@TTDog @DAndre982 I was putting it out there hoping people would actually read before posting, but I guess most people post before reading the comments.
@TTDog @adamh1981 Yeah, its also funny how the RROD was actually very common. Only 1/4 RROD (indicated by how many segments of the ring there are) are bad. The other three are as follows; Unplugged/broken av cords, Overheating, System failure (meaning to simply restart the system). I never got 3 out of 4 rings (That I believe is the one indicating that the system needed to be sent in). All you need to do is keep your Xbox in shape. I accidentally left it on for two weeks while I was on vacation, playing a movie on loop, and it still worked fine. Its funny how many people don't know this yet continually bash the Xbox for it. I've explained it to several of such people, and the only response I get is either "Oh," or "Yeah well you pay for internet."
@RossRichard @DAndre982 Well, I don't know much about windows 8, but I do think a desktop operating system is much less significant than a console. You don't have to download it, whereas with a console you have to buy (for a price, while an operating system remains free) the newest-gen to actually play releases. And I think windows 8 was attempting to reach out to those who, for some reason, own tablets, as well as those who understand much less about computers (I.e. Old and really young people). I don't think it was all bad, there were things such as performance improvements, security enhancements, and improved support for touchscreen devices.
@Propulsion_Gel @DAndre982 And Orbis isn't very cool either. Neither is the name PC or Mac or Windows or whatever. I think Durango is like a cowboy name.
@Propulsion_Gel @DAndre982 I don't like the 720 thing either, but the way I see it is this. The 720 is like it's coming back to you, with the same feel, but its bigger, therefore better. That's the analogy I'm getting here. I would play PC, but it's too expensive especially where I live. I also enjoy the "feel" of the Xbox as I said before.
@Propulsion_Gel @DAndre982 Oh, and I wouldn't believe any of the rumours you hear yet. They're pretty stupid. PS4 was getting trashed at first, just give them time to announce it. And I hope I wasn't detecting fanboyism?
Doesn't make any sense if you think about it logically. Why would Microsoft do this? It's a company. They want to make money, not add stupid features that will have a negative effect on their revenue and probably add difficulty to the creation of the console itself. Especially if the PS4 isn't doing any of this, as the only way I could see Microsoft doing this is if Sony did it too. Try not to believe everything you read, everyone. Microsoft wants to gain costumers, not loose them. And if they WERE doing this, they wouldn't be doing it anymore. I mean, look at the feedback. It would get very few buys. What kind of reward could possibly overshadow the loss of all your costumers (a.k.a. money)?
I'm still considering getting Durango. I enjoy my xbox more than my PS3, so I'm hoping to get more of the same feel, minus the bad parts. IF for some reason (I have the highest doubts on this part) Durango still ends up with these features, I will of course get the PS4. I have no qualms about changing consoles, (Went from a PS2 to a Xbox360, etc.).
