Sick of 360 bashing.

[derder]

I may have trouble explaining this.

But, let me first state that I am a Xbox fanboy. I have been ever since my ps2 laser broke and Nintendo released the bullshit Gamecube.

Before you explode in anger, let me ask you what is genuinely good about the gamecube _system_? Is there anything that makes it better than the other systems in its generation?

No.
Only the kickass (rehashed)games were.

This is not to say that I don't own any other systems: 2600, Nes, snes, genesis, saturn, ps1, n64, dreamcast, neogeo pocket, PSP, every gameboy(except lightboy), and Lynx. But, that when the dust settled after the last "war", it was clear that Microsoft's system had clearly won the hardware category. I understand that It was released much later than the others, but none of the "planned-use" features (ie. internet, hdd) ever came into true fruition for the ps2, let alone what nintendo shit out(handles and an unneccessary external power supply).

To point,

The problem with most people's arguements when talking about defective 360's is that they are overgeneralizing. They, like most people (myself included), exaggerate information to better validate their point. I really, truly hope people are not naive enough to believe that because they hear so many reports of defective units that it is a major or overwhelming problem. You are primarily hearing from the people with defective units.
I have not sought to express my gratitude for a working system. Neither have the five people I personally know with launch 360's. Nor should we have. You were not hearing from the people who don't have issues...

Until I saw the front page today telling the tale of the arduous "journey" of a disgruntled owner. :applause: He has every right to be angry. Why shouldn't he? He was obviously wronged by "M$." They went out of their way to make sure that he suffered. No other gaming manufacterer would offer such a disgraceful help-line. Three mistakes were made, all paid at his expense. Shame on microsoft for actually attempting to help by calling twice to confirm a known xbox-live problem when it was at the factory being repaired. For shame.

This is a first generation system. They were rushed to meet the demand of impractical holiday-shopping launch. I doubt that any other company in the world could have pulled off such a launch.

I personally waited in line to get my little brother's gamecube, my brother's xbox, and my ps2. Launch day. The only system(s) that still gets use at my house is the frickin' tank: the xbox. After I saw my brother's xbox I turned green with envy and went out to buy one as soon as I gathered the funds. I got home and we started to play system link halo when i noticed that my fourth controller port wasn't working. To make a short story shorter, within two weeks I had a working xbox and couldn't have been prouder. About a month later my friend noticed the same problem, except neither his 3rd nor 4th port worked. Two weeks later we were all lan'ing at my house.

I have never felt more satisfied with my encounter with any phone/website support. Ever.

I now realize that this post is quickly becoming an essay so I'll paraphrase the last bit. My dad works for sony. Still, my ps2 was going to cost 70 to be repaired after it stopped working shortly after the release of the THPS4 demo. It gathered dust until last year when I DID get the laser replaced and 2 months ago died AGAIN. I understand the DVD-lasers were relatively new at the time. As will the blu-ray lasers will be, to a much greater degree.

For that very reason I made sure to buy an extended warranty for my xbox360, even though I most likely will never need it.

He's right, we should all go back to Microsoft bashing.

Wait, you're going to deride the Gamecube becuase of an external power supply and then not even bother to mention the extraneous black box monstrousity of the 360 that could single-handedly be the cause of global warming as we know it? I'd say you have a double standard, fanboi.

I will agree with him on one thing though. The gamecube does suck:applause:

this has been happening every gen, and when the new PS3 & Rev is out the door, things are just goin to get worse...

Just think of it this way, with the 360 being 1st to hit 10 million units, before the rev or PS3 even sell 1... 360 is da shit! Just live with it.. this is the inter-web

I'm no Nintendo fan, but Eternal Darkness alone justifies the Gamecube's existence.

Am I wrong for owning a PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube, playing them all almost equaly, and loving every moment of it? Should I harbor hatred toward "The Big N" or "M$" because of something trivial?

Excuse me for being an equal opportunity enjoyer.

CAG should exile people to Gamefaqs aka Game$$$s for fanboyish statements. IP ban them so that eveytime they type in Cheapassgamer.com they get redirected to gamfaqs.com

Racist. I have no tolerance for intolerance.

