Do you feel ripped off by Microsoft?

This question goes out to the folks who already have a 360.

Do you feel ripped off everytime Microsoft opens their mouth?

With the announcement of the possible 60 gig hard drive, "built-in blu ray" this summer and HDMI last year, I feel ripped off because MS can't get their system right the first time.

Even the fact that they haven't updated their MS points conversion for Canadian users.

Not at all. Im glad that I have been able to play great games since Nov. 05. I applaud M$'s efforts for updating their system. Just as cars, tv's, ipods, computers, etc upgrade all the time why can't videogame systems? As long as you are able to play all the games on your older system whats the big deal? Now if they started making games that were only playable on the newest system then I would have a problem.

yes

never mind that they keep breaking:(

No, not really.

Everyone knows that the PS3 is an overall better system, mostly because sony took all of what MC didnt do and put it into PS3 (e.g. bluetooth, blu-ray) and other blue stuff.

I got X360 for the library and superior online play. Not to mention i prefer the X360 controller.

My 360 has never had any problems, like metling and ****

I don't feel ripped off by Microsoft, but I do get frusterated when I spend $499 on a 360 and two weeks later there's a $100 price drop and also the inclusion of HDMI ports.

I might feel ripped off if Microsoft didn't offer free repair and shipping for the 3 red rings for three years.

You can't give those examples and then say they should have gotten it right the first time. If they HAD gotten it right the first time, and the Xbox 360 did have everything you listed, we would be looking at a much more expensive console.

Did sony owners feel ripped off when the ps2 was redesigned into the slimline and had more reliable hardware? No!!! This is what happens when your an early adopter. Improvements and upgrades will always happen in the consoles lifetime. If you don't want to feel ripped off then don't buy a next gen console early and wait a couple years.

Not necassarily. If a console stays the same from launch to death, there is nothing odd about that. The only realy guarenteed advantage to those who wait is a price drop.

i think ive been ripped since launch none of my 360s even lasted more then 6 months since i had my first one, im on my 4th and 5th respecti vly

and now this .

all the time, ps3/sony is better IMO, but xbox has all the exclusives i want to play, so until i save enough to buy a ps3 to team up with my 360 i'll have to deal with microsoft:(YogidAbEAR152

Same!

And more reliable hardware. The bulky ps2 had hardware problems. The slimline had hardly any and was cheaper than when the ps2 was first released. I think ps3 owners should be feeling screwed because the original 60GB ps3 will be the best model out of any ps3 model considering it has full BC with ps2 games and ps1 games.

The 360 has had some improvements. They added HDMI to the later models and added a 120GB HDD. Early adopters didn't have that. Now there is an Arcade Sku that replaces the useless core model which didn't include any type of game or memory unit and didn't have HDMI. The ps2 which is arguably the most successful console in history had improvements to it from the beginning to now.

Some games don't work with the slimline...

Besides the first batch of PS2's many of the the fatty ones are fine.

What frustrates me is that unlike the PS2 and DS and PSP and a couple others is that the Xbox 360 just wasn't ready. To this day consoles are breaking down and you know what?! Microsoft still can't fix the problem! They actually don't have a simple solution and it has been almost 2 and a half years since the launch. Everybody is getting screwed.

I wish that the next time my console breaks they just send a new one cause at least it won't be as loud as an elephant when playing a game but I am still concerned that they have no way of solving their 3 ring problem.

though i do feel a bit ripped off, you can't help it. it's just the way business works.

i agree with a few of the above posts. it's not the late updates that rip us off, it's the fact that the early 360's had so many problems and even some current 360's. i got a 360 not that long after launch and i was so angry because it was like MS didn't even bother to test them.

The thing that make me feel ripped off is the fact that Microsoft xbox 360

only has 2 years left until they make a new system and everyone know

what happen to there last console the xbox Microsoft just killed it the completely

stopped making games all at once and didn't support it after that for anyone

that don't believe me do the research the same thing will happen when the next

console hits in 2010 mark my words on the other hand... Sony still supports

the PS2 they still make games for it years after the PS3 and the PS3 will be

supported long after there next console ...

I agree Here Here quit whining people

Well, I honestly don't really care. Worse case scenario, if I really did care....I could call 1-888-BEST-BUY and cash in my PRP for a huge gift card to put towards upgrading to the next Xbox. :P

I have a PS3 for blu-ray movies. The Xbox 360 is strictly for gaming. That's why I bought them.

There are very few consoles that go unchanged from launch to retirement, the original xbox went through 8 different versions of its motherboard, the PS2 was changed several times even before it went to the slimline. Gamecube had several changes to it's hardware, including removing the component video out that the earliest consoles had. the Playstation, N64, snes, nes and Gameboy all had hardware changes in their lifetimes. I don't know about sega, but they probably did too. It's just the nature of the product, components change and are cheaper to produce later in a console's lifetime. there was a point in the lifetime of the XBOX where they had to use 20 gig hard drives because there weren't enough 8 gig HD's available. That's probably what's happening with the 360 now, with the rapidly falling cost of hard drives, it's probably not much more expensive to use a 60 gig HD than a 20 gig HD, It's not them ripping anyone off, it's just changes in the technology. If MS would have launched with a blu ray drive, HDMI, 120 gig HD, and falcon MB, it would not have come out until 2007 for $600 and would have been slaughtered in console sales, and they would have been the ones losing all of their exclusive titles. Did they release the 360 too early? yes. Was it the wrong decision? NO.
