears of War mulitplayer but #2 had completely turned me from it. When someone invites me to a game I just cringe at the thought of getting owned by the cheaters, terrible lag, or all the pimply snot nosed kids that play all freaking day and want to play for these stupid acheivements. Take all the achievements out of mulitplayer and it will a much better experience for everyone I think.

I do love my 360 and I have enjoyed it to the fullest since its inception back in 2005, but lately I argue its relivance and Microsofts infuriating business practices. It is actions like these that got Sony into the trouble they are currently in and you think that maybe the competition would have learned from this. Dont make the consumer pay for all the money you have lost on the RROD issue. That is an issue that shouldnt have gone on as long as it did.

This article doesnt need to be in system wars..cause it is all about 360. I am not starting a fight about which is better and I have no bias as I own all 3 but for different reasons. I am just talking about my latest gripe with Microsofts business practice around Xbox Live and why I feel Sony is gaining major ground in sales and PSN users. I am sure there are many Xbox users out there that are feeling a little bit like myself and are worried that Microsoft has reached the goaline and has fumbled the ball so to speak.

to mickeyscore...I totally agree man. Biggest reason I play Live right now is because I have most of my friends there and there is alot more voice chat. Second reason is that I have alot of money invested in games and DLC etc for my 360. Lastly...I love Gears of War. Even if multiplayer continues to suck I will always play the game and love it for its coop campaigns, amazing art style and intriging characters.

I have been asked this question alot lately " Are you getting Modern Warfare 2?". My reply is yes, but what I dont know is which system should I get it for.

What do you mean by "relivance?"

Nope it's not I prefer having all consoles and handhelds.

C: Just sell your Xbox 360 if you don't like it because, I doubt anyone here even cares.

P.S. - Uncharted 2 is an awesome game but won't drive me into buying a whole new console. I'm happy with my 360.

tbs76! Dude, are you like my prototype or something? I'm saying that because We both have the same likes and dislikes for the 360.

Most of my friends are on LIVE, that's why I have it.

Gears of War 1 is my favorite game of all time. 2 Sucks, I don't play it. I just play Gears of War 1 MP. A lot of people still on it.

360 has not much interesting exclusives, the ps3 is getting the great games now.

But don't count the 360 out just yet cuz I'm pumped for NinetyNineNights2, L4D 1.5, CODMW2. I know I can get MW2 on ps3, but I'd rather play with my friends on LIVE.

Also, even though the ps3 are getting the better games, There's nothing like LIVE and Gears 1!

Xbox 360 now has a 96 percent failure rate.check641
