Comments on: Microsoft Had My 360 Whacked (And Other Fun Stuff) http://www.ripten.com/2008/01/16/microsoft-had-my-360-whacked-and-other-fun-stuff/ All Your Geek Are Belong To Us Sat, 6 Sep 2008 23:43:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: DavidGX http://www.ripten.com/2008/01/16/microsoft-had-my-360-whacked-and-other-fun-stuff/#comment-13583 DavidGX Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:03:22 +0000 http://www.ripten.com/2008/01/16/microsoft-had-my-360-whacked-and-other-fun-stuff/#comment-13583 My second Xbox 360 died the other night. Before now I've NEVER had a video game console die on me, I was kind of shocked when it happened for the first time and pissed off the second. I can't imagine what goes through the mind of someone who has 5 - 6 + crap out on them, and I know those people exist. That must be how serial killers are made. In fact, that's the twist for Saw V, Jigsaw went through 25 Xbox 360s. And we all know 25 is the magic number when you start making torture devices and putting people in them. Microsoft is lucky as hell they've been able to secure so many awesome games for Xbox 360 or I'd tell bill gates to shove my broken system up his rich ass and buy a PS3.

But this generation it's worse than Democrats vs Republicans or worse yet lately, Republican vs Republican. Not just little scuffles anymore, fans from all sides (both politics and gaming) are going for the throat! So that the Sony's and Microsoft's, the Democrats and Republicans instigate these fan wars to split us up and pit us against each other! I'll just stick to the side lines and keep clear of the fray fighting my own brothers. Gaming and fandom should be fun, not resemble the political condition of the world! ;) @Krispy Demon

If anything, the fans are the ones stating it the loudest. The problem is that it seems to be such a rare problem that MS still thinks they can deny it. Also, a lot of people probably won't even notice. I know I could lose some achievements and unless it's something I just unlocked I would never realize it. Furthermore, if MS denies it, people won't look, but if MS comes out and says "hey, people's things are poofing" then people will look and MORE people will complain about the problem. It's sort of like the pimple analogy you used earlier. People like Dan are honest enough to tell MS they have a pimple, but MS is just trying to cover it up with some makeup so their snotty friends don't notice and start talking about them.

Informing PS3 fans of a potential problem. It's like Xbox 360 fans are denying there are any problems with Microsoft Live and it's Xbox 360 hardware. After all the difficulties just getting online on LIVE over the Holidays, was atrocious! The achievements mess, RRoD's, just mean the Xbox 360 has more than it's fair share of disappointing close encounters of the 3rd kind! He's just trying to make us all aware of the pimple on one of our gaming systems before it turns into a boil and pops pus all over us! LOLz I'm just glad Dan can make light of all this w/the wife breathing down his neck forcing him out to the couch to sleep over his late night gaming calls and problems. Plus, I don't see armies of PS3 fanboys actually descending on this story and using the information to flame the X360 like some of you are imagining in your heads! The only console with any room to gloat over anything in this thread aren't falling over each other to fill that pool with poo either! ...that of course meaning Wii fans! Just relax people. All he's doing here is his job. Which is to inform people in an entertaining way, on all the complexities of owning and gaming on the Xbox 360! Great job of doing just that Dan! ;) I think Dan Landis is only doing what Derek did with the firmware mess on PS3. Informing PS3 fans of a potential problem.

I would rather they fix the problems, do away with the tacky add-ons and provide everything in a nice looking, reliable system. Even the Zune has built in wireless. I don't understand why the XBox can't. The only reason I can think of is that MS is more established in gaming whereas in the music player scene, they have stiff competetion from Apple. @Wolf

It has to many problems. I want to get one but I figure it is worth the wait till they fix the problem. The one thing that makes me think though is like Dan how many of Microsoft's 360 sales were due to "Replacements" or "Backup's" I personally would never buy a backup system. I feel it should work as it should and not give more money to a company that gave me a semi faulty Product. This again is just my opinion and I really would like to own a 360 but just not in it's current incarnation. Personally this is why I haven’t gotten a XBOX 360 Console. It has to many problems.

The removal of my avatar thingy from Ripten! How can you not see this, people! It's right in front of you. Just open your eyes! Major Nelson is an alien and the Wii controls the minds of users by making them think they're Miis! Sony is forcing the hike in gas prices so that you'll stay home and play games instead of driving somewhere. You can see it in the commercials. All their games are covered in oil and they're singing "Do you want it? Do you need it?" Maybe I'm taking this too far? And their latest attempt to silence us!

I hear this all the time and wonder do these people even know that the flags they fly on their windows are probably made in China (esp. if they are from WalMart). @ps3fanboy

There are plenty of other people saying it has happened to them also, so I don't see what the deal is. Perhaps they are all just making it up also.

AHHHH!!!!! It's the Wiistationati! Wiiluminstation... ati? Seriously though, I'm glad that a little bit of journalistic assassination or some block-ops Microsoft agent whacking your 360 isn't going to stop you from speaking the truth. I remember one day when Microsoft said that the system failure rate was well within norms, and we all know how that turned out.

I'm not a fanboy, just a fan of the ps3 and its phone support. I still own an xbox 360 and also have a Wii. I like all my consoles. But I don't play my 36o anymore very much because: 1.) I have to pay 50 bucks every year just to play online anytime that I want. 2.) My xbox 360 had the RRoD issue last year around June of 2007. It was a nightmare to get it replaced and I hated the fact that they couldn't just repair mine and give me the same one back in return since I requested that (even though it may have taken longer I would not have cared). It took 2 months to get my REPLACEMENT back. Anyway I've had alot of other countless support call nightmares with GreedySoft. When is GreedySoft going to start giving more jobs to people in the states doing phone support. I hate alot of the companies that move jobs outside of the US. Oh well, sorry for the long complaint but I agree that GreedySoft (MS) needs to get's it's act together in it's customer service and support side of its business. When ever I call Sony Support to inquire about something, I'm always connected to someone within the USA. Hmmmm. But I still like the xbox 360, but since their hasn't been any first party title or exclusive game thats come out for it in the past 2 years that I like (yes, I don't like Halo and I don't like gears of war), I may very well sell the 360. Any takers?? Okay, now that the ps3 fanboy probably got every ones attention. I’m not a fanboy, just a fan of the ps3 and its phone support. I still own an xbox 360 and also have a Wii.

Good on you for sticking with it. Microsoft really need to be nice to people in your posistion (broken 360 owner, not as a blogger). They do seem to make it harder than it should be to play a system. It wasn't so much the techinical problems with my 360, as the rubbish service i was given afterwards. I have had RROD twice. The first time i sent it in, it was returned with no work being carried out on it. After a second try, it now just burns grooves in to the discs, rendering them unplayable, even if i bought a new 360! For shame Microsoft, for shame.

But that's just my point of view. Like you said, "It’s for these reasons that I get so upset when they don’t work." Kind of the same deal here.

They are very different animals. The definition of a fanboy is as follows: "Stereotypical fanboys are attributed with a sycophantic devotion to the creators and principles behind a work with which they are currently obsessed. Fanboys are noted for a very emotional attachment to their chosen subject, often taking negative remarks about it as a personal attack." Basically, if you love something so much that you are blind to its shortcomings and dedicated to making it appear better than everything else in every way, even if it doesn't deserve that praise, then you are a fanboy. Fanboys are incapable of being objective and thus their views and opinions can't be taken at face value. I hope this explanation puts my words into perspective for you.
