Let me get this straight? You're xbox is working fine, but you're still pissed at MS? Geez, at least wait for it to break first. I bought mine used, and it works great. If it breaks, I'll buy another one. It's got nothing to do with loyalty. I'm a gamer, and the games are on the 360, period. I'm no longer Nintendo's target customer. They aren't even trying to sell the wii to people like me. As for Sony...they've completely abandoned the strategies that made the PS1 and PS2 successful. There is no reason to buy a PS3 unless you want a bluray player. When PS3 gets enough games to justy the purchase, I'll pick one up.

MS made a mistake and they've extended the warrentee. What else do you want from them? Besides that one issue, MS has doneeverything togive the gamer whathe/she wants. I'm am their target customer, and they are doing a fantastic job of earning my business.

Electronics aren't meant to last forever. They all stop working eventually. It would be great if all we ever had to buy was one tv, one microwave, one washing machine, one dish washer, one games console, and they never brake down and we never have to replace them.

Try calling the manufacturer of your refrigerator after you've had it for three years and tell them it's stopped working and you want it fixed for free. See how far you get.

Yeah, but most refrigerators, microwaves, washing machines, and TVs don't crap out within 1-2 years of it's lifespan. Actually, they last a long time.

I hate that excuse - "electronics aren't meant to last forever." We know that, but the Xbox 360 failure rate far exceeds any one of those products and is unacceptably high.

k where does this go thenfaceman420

Does anyone know if this is a limited edition deal or is this going to be another version of the xbox 360? The reason I ask is because im tired of sending out my xbox to microsoft so im buying another one while my old one is getting fixed (for the sixth time). I figure if i buy this edition and get a warranty at best buy then i can just exchange this one right off the bat instead of waiting a month or so...... thanks!!!!

I find it funny how so many are loyal to a company who produces a great platform but a mediocre machine, yet complain about a well made machine (for the moment) made by a company that has proven itself for over a decade by making some unforgettable (as well as some that shall remain nameless) games. They'll complain that the 360 is the greatest and will forgive the RRD, but are all over Sony because they removed the rumble feature. They complain about the many sku # the PS3 has, but forget that MS is guilty of the same. So far Nintendo has remained consistent.

I love how just a few months ago the PSP was dead and the DS was king. Fast-foward to a redesign and new bundles and PSP has a heartbeat once again, go figure. Personally, I'd like to give a heart laugh to all those fickle, impatient people who must have traded and re-bought the same system countless of times. It must be nice to be rich ; )

My point is this, You will obviously have the knuckle-heads out there who will spew out my brand is better than your brand garbage. I say let them, they only want to get a rise. Most are annoying little trolls that would never have the guts to say what they type in the real world. My post goes out to those of us (yes, me included) who allow it to get under our skin an feel the need to reply angrily. I say this as a 40 year old dad who has been through the mac vs pc, sega vs nintendo vs ps, ms vs ps wars and honestly, it's quite silly. To some it may be fun (even funny) but what happens is that after a while it ultimately brakes down into an insult contest. People get personal on something that is supposed to be fun. By the way, this also happens on car and gun forums just the same. So this is not an age issue. 

Anyway, have fun. Also, for those who can only have one system, enjoy what you have to the fullest. Believe it or not, there are those who don't even have a clue what a PS3/Xbox360/Wii is. They are just wondering where their next meal is coming from.

Enjoy being fortunate,