[dmes65]

Cant we all just get along?

[crazytalkx]

The external power supply on the 360 is the size of the Gamecube :lol:

I heart all of my systems equally, 'cept the Gamecube did have great games, unique to the system, whereas the 360 has basically console/PC ports.

I'm sick of console/company bashing. God damn. People will not just shut the fuck up and leave each other alone about trivial bull-shit. If you don't like Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony, no one cares. I'm surprised people haven't figured out that perhaps some people just have different tastes than them; it's a shocker I know. Just because you dislike something, it doesn't necessarily mean it's "ghey" or "st00pid," it just means that either: a) you're an intolerant, beligerant ass-hole who doesn't like to try different things, or b) you just plain don't like it. Neither of which gives you the right to be the authority on what is good or not.

Also, it's not a smart move to start a "Sick of 360 bashing" thread by bashing other consoles/companies in-turn.

Yeah there is some 360 bashing on CAG. I noticed all those posts on the front page of Cheapassgamer: One about Japanese People not buying Xboxes; The other about Microsoft's bad customer service.

[btw1217]

You know what I'm sick of? The fucking Atari 2600. Mine broke after only 15 years of use, and those bastards won't even replace it. That's shitty customer service, if you ask me. I mean, 15 years?! Cmon, that's still covered under warranty.

The PS3 is so totally gonna pwn the Atari 2600.

This is the type of response I expected. That's why I devoted a paragraph to you.

No.
Only the kickass (rehashed)games were.

Read the last line again. Nintendo produces some of the best games on a consistent basis. The Gamecube is shit. No two ways about it. The games that were made for it are great. The entire point of this article is to show that the 360 is a decent system and that the frontpage is not the place to post bullshit.

[gtguru]

This site is worse than most when it comes to 360 bashing. And after moving to Japan, Cheapy seems to be one of the worst. It must be subliminal messages being broadcast all over Japan.

[Dr Mario Kart]

I feel awkward even using the phrase, 'great system'. The system is nothing without its games, it really doesnt do much good to evaluate the system on other terms, unless you mean to say that its durable or wont break down like a PS2.

The 360 is certainly a fine piece of hardware, but its not a very useful statement.

[derder]

And when he starts off by saying he's a fanboy...

... it then becomes apparent that he is biased and is fully aware. Read the post in its entirety, then comment. Its really as simple as that.

Not so. We're getting into an age where the hardware shares as much of the spotlight as it's applications.

Again, I really thought better of the people who post here. I would ask you to reread, but that doesn't seem to be your strong suit.


an unneccessary external power supply).

[Brak]

It's not an unneccessary external power supply. It's outside of the box so it doesn't overheat the console... That's what they call good hardware design.

[derder]

I am sick of people who are sick of Xbox 360 bashing, should I make my own thread with an idiotic rant too?

I would love to see the other threads in which this occurs.

Yes, you should make a page with an idiotic rant. They have one on the main page already.

[Dr Mario Kart]

I cant think of a single example where this would be the case, but my thinking of consoles is purely game-centric.

[sarausagi]

First of all, Gamecube, PSTwo, and X-Box 360 all have external power supplies

PS3 and Revolution will too, let me tell you why, overheating. It's a simply a functional issue. The PSTwo would burn in an hour if it had an intergrated power supply. Why do you think cheap mini tower eMachines break in less than a month? Because small enclosures made out of cheap material aren't made for internal power supplies. You want an internal power supply? You deal with huge consoles like the SEGA SATURN, the original Playstation 2, and the XBOX. You want small sleek sexy little consoles? You deal with the external power supplies: laptops wouldn't exists if not for batteries and the 10 pound external chargers/[power packs that come with them

As for 360 bashing, every console gets bashed, even the PS2 gets bashed, and just about everybody [non gamers] included enjoys or likes the PS2 in one way or another. Rebellious consoles like the 360, Gamecube, or Dreamcast get even more of it...

