What if it didnt RROD 54.2% of the time?
What if it had Wi-Fi?
What if it didn't Scratch Disks?
What if it could play Hi-Def Movies?
What if it didn't charge you to play Non-MMO games?
What if it wasn't made by Microshaft?
What if these anti-ps3 desperation articles didn't appear in the ps3 section of N4G every day?
What if it wasn't the "utterly complete waste of plastic, not good for anything but a portable heater, piece of consta...
Never noticed this before but I laughed.... hard ;)
Meh, I don't even both readin' these articles anymore. Their ships sinking and they're grabbing every piece of bad propaganda they can to plug the holes with. Wankers are just upset they bought faulty hardware and tryin to take out their aggressions on the big boys toys ;)
Lowering the price.... wow! So tell me...
Does it now come with a "Microsoft(tm.) Wet Towel" cooling system or are they also planning on lowering the current Failure Rate from 54.2%?
Has it finally been taught not to chew up expensive discs? Dvd's should be read with a laser, not a phonograph needle.
Can I now watch Hi-Definition movies on it? Oh wait....
Is it now Free to play Non-MMO games online?
Yeah, I thought...
=)
I suppose in some ways it's looking good....
Winter will be here in no time and I could use a cheap heater for my room while I'm playin Wii & PS3 ;)
"54.2%"
Wii Failure Rate: 6.8%
PS3 Failure Rate: 10.6%
Xbox Failure Rate: 54.2%
XBox Failure Rate AFTER being repaired: 41.2%
Praise the XBox all you want, those numbers are all I need to know. NO amount of bad publicity is going to change those figures.
"The survey also found that 41.2 percent of Xbox 360 owners have suffered a second failure after having a console repaired, while 69.9 percent of Xbox 360 owners have friends who have suffered ha...
Isn't it funny that as soon as Sony makes their move and PS3's start flying off the shelves in record numbers that we start seeing article after article of "Why PS3 will fail!" and "Buy laptops instead of PS3's" and every other pathetic thing these people can dream up.
Spinning whatever rhetoric you want does not change the fact that pre-orders are already racking up numbers and most stores have already sold out of their 80g stock.
These articles ...
Yeah I saw that! Had to setup a second Amazon account just to get two of 'em on order!
Seein the same in my area for 80gigs too.... Bestbuy, Target, Gamestop, WallyMart.... All gone already ;)
No, the first thing they should do, (aside from stabilize their hardware of course), is not charge gamers to play non-mmo games online. I mean, is it really just me that thinks this??
To me, I see this as the equivalent of stopping by the local arcade at the mall to play some games and being told I can't unless I become a member!
Arcade Owner: "Sorry sir, you cant play games here without a membership."
Me: "Wtf? This is an arcade isn't it?...
Like we didn't see this coming... The difference is Sony does a price drop because they CAN, M$ does a price drop because they HAVE to.
But hey, I guess I can understand that....after all, when your console has a failure rate of over 50% you have to do whatever you can to keep trying to sell them.
50% people! I'd love to be able to not get fired if I failed at my job 50% of the time! When a product fails THAT much there should be lawsuits flying...., not a blin...
Yeah, BC is nice but certainly not a deal-breaker. I got my PS1 2, 3 & slim on Preorder & still use em all ^^
Woo! Just pre-ordered mine baby!! Go Sony!!!

Wonder how much Microsoft paid for them to run that ad? *eg*
Well, you know what they say about assuming eh?
First off, I support ALL gaming systems that deserve it, not just Sony/Playstation. Personally, I still prefer the PC but thats just me.
As far as my Logo goes, just as much as I support all gaming systems, I consistently do NOT show any support to Microsoft whatsoever. If the XBox had been made by a true gaming company instead of a garbage wanna-be software company, I'd support them and buy their console as well.
Wow! Nothing says support like servers crashing from the massive floods of traffic after Sony's announcement!
Go Sony Goooo!!!! #1 Baby!!! :)
I already own the 80gig but I still plan on buying the Slim too! Always support those that deserve it and they will never fail you ;)
From what I understand they aren't closing. Some company bought their site and they're going to re-open it as some form of pay site. Basically the 'Napster' scenario all over again.... Sucks, I liked their forums....
"What? There's still an industry out there not being flooded with commercials, billboards, spam and popup advertising?? We cannot allow this!!"
"This reply brought to you by SteelShaft(tm.) Seal Clubs - Buy one today!"
Y'know, I just have to call on this simply because I'm curious. So tell us, in a reasonable amount of words then, just why you prefer the 360 and include your "List of features" that YOU personally like. I seriously am curious what 'features' the xBox has that other game systems do not.
*hint* "It's cheaper than sony" is not a feature.
