[quote name='whoknows']Guess so.

Because you know, the 360 constantly has exclusive games that are amazing being released.[/QUOTE]

Because you know, the 360 is $400/500.
 
[quote name='zewone']Because you know, the 360 is $400/500.[/QUOTE]

Don't see what that has to do with the games it has.

And maybe if the 360 were $400/500 it wouldn't be a POS. (hardware-wise of course)

That's the stupidest shit I've heard all day, but I wouldn't expect anything less from a moron such as yourself.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Play more games![/quote]

I wish... FM3 (no clue when released), GT5(world will end before it gets released), Rainbow six __? (I think it's in development, but will be a while).

FEAR 2 (fail), Socom (tried FAIL).

That's all I got.

Oh ouch. That hurts. really. Especially coming from you.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']I'm honestly surprised my 360 is still going. I put a ton of hours on it lately. *knocks on wood*

It'll RRoD tomorrow. ;)[/quote]I've been pretty lucky, but mine has frozen twice in two different games in the past 3 days.

:(
I've never had a system die, I don't know how to handle it.

You knocked on wood so I'm pretty sure you're safe ;)
 
[quote name='VipFREAK']The PS3 out... it's done, not much to do because either way it would cost more. Soo... why not improve it the way they should've from the start. Make some good fucking games people WANT to play. Another good start would to be to fix the damn controller so it's not so FAIL.[/QUOTE]

This is said every time people expect a price drop for the PS3. ;)

My first two broke but when I started 'taking care' of my 3rd one myself I had no more problems. :cool:

1-800-4-MYXBOX. Agent. State problem. Agent. Agent. Hopefully get somebody that speaks English. Yes, I already did that. Yes. Validate info. Get coffin. Mail in. Wait. Get 360.

That's pretty much it, step for step, at least the last time I did it.

My first one got the RRoD, second one had its DVD drive completely fail. It wouldn't read anything. This one should be E74, so I can have the trifecta.

You can do this all online now too on xbox.com I believe.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Plenty of games I want to play on the PS3. Other than the few JRPGs out on the 360, there's really no exclusives there I really want. As for the controller, I greatly prefer it to the 360 one. The only exception being when I play FPS games, and I rarely play those anyway.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, both have plenty of good games, and which better suits an individual is just a matter of opinion.

360 fits my needs more since I mainly play FPS and Western RPGs and they have stuff like Halo, Gears, Mass Effect etc. as exclusives. And controller wise I prefer the 360 one greatly, offset analog sticks are much better for dual analog games (which covers FPS and WRPGs).

As for system longevity, I've had my 360 since Oct. 2007 and have yet to have any issues. *also knocks on wood*
 
[quote name='zewone']Wii?

Melodramatic?[/quote]Wii didn't really die, just certain games (mostly VC) would get random sparkling pixels and get really annoying.

Melodramatic? See below:

People are still having 360 issues even with HDD installs?

:whistle2:s

I got my first box in October 2007, and since the NXE, I've had no problems on it.


My second 360 will occasionally hang on the friends blade of the NXE, but that's widespread.
 
So I have this second iPod Touch with music on it already. I plug it into my computer and itunes. iTunes says I can transfer my 2.whatever update to the iPod, but it will clear all the songs. So I can do that? Is there a way to get the songs on my computer? Syncing says it will just replace the iPod's songs with my library.

[/QUOTE]

1. Many don't do them as they have older models with 20GB HDDs.

2. The RROD problem is from the graphics processor overheating, doubt an HDD install would help that. That should just help lessen DVD drives dying.

I've actually never had that problem with NXE, but how are HDD Installs going to fix the system problems people are having? What the system needs is a redesign, but that's just my 2 cents.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']I have a 20 GB HDD and I still install games. I just install whatever I'm currently playing.[/QUOTE]

I actually got myself a 120GB just to install my games. :lol:
 
[quote name='zewone']The only reason I get new 360s is when they get banned (once).[/QUOTE]

You got banned before? Don't play online my friend :shame:

The games that froze on me were installed games, but I doubt the disc drive had anything to do with that anyway.

Wait, is blade lag not a normal thing?
When a lot of stuff happens at once (get message, friend invites to party) I've had it hang for 35 seconds before it fixes itself.
If I'm switching tabs and I get an invite, takes about 5-6 seconds to unfreeze.
 
[quote name='tiredfornow']8th 360? :rofl:

what the fuck?[/QUOTE]

yea, used to play my 360 alot (was a GoW nut)....weird cause its in a well vented room with AC...POS is what it is.

went through 8 360s and it broke 1 GoW disc :bomb:
 
[quote name='dallow']Zewone is the new floodz.

Banned once means banned forever![/QUOTE]

If that were the case, shouldn't they ban your GT too? ;)
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']I have a 20 GB HDD and I still install games. I just install whatever I'm currently playing.[/QUOTE]

I've thought about but just haven't bothered since I generally just play one or two games at a time and ditch them after beating them. Doesn't seem worth the effort to do the installs and deletes. *shrugs*

Guess I should try it some time and see if it makes enough of a difference.

went through 8 360s and it broke 1 GoW disc :bomb:[/quote]that stinks. I've only had one box red ring on me and that was cause it was a refurbed unit from Gamestop. Turned that in and paid 20 bucks for a new arcade, and then sold that one for a red 360. I've had maybe five 360s, but none of the replacements have been because of hardware failure besides the refurbed one (which is to be expected.. 100% guaranteed my ass. :cool:)

Not when they have an annual $50 payment they can grab from the attached CC.

10 minutes to install and 30 seconds to delete games is 'effort'?

:whistle2:s

10 min? What games have you been installing? It takes me about 25 min on average.
