When i edit my own message it posts a new message instead of editing the older one. When i try to delete the double post created by this strange behaviour it says only a moderator or the creator of it can delete it. And when i try to quote amessage half of the time the board says i can't quote a message froma differentthread. And this board still delete white spaces in my posts on a regular basis and this sicne this summer. Now that i can't edit my post i can't redo the white spaces the board deleted.

Have you ever thought about how far the $1.1B that MS is spending on x360 service charges could go towards new game development or reduced costs for the consumer? There is no free money out there. You paid for that repair and so does everyone that buys a 360.**

** edit: actually, as long as MS is losing money in its gaming division, it's all MS customers that are paying for your repair.

Anyway, the heavy service charges are nothing for MS to be proud of. Imo, they got in this situation by rushing the hardware design and testing. They rushed it to force Sony's hand... and it worked. In the case of the PS3, however, the costs haven't come in the form of service charges but in the retail price for technology that wasn't ready for the mass market.

Oh!

That's why MS sells Vista as much as a computer ;) I never tought i would see the day where an OS cost actually as much assome computer people install it on (not considering the price of the monitor which can now be used to watch TV or play console anyway).

As for the 360 mine did not break. But i bought it1 yearago only. I think that an electronic device should last a minimum of 3 years. Only my HP printer did not last 3 years when i consider all the electronic things i bought in the last 10 years. The other one that came close is my NEC CRT monitor that laster 4 years and an half. All other things laster between 5-7 years and i have a JVC CRT TV that is 11 years old and still work like a new one.

I must admit i change my PC video card and CPU each 2 years but well they at least work for those 2 years and probably more after i sold them.

The fact that a lot of 360 breaks after a couple of months only is not a positive thing even if the customer support is good. One of my friend got his 360 replaced twice already. Both time the DVD readerhad massive disc errors.

I would bet on Guild Wars. I remember GW to be patched 2-3 times a day when it was released. But the system was so good you did not have to stop playing when a new version was released you could update when you wanted. It was nice.

That's nothing

I'm actually shopping for an Onkyo TX-SR605 AV receiver. It is sold between 400$ and 450$ in the states. It is sold here at 700$.

That's incredible. Sadly online stores from USA don't ship AV receivers to Canada because evenwhile adding all the fees (shipping, duty, brokerage) i would still save around 150$.

Video games are not that bad. But yes i'm pissed about it.

AV receivers are the worst. 400$ USD AV receivers are sold here at 600$-800$ CAD.

I just wonder where all this money goes. I'm sorry but it doesn't cost 200-400$ to import a receiver from USA.

Buy it's not new. When the CAD was at 0.75 a lot of things was sold at 0.60.

I stoped playing GW after Faction. I really did not like Faction that much. It was a good game but i'm waiting for GW 2.

Can't say i'm impressed.

It almost looks exactly like the first game. I liked the first game but i expect better for a sequel.