But also, it's not about software right now, the next generation is being defined by hardware. What are Nintendo/Revo fanboys orgasming about?! Games?! Software?! No, they're lusting over a freaking CONTROLLER, a CONTROLLER, not even the games that'll be used with it. What are Sony people going crazy for? No, not FF XIII or Gran Turismo 5 or Soul Calibur 4, they're raving about CELL, Blu Ray, and some stupid looking FPS game.

Naturally, what makes 360 what it is? Hardware, it's the most powerful console hands down right now, is even more of a media center than the PSX [only sold in Japan] and is high priced and an EXCLUSIVE ITEM [like the RAZR cell phone was at first]

And if you want to talk about software, 1/5 of the PS2 library ALONE can go head to head and rip your Gamecube and XBOX lists apart without much hassle, and that's not even getting into the out of print, import only, or hard to find games ,and much less counting the PSone backcatalog.

[Brak]

I cant think of a single example where this would be the case, but my thinking of consoles is purely game-centric.

The Nintendo Revolution and the DS.

They play games differently, which draws attention in on it's own.

Hell, when the handheld first came out, it sold mostly because of the hardware. "You can play it in the car, on the toilet, at work, anywhere!"

Same could be said for the home console when it initially came out.

This happens every now and then, when the way games are played differently.

The 360 is the same, as well. It's more of a straight forward approach to "gaming", but the system within the console is very multifaceted, unlike last generations Xbox, PS2 and GameCube, where you simply slap a game in the disc tray and play.

[derder]

Who cares?

Are you that insecure in your purchase that you have to defend it so greatly?

I was like that back when the Genesis was huge. Then I stopped being 10.

...

I have purchased just about every system released. Why must I repeat myself. I'm not going to bother quoting. Sweet crackers, just read it again.

I am only defending it because its being abused "so greatly."

I feel someone who doesn't use the "words" "da" and "u" should actual defend it for once. However, I doubt that people who could defend the gamecube's immense power could spell as well.

[derder]

Am I wrong for owning a PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube, playing them all almost equaly, and loving every moment of it? Should I harbor hatred toward "The Big N" or "M$" because of something trivial?

Excuse me for being an equal opportunity enjoyer.

No. Neither am I.
I doubt serious design flaws are trivial.
I hope my post does not hinder your ability to enjoy any of the systems. This is merely a defensive read.

Excellent use of exaggeration.
I agree. It especially sucks when you have a pc that is more powerfull than your 360. However, it is great that people who want to spend 400 as opposed to 2000 can get to play CoD2, Quake4, and Oblivion. Less than the cost of the videocard itself!

Yea that need for COD2 is what led me to try another 360

[derder]

Yeah there is some 360 bashing on CAG. I noticed all those posts on the front page of Cheapassgamer: One about Japanese People not buying Xboxes; The other about Microsoft's bad customer service.

I think its due primarily to the fact that people that visit this site are here to find deals on games. That would lead me to assume that they allot little money to videogames. Seeing as the 360 is the most expensive system out. The correlation becomes obvious.

You bring up a good point. Japanese people do not buy xboxes. This is due to the fact that there will never be a foreign company that can establish itself, solely because American gamers prefer different games. They dislike FPS's and love weird shit, go figure.

Finally SOMEONE FINDS THE POINT.

It is good hardware design, thank you for defending my point.
Its unneccessary because the system was not powerfull enough to warrant it. It merely allowed it to be toted over to the nearest playground quicker, and more efficiently.

[Genocidal]

I'm amazed that you would defend Microsoft's hardware when both you and your friend had defective controller ports on your systems.

This is a first generation system. They were rushed to meet the demand of impractical holiday-shopping launch. I doubt that any other company in the world could have pulled off such a launch.Rushed to meet the demand that they had caused by setting an impractical launch date. If they couldn't keep up with the demand, they should have waited until they were ready.

