Microsoft Showcases Red Ring of Death at Game Developers Conference

[Ravenas]

Microsoft's cheap attempt at screwing over gamers backfires once again. I don't know why people buy Xbox360s with such a high failure rate. Microsoft doesn't deserve your money.

Oh, and don't say the game library. Every single good game on Xbox360 is multi-platform, so there is no reason to buy a 360.

The xbox 360 lacks so much hardware and features that the PS3 has, it's horrible how M$ gets away with ripping people off dollar for dollar. :shadedshu

i think that paying for xbox live is fair i mean we get good servers and updates for free lots of demos and a regularly serviced erm service anyway you get what you pay for and as for the ps3 you dont pay so you cant complain about it

I think it's stupid to pay to play online, when I can do it for free on my PC or ps3. And updates are free on those platform as well, and they also have plenty of demos to DL and play. As such, I refuse to get a Gold account for my 360.



And about the failure comment, I know 15 people with 360s. 12 have had failures, including myself.

Where Microsoft gets people is their accessories, which are already included in the PS3. If you wanted to make a Xbox 360 quite similar to a PS3 you would end up spending 200$ or more on the Xbox 360 accessories. On top of that, they charge you for the MS network, Xbox Live, which they claim is used for less lag on their servers...Haha give me a break, the first time I ever experience lag on the PSN I'll let you guys know. The features on the PS3 heavily out weigh any of the Xbox's.

As for the proprietary components on the xbox 360, I don't even want to get into that...

I could think of better things to do with my money than wast it on a console.

What WILE E said "I think it's stupid to pay to play online" Look at WOW you pay for the game and pay to play online.

Don’t worry once Sony establishes it online gaming and it popular they will start charging.

Eh what? The PSN is established, more than established lol. Everyone is waiting for Home and XMB now.

I don't, and will not play WoW, or any other subscription based online game either.

And I doubt Sony will start charging for online play. Free online play can easily be used as a marketing strategy against MS and the 360.

LOL, this reminds me of the Windows 98 demo and the Office 2007 demo too.
