Xbox Evolved reports: "Microsoft support now gives you a 3-5 business day timeline to receive your shipping box, typically receiving it by the third day depending on where you are in the United States. Originally and as late as January of this year, the process took 5-10 business days at least. Now, Microsoft gives you an actual timeframe of when you will get the Xbox 360 back from repairs also, admits they may have to completely replace the unit, and even mention that if there is any "special markings" on the outside of your Xbox 360 to protect it with a cover or notify support first."
The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.
Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.
If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."
Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"
Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"
And? What is your point?
Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"
I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:
"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."
So again, what is your point?
In an exclusive interview with GTA BOOM, former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij reveals how Rockstar North really operated and debunks one of GTA’s biggest myths.
Thank god they caught up...considering how streamlined the breaking process was.
Yeah I concur.
being out for years now that the price of actually making one has significantly reduced. It would almost seem more beneficial for Microsoft to just send consumers a new one instead of paying someone to fix it.
Chances are they have to replace the motherboard if it warps or cracks anyways. Same goes for the GPU if it damaged by heat. They could waste time and money disasembling one and it cant be fixed.
It would most likely lead to more customer appreciation because of the prompt turnaround time. Perhaps that is what they are doing because the redesign has taken effect, which has led to less hardware failure.
well thats interesting
that everyone is happy with this, but honestly it shouldn't have happened in the first place.
They only got used to fixing their mistake.
