The heat caused by the towel resolders your broken pin connectors of the GPU to the motherboard. As soon as you turn it off, the connections break again and you get the ring next time you turn it on...until you do the towel trick again. Keep doing this, and your 360 will eventually die, never to turn on again. I know from experience. Bad experience. Its comforting to know that when I play my PS3, I don't have to worry about it unexpectantly dying on any given day. Another reason 360's a joke....

What a bunch of overly sensitive pansies. That episode was f'n hilarious.

Sheer, subjective, and unadulterated bull$hyt. This Xbot of a journalist should probably recheck his statistics before he writes such drivel-because right now he's about as full of $hyte as MS. Everyone, from the most "in denial" Xbot to the most accredited financial analyst knows that the PS3's ongoing momentum, which started last October, is currently steamrolling the competition. Anyone who wants to play up to results across the categories that reflect 360's one year lead, had be...

actually, dude, Oblivion:The Elder Scrolls IV is the best RPG ever. If you really want to get technical, pencil and paper Dungeons and Dragons takes the honor first. FF is up there, though. Especially FF VII (which I completed).

"and with ALL that the PS3 is 7 million consoles behind the 360 that has no last gen format ( dvd9 ) , no wifi , 50 dollars for live , RROD ( I even heard it was actually a 100% failure rate , ask Nasim/alexM/Tanod etc.) its 4 times less powerful than the PS3 and its ugly moreover theres nothing to play on 360 in 2008 and you can get all the games on PC anyway

and Sony still 7 million behind when they got such a weak competitor.
I mean why havnt they passed the xbox ye...

Really? That's a really broad statement. So this guy's speaking for over 300,000,000 Americans? LMAO. Well, I'm American-AND I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT FF! How can FF be boring when it has the potential to offer a different story with a different cast of characters with every iteration. FF is a brand, not a repetitious ongoing series ala Dynasty Warriors. I think the Xbot who wrote this is just jealous at how beautiful, and mind blowingly awesome the next FF on PS3 is shaping up, and at how ...

yeah. whooptie doo. The number should find its peak, and stagnate soon.

WOW!!! The Defectivebox360 is set to become the new $99.00 Gamecube in Europe. Only a fool would turn a blind eye to the marketing fact that lowering the price of goods (decreasing profit), is the desperate sign of a loser saying, "buy me, please. Buy me, please." Pathetic M$. Your money isn't everything.

Yeah. Give it up M$, you already lost Europe. Focus on North America (which you are no longer consistently winning either) just like the original Xbox. We won't even mention Japan. I don't care if 360 had a game this year that had the ability to open a rift in time and space...this is 360's last year. M$ persistence makes me want to vomit. They remind me of a roach you keep stepping on, but won't f'n die.

-actually, you misinformed possessor of that ultra garbage RROD machine, Epic very clearly stated last year that the first Gears of War maxxed out the 360. Personally, I love extremely graphics intensive games on the 360...burns the pin connectors right off the 'ol motherboard. Enjoy frying your breakfast eggs on your 360 while you play Alan Wake (puh-lease)...before the three lights come, that is. Gimme a Break!

this takes NOTHING away from the impact of the game. Kojima is a perfectionist. Everybody knows this. The gameplay movie we all saw from TGS last year shows that even at that point the game looked and played fantastic. If there are criticisms from Kojima's studio about difficulties programming for the Cell, then I think it can hardly be certain that such troubled programmers could have juiced everything the Cell can render. Be that as it may, judging from the gameplay footage I still think th...

HD-DVD to MS was just a front. Either way, their agenda's, whether hidden or not, are moot. They lose.

6522d ago 3 agree1 disagreeView comment

Yes, yes, I am fully aware that Sony isn't the movie industry in an absolute sense...but they are pretty close. Their's are the industry standards and mediums that Hollywood tends to employ, and why break up a tradition? Secondly, I oppose DDL, because it regulates and threatens a basic, American freedom which we all have right now...sharing, or namely P2P (not copyright infringement). The second a greedy pig like MS gets their fingers into the pie and determines that their profits are not g...

Sony IS the frikkin' movie industry. What's to monopolize? Also, the original post had some good points, though the English was dreadful. In the end, I would rather have a physical disc that is devoid of compression (unlike DLC), that comes with a collectable package with artwork, booklets, cool case, etc... These are the things that make something collectable, not some digital content that sits hogging space on your HDD. Some of this DLC will be limited in use anyway (and will expire), if MS...

Give it up M$. The ppl have spoken..and Blu-Ray is here to stay. Sorry it isn't a medium in which you can exploit with your own patented technologies for purposes of greedily acquiring all of the profit...guess you'll just have to sit out and wait until the next format change...in about a decade or more. If you don't accept Blu Ray you may as well make us all happy and get out of the games business now, because your 720 will be doomed. Mu, mua, muahHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

As Nathaniel’s story reaches its happy ending, I can’t help but wonder what happens to the rest of us. Will Microsoft work to improve its customer service? Will this story cause some changes to be made in regards to the communication breakdowns that occur between their phone support, their repair center, and Microsoft itself?"

No!!! Nothing Changes!!! The stupid customer service agents are still a bunch of dumb third worlders. ...the communication breakdown will continue. Oh...

GTA 4 being a success on 360 is very important to MS because it is probably their last chance to appeal to the casual and "part time" gamer crowd this generation. Whether or not they have the more successful version of the game is not important because Sony is only concerned with one thing...closing the seven million global gap that 360 got on its jump start one year early. And close that gap Sony will...thanks to GTA4.

Yes. MS will most assuredly drop the price of the ...
