you should put this in System Wars

as an arab-american and a very proud american citizen, I pay all respect for the fighting soldiers. this isn't a place to post something like that though. God Bless the troops.

- as for the people that are telling me how many Iraqis are dying, please stop watching Aljazeera TV and get a real view of what's going on. American soldiers aren't killing anybody, it's the terrorists who are going into crowded markets and blowing themselves up to claim as many casualties as they can. how do you blame the americans for that? Most casualties nowadays are caused by this same reason. Blame those Islamic extremists and Alqaida fighters. thanks

I have been gaming for 18 years now, and I must say the Xbox 360 is BY FARthe worst console I have ever seen.

All Xbox 360s should be collected and destroyed.

One of the main problems of the Xbox 360 is that Microsoft rushed it to the market to beat Sony and Nintendo by 1 year. The chinese factories who make the system blame Microsoft's haste, poor desigining, and cheap components used to make the Xbox 360 as to why it fails at a rate of 33%.

33%

33%

33% 1 out of 3 Xbox 360s die within a few months, and most of them after the warranty expieres. Time to call the FCC. 10 million Xbox 360s need to be recalled and destroyed.

Let's say this is a court. The Xbox 360 is on trial. If found guilty the punishment is that all 360s are to be rounded up and destroyed. These are the charges:

- Failure to give gamer assumed 5 year life span without failing, sometimes up to 4 times

- Making users pay for Xbox Live while their console is being fixed

- Console scratches $60 games, and customer service blames everything, including YOU, but the 360 itself

- Failure to return original console to users after fix, users usually get a different, refurbished model

- Obnoxiously loud cheapDVD drive and fan.

- Pathetic 20 gigabyte harddrive (only 13GB useable). A couple of demos and you've used half your HDD.

- screwing gamers up the a$$ by relasing new 360 premiums with HDMI

- Charging $180 for a 120gb HDD that you MUST buy from MS when a 2.5" notebook 120HDD can easily be found online for well under $100

- Charging $100 for a wireless network adaptor that you MUST by from MS when a similiar product can be purchased for your PC for well under $40

- Patheticly large cheap power brick that's nearly half the size of the console. Once again another cheap feature of a cheaply made rushed system.

- $60 a year for Xbox Live. $60 for what? Dedicated Servers? Nope. Try laggy peer to peer. $60 for what then? $60 for a gamer tag and a friends list. That's it folks. AND you still have to see ads. Where does the money for the ads go to? In Microsoft's pocket, witht he rest of your $50 that they didn't need.

- Failure to make top games 100% exclusive, as Gears of War, Halo 2, Bioschock and other so called 'exclusive' Xbox 360 games appear on the PC, and tend to be much better on the PC. More maps, mods,and the use of a keyboard and mouse to name just a few. Imagine if Gran Turismo 5 or Mario Galaxy was available for the PC. That shows just how pathetic the 360 'exclusives' are.

- Hyping up the most over-hyped, over-rated game in the history of gaming, Halo, just to sell consoles.

- Releasing games under the genre 'RPG' and 'ACTION' when in reality they are first person shooters (FPS). Example : Bioschock, Mass Effect

- MS Paying Paramount $150,000,000 to drop blu-ray support just to prolong a format war that bluray was winning 3-1 just so you can slow and hopefully stop HD discs progression to the mainstream so you can institute HD movie downloadsand test VC-1 codecs on HD-DVD

- Supporting Toshiba and releasing a HD-DVD drive for the 360 just to make Sony's life miserable

Xbox 360 and Microsoft is therefore found GUILTY of the above infractions of the law. All Xbox 360 core, premium and Elite systems are to be gathered at holding stations across the world, to be collected and brought to a landfill in China to be crushed and burried.

The Xbox 360 is hands down the worst video game console ever built. If it weren't for the mild success of the original Xbox and the lack of competition from Sony and Nintendo during the '05 holiday season the Xbox 360 would have gone the way of the Dreamcast.

Sadly enough, because it had a 1 year head start on it's only rivals, millions of unsuspecting buyers purchased the worst console in the history of gaming.

Lemmings, you are owned on this thread. I partially work for M$, and I have to say that I can't stand them. Good post though, the Truth hurts, lol

there is no ownage w/o facts.

the tc made up a bunch of bs. and called it ownage..

and being a busboy at the redmond campus cafeteriadoes NOT mean you work FOR ms...;)

lol, these were facts or at least a lot of them were. I didn't say I work for M$, I said I partially work for M$. I work for a company that is 50% owned my M$. I am a C# developer and I work with M$ products everyday specially Sharepoint 2007 and SSIS. I know M$ more than you do, their products are always a few serivce packs away from being perfect including the xbox360. Just look how many different SKU's of 360 you have core, premium with HDMI and without HDMI, Elite and soon 65nm chips. what don't they just get it right the first time? A: it's M$. lol

I have a PS3 right now and i some what i agree.....im so sick of waiting GOD DANMIT!!

But i havent tried Warhawk yet and i dont think i ever will since it looks like a gimped version of BF2......

I bet you don't even own a PS3. I am enjoying mine quite a bit. As for WarHawk, it's getting awesome reviews from IGN and GameSpot, so I don't know what you're waiting for to get it, but it's obvious that you don't own a ps3, rather you own a xboxPleasefixme.

As for the TC, if that's what works with you, then good for you man. You made the correct choice of what suites you. I personally don't like Madden games, played Halo2 and thought it was nothing spectacular, and I find the xbox360 a very poor designed system with many problems like 3 red lights, drive problems, over heating...etc, so I invested in a system that I know will last for a while, has great features like blu-ray, and great games like RFOM, and MotorStorm(motorstorm is what sold me on a PS3 to be honest) and now WarHawk, and more great games coming out this year and next year. I am a very happy PS3 owner.

1) 80GB + Motorstorm for 599, or 499 for 60GB (60GB model has 98% BC to PS2 and PS1 games, the 80GB model has about 80%)

2) PS2/1 games run on the PS3 with no problems at all (at least the 60GB model that I own). upgrading games works well but nothing spectacular since the oringinal games do not support HD

3)yes

4)the game companies run the servers for the games

5) on line is absolutely free

6)I'd say vertical because it would let all the hot air up

7)Resistance, MotorStorm, Rainbow six: vegas, Call of duty 3, WarHawk, God of War 2 (PS2 game, but a stunning game), Heavenly Sword and Lair. upcoming games are going to be amazing like uncharted, UT3, and Socom this year, and MGS4 killzone2, and GT5.
