Okay, **** you MS. I'm sick of you junk consoles. My second 360 is getting ready to die on me and I think its time to invest in a PS3. Why, for the love of god, can't they get their **** together and make something that lasts longer than 3 weeks?

honestly i think its cause they are so used to not having competition with Windows. so they just churn out crap like they did with windows, and expect everyone to swallow it.

Thats my problem with the 360. I've heard of MANY faulty hardware issues from people here. That, and the fact that i dont have a HDTV, is keeping me from buying a 360 right now.

Indeed.

How is your 360 even dieing? Somethings are just unlucky. However if its overheating its your fault because you're not giving it large enough space to ventilate.

You're mad now, but when Mass Effect and Halo 3 are our, you'll crack and send it in for repairs anyways. And how does the 360 'die' on you? Red rings?

From what I hear everything that uses a disc drive gets that, when its a problem with the disc drive. Hard drives in computers do the same thing.

you are correct, but i was referring to what is commonly said as the problem, the drive, cause they always say it scratches their disc. it seems to happen more often from what people say, i dont own every 360 that has ever broke, so i cant say for sure, thats why i said from what i hear. jesus, some people

I keep it in an open area and don't play it for more than 2hrs at a time. the power brick is not on carpet, and I don't use an intercooler ect ect ect. not my fault in anyway, they just make garbage.

well the point here is not to so much care about "my console" but for everyone with a 360 to be offended by MSs crap business practices. the failure rate is well above the 5% mark, you would have to be an idiot to think otherwise.

True, it's a sad fact that you have to pay $600 for a reliable current gen console and an additional $400+ games for somthing to play while you wait for something decent to come out on the PS3.

If you owned a 360 and took a step further to read the instructions, it clearly states not TO MOVE the console while the disc is inserted. Im not saying he moved it, but from what you "heard" that 360 is getting ready to die. :shock:

and while it says not to move it while running, anyone who does that has to be rather dumb. i dont grab my computer while its reading a disc and shake it around or move it places, thats just common sense. most of the drive errors i hear about are while people are playing a game, and it starts making noise, then they find their disc is scratched. i didnt proclaim is was gospel, i merely said it was what people say.

i didnt complain about what you wrote, cause i dont care, i will gladly read whatever. just find it hilarious when someones things break, other people rub in that theirs runs. "my car broke down" "well, my car runs just fine" not really a valid point in any way, just basically rubbing something in someones face.

Yeah it's inexpensive and doesn't die. Yes it's lineup of games is pretty good even though some people act like 2 games are good and the rest are trash.

So your stating this as fact? Do you have a link? Or we going by what people say on GS? :shock:

and you are being a smartass, that is hardly flaming, thats just like saying youre being overly sarcastic for no reason.Gzus666

Smartass? No, merely pointing you in the direction of the error of your ways.

and while it says not to move it while running, anyone who does that has to be rather dumb.Gzus666

You would be surprised.

i dont grab my computer while its reading a disc and shake it around or move it places, thats just common sense. most of the drive errors i hear about are while people are playing a game, and it starts making noise, then they find their disc is scratched. i didnt proclaim is was gospel, i merely said it was what people say.

People "say" if you drive to fast you can go to jail. Can you?

People "say" you can fall out of a plane at 15k feet and survive.

People "say" they are on their 212th 360.

People "say" you can hold your breath for 45 mins and survive.

Is any of this true? Who knows.... :shock:

i didnt complain about what you wrote, cause i dont care, i will gladly read whatever. just find it hilarious when someones things break, other people rub in that theirs runs. "my car broke down" "well, my car runs just fine" not really a valid point in any way, just basically rubbing something in someones face.Gzus666

I didnt rub a damn thing is his face. He said his 360 just died, I said mine is a launch system that I abuse on a regular basis. You jumped in as "Captain_Save_A_Member" and here we are. For every person that has an electronic that breaks, you find several people who have no problems. Whats the point of posting "my 360 just died?" Almost the same relevance of posting "my 360 still works." :shock:

[QUOTE="ninjaxams"]Okay, **** you MS. I'm sick of you junk consoles. My second 360 is getting ready to die on me and I think its time to invest in a PS3. Why, for the love of god, can't they get their **** together and make something that lasts longer than 3 weeks?

Sounds like its your fault. I have 3 of them and not one has even had a single problem.

Why did you buy 3? :| What a waste of money.

[QUOTE="Gzus666"]from what i wrote, i never stated i was a "qualified troubleshooter" of the 360, i merely said most people get disc errors when it starts making noise,Magical_Zebra

So your stating this as fact? Do you have a link? Or we going by what people say on GS? :shock:

going by what people say on random sites, including this, and what i have heard from people who own one, and actually have problems

and you are being a smartass, that is hardly flaming, thats just like saying youre being overly sarcastic for no reason.Gzus666

Smartass? No, merely pointing you in the direction of the error of your ways.

and while it says not to move it while running, anyone who does that has to be rather dumb.Gzus666

You would be surprised.

i dont grab my computer while its reading a disc and shake it around or move it places, thats just common sense. most of the drive errors i hear about are while people are playing a game, and it starts making noise, then they find their disc is scratched. i didnt proclaim is was gospel, i merely said it was what people say.

People "say" if you drive to fast you can go to jail. Can you? Yes, thats a law, and its happened to people i know, and many others in the past

People "say" you can fall out of a plane at 15k feet and survive. Its possible, just not plausible

People "say" they are on their 212th 360. Have yet to hear that, but i get what youre hinting at, and some people have gone through a few, i know a kid who has been through a few, and he treats them very well.

People "say" you can hold your breath for 45 mins and survive. Never heard anyone say this, and unless i see otherwise, no its not possible.

Is any of this true? Who knows.... :shock:

I would bet you if this guy took a picture of where he keeps his 360 it will be in a tight VCR-esque spot where there is no ventilation.

The PS3 is a great system. It's quiet and doesn't over heat. Thats not to say the 360 is loud because I have one as well but the PS3 is noticeably less noisy (but that really doesn't matter if your playing Gears with the volume turned up).

I agree with you that we as consumers should demand greater quality of ANY product we purchase wether its the PS3, xbox 360 or Wii.

even if I did keep it in such a spot, if thats all it takes for one of these things to crap out, well, thats pathetic. there is zero excuse for them to produce such delicate hardware. don't spin the blame on me because you think I'm not familar with the problems these things have. besides, putting it into an entertainment center would come natural to 95% of ppl who own them, no one would really think it would be a problem.

And my PS3 has stayed on for weeks time before when i was in my dorm at school. Whipee

Mine has lasted since 11/05. As a matter of fact, its been running for the last 10 hours straight. :shock:
