You people with your comments like "I'm on my first one, because I take care of it"...as if the rest of us don't. You're not still on your first one because you take care of it. You're on your first one because you're lucky. In fact, some studies suggest you're a minority.

You guys on your first Xbox are not possessed of some ancient wisdom that the rest of us barbarians can't seem to grasp. A 360 is not hard to treat properly. The thing's not like a bonzai tree or some rare tropical fish that you have to care for just so, otherwise it'll die. You put the damn thing on a shelf so it can get air to the sides of it, and then don't jar the thing. That's all; it's not hard.

I imagine most of the people with broken 360s took care of them just fine. I know I did (to my prior three broken ones). The ****ing things are put together poorly, and they break. If yours hasn't, you just lucked out. People with their original Xbox telling everyone else to treat theirs better are like lottery winners telling people to work harder at their jobs. You got lucky; that's it!

Big thumbs up at this comment. I totally agree. its just down to chance (and a few other variables, obviously, but mainly chance) whether or not you lose your 360. if its not dead by now though, it will be soon. I consider myself lucky with mine.

ps. read a couple of your other posts dude, and you do seem to be trying to cause as much of a fuss as possible. like another guy said, maybe you should relax. forums dont need to be a place for debate and competition.

think about it though, xbox 1 came out in 2001/2. that only lasted about 3 or 4 years before the 360 came out. i didnt think it would last as long as this and theres no sign of a new console coming. maybe we're reaching the limit of gaming power before we move on to total motion sense, or even VR. who knows, the next xbox controller might be a full body falcon peripheral.

I'm on my 5th one. Yeah, i said 5TH one.

maybe you're doing something wrong. do you keep it in an air-tight, heated box?

i had the same thing, mine only died a couple of months ago and i got mine on 26th june 2006.

ps. I sold my PS3 yesterday.

This is torture.. :(Bayello

lol. look on the bright side, any PSOne games that you bought on the store can now be played properly.

[QUOTE="PoisoN_Facecam0"] this isn't system wars.. and xbl has gone done more than a few times...PoisoN_Facecam0

mate, i didnt say anything about war. i simply said that this has made me realise that sony are rubbish. i know that the 360 has had its problems, but at least it has been good enough to make people keep coming back.

Ok dude, you're right. I apologise. I was just simply expressing my fury after turning my PS3 on and it not connecting. Just forget i said anything.

so heres my real post expressing how i really feel:

''I hope they fix it soon :) ''

[QUOTE="The_Greg"]

another fail by sony, PSN always sucked but this is rediculous. im seriously thinking about getting rid of my PS3 now. i cant be bothered with it they cant even get any decent exclusives, MGS4 was the only high point of the PS3 and that was 2 years ago. i've stood by the PS3 and xbox since they came out and argued for them both (xbox was always better though, lets be honest, XBL >>>> PSN), but now thats just it PS3 is just holding back the gaming industry and things would go a lot smoother if they just left it to Microsoft and Nintendo from now on.

ye, vista uses about 50% more RAM. so if XP needed 1gb for something, vista would need 1.5gb

LMAO I can't beleive youre all taking this seriously, it's quite obviously a joke

well said, stinger.

Rigour_Mortise, we're not all taking it seriously. if you actually read most of the posts they're nothing to do with the silly CM2 photoshop picture.
