I really dont get people who buy a 360... how can you buy a system that has so many breakdowns?! and dont tell me the games are worth it, because except halo3, most of them will be on ps3 or the pc(mass effect)

Im really starting to think its all part of m$ plan, they desine a faulty mechine so that after a year, right about the time the warrenty runs out, it breaks down, so people need to pay 140$ for repairs...

If your paying for a gold account(a rippoff IMO), the least they can do for you is include with it a lifetime warrenty in the pakege, 50$ a year is no joke, considering a console lasts for 5 years(250$) and in M$ case, i bet the 360 life will be 3 years before they pop out a new one.

I have my ps2 for 5 years now, not once did I need to repair it, and when the ps3 price will go down ill get it, feeling good with myself for buying a quality product :D

Guys, I really am afraid of MS. My 360 watches me when I sleep. It becomes self aware in the middle of the night and steals my wallet and car keys and buys cigerattes and hookers. FACT.

I've had my 360 since last August. It hasn't even frozen up on me once, let alone completely broken down. My roommate did have a launch unit that got the red rings though. Microsoft did a really good job of taking care of him though. Wasn't the PS2 notorious for Disc Read Errors and such?

Im really starting to think its all part of m$ plan, they desine a faulty mechine so that after a year, right about the time the warrenty runs out, it breaks down, so people need to pay 140$ for repairs...

If your paying for a gold account(a rippoff IMO), the least they can do for you is include with it a lifetime warrenty in the pakege, 50$ a year is no joke, considering a console lasts for 5 years(250$) and in M$ case, i bet the 360 life will be 3 years before they pop out a new one.

So you're gonna get a PC for a game coming out later this summer, and then wait possibly 2-3 years for the other two to be ported? Plus, Mass Effect is a trilogy. Don't forget that people!!!

Make fun of me all you want... but at least I dont let M$ #@%& me, and no, I didnt mean the 360 itself was scary...just that nice fuzzy feeling I bet you get whenever you switch on your 360...hoping...praying...

and about Mass effect, looks like a killer game(even with the downgraded visuals), Im just asuming it will come to the pc down the road, same as KOTOR, the pc isnt M$ rival, sony is. and a small fact that bioware isnt owned by M$ and would like to share a great game with as many people as possible.

Luckily, we remembered that the 360 has good games, and that's all that counted when deciding a system. And there was much rejoicing.

No downgraded visuals....

And they would like to share this game with as many people, just not on the Wii or PS3. For Mass Effect

Knowing that if it breaks I'll get a brand new one and probably compensation in the form of a game helps in my case. But indeed, for you Americans it sure does suck. Although it has gotten less sucky. At least now you'll get a fresh 1 year warranty for your $140.