Until I saw the front page today telling the tale of the arduous "journey" of a disgruntled owner. :applause: He has every right to be angry. Why shouldn't he? He was obviously wronged by "M$." They went out of their way to make sure that he suffered. No other gaming manufacterer would offer such a disgraceful help-line. Three mistakes were made, all paid at his expense. Shame on microsoft for actually attempting to help by calling twice to confirm a known xbox-live problem when it was at the factory being repaired. For shame. Why shouldn't he be upset? No matter what the product I'm buying, I would be upset if it took more than two of a product to get me one that's working and working correctly. Again, if Microsoft hadn't made the 360 such a rush job, the chances of this happening would have been decreased.

While there may be a lot of 360 bashing, there's also a lot of 360 praise here. Personally, you like it, great. I hope I'm not the only one that finds it hypocritical for you to become an Xbox fanboy after your PS2 laser broke, when you had hardware problems with your Xbox as well though.

Not sure what you have against Nintendo, but if the "system" itself is what gets you off, go ahead and pop a giant boner when the PS3 comes out and jizz all over its spec sheet.

This may be hard to follow. I'll seperate the points by spaces.

I'm suprised that it was so hard to understand. I was using the fact that I was so pleased with how the situation was handled to further my point. Had I had a more difficult time, like my ps2 experience, then naturaly my stance would change. My experience was in direct contrast to his. You may leave it at that, if you wish.

No one will deny that it was rushed. They had set a date that directly related to the ps3 and revolution. I personally believe that it was a mistake to release it as early. But bear in mind, had Sony kept their word and Nintendo continued waving sticks at them, then the release would have been perfect. Microsoft has gone on record to say that it was manufactoring problems that caused the delay. No one truly believed that the ps3 would be released in spring. There aren't even blu-ray players out yet. Microsoft did not become a world leader by making mistakes.

I lost alot of the remaining respect I had for sony when they officially delayed the ps3. I knew it was eminent, but still thought that they could possibly pull it off. Microsoft kept their word in the face or corporate suicide, and has faced the consequences: The front page of cheapassgamers.

For all of you out there, just imagine that nintendo pulled a sega. Just fucking imagine what they could accomplish if their systems, post snes, weren't shit.

I would love to masturbate on my ps3, however I will have to be working my hands to the bone to have 600+warranty by november. I may not be capable.

My mistake, I've become too accustomed to defending myself.

And when he starts off by saying he's a fanboy...


Soon as i read that i skipped the rest of the post.

derder you sure are working hard to defend the 360, maybe you need to take a break have some Sunny D and take a nap and then continue to fight the good fight since it doesnt seem like your rant is working

I think I'll take your advice about the break. However, I seem to be gaining ground in this "rant."

Well... I guess I should thank you for the bump then?

[derder]

Good night, I'll be looking forward to your rebuttals in the morning.

You lost me at:

...I am a Xbox fanboy.

You lost me at:

Then why bother posting?

[RAMSTORIA]

Sigh, I guess I'll just do these in order.


This is the type of response I expected. That's why I devoted a paragraph to you.


Read the last line again. Nintendo produces some of the best games on a consistent basis. The Gamecube is shit. No two ways about it. The games that were made for it are great. The entire point of this article is to show that the 360 is a decent system and that the frontpage is not the place to post bullshit.

i sure am lost as to why the gamecube is shit then.

Fuck if I know, I've given up on understand this whole mess and decided to just watch it implode.

[kaw]

Then why bother posting?

I just wanted to point out that the rest of your post is irrelevant because you set the tone by stating you're an Xbox fanboy. That's all.

This site is worse than most when it comes to 360 bashing. And after moving to Japan, Cheapy seems to be one of the worst. It must be subliminal messages being broadcast all over Japan.

Its gotta earn its keep. yes, it's still new and there's hype for each new game that comes out, no matter how generic it looks (like the Outfit, for example) but the fact is, it still needs a few killer apps and the games that are out need to stand the test of time.

now, compound that with all the bugs and dying systems (yes, it happens to every launch system, but that doesn't excuse it) and you've got plenty of reasons to bash it.

oh and by the way, of course cheapy is bashing it from japan-- it's failing miserably over there. there are less games out for it and no one gives a crap about it. what's he supposed to do...be all optimistic about it? :lol:

Well, I know I am.

Enough circular ranting and flaming and other useless crap for one day.

We're done here.
