WOW, my 360 is 100% completely dead

[AdmiralViscen]

Was forgiving PS2's technical foibles when the alternatives were XBox and GameCube Sfag syndrome?

How many Sony products must I buy before I satisfy ToxicAdam?

[Ichirou]

Only PS3 game I wanted was Gundam Musou and I just got the PS2 version of that last week.

[Himu]

What is Toxic talking about? I'm a proud Sony supporter and have purchased 3 ps2s!!!

[y2kev]

Only PS3 game I wanted was Gundam Musou and I just got the PS2 version of that last week.

only 360 game i wanted was IDOLMASTER but I went on Dateline NBC last week

[Ichirou]

That's nice.  Your point?

[Himu]

I want a couple of ps3 games, but ps3 could never replace my 360. My 360 is my mutli platform system.

Owning a product doesn't abscond you from being a fool. Comparing the PS2 problems to the 360 just shows how far up your ass your head is.




I'm gonna bust off an old man rant here. When I was 16 years old, I bought the 32x because I was a diehard Sega fan. Loved the Genesis, had it since launch. There was no reason to think that Sega would NOT continue with their support for this peripherial. My parents didn't support my gaming habit .. so all the money came out of my pocket.

Well, no need to re-hash history on the 32x, but needless to say for the next 10 years I did not buy ONE Sega product. Yea, I missed out on some great games .. but you do not reward a company when they fuck over the consumer (especially when that consumer is you). You have some fucking pride and keep your money in your pocket. Look, if the PS3 or the Wii isn't for you .. great. You probably already have 1500+ invested in the 360, so you're going to ride out the generation with this machine.

But going forward, if you reward MS by buying their next tinderbox despite it's past misgivings .. then it's just a sad reflection on you as a person.

i bought an hd dvd, toshiba abandoned hd dvd, omg i'm gonna abandon all toshiba products omg pride.

[Eric P]

i think the good news here is that TA has finally learned to let go and forgive past mistakes

[abrader]

just buy more blu-ray disks.

You probably should, Toshiba knowingly fucked everyone 

[Beezy]

My 360 froze on me like 2 or 3 times. That's about it. It never happened while I was in a middle of a game. either. I got one with a BenQ drive, I guess that's why I don't get DREs.

nope, i am not distinguished mentally-challenged enough to avoid all of the company products in my short life.

i mean, what did i lose? money? so what? it's not like they killed my mother.

[Mupepe]

Fuck that.  I'm not touching a 360 until I know they work well, which, well, isn't now.

I still haven't sent mine in  lolz

It pissed me off hardcore

third fucking time

lol, ok.

4 or 5 broken PS2s went through my house before the gen was over. I've had 2 360's. I know one friend who had a 360 replaced twice, two others who never had it replaced. All of my PS2 owning friends had to upgrade to a slim. My head's up my ass?

Sounds like you're the one with the head up your ass if you skipped Saturn and especially Dreamcast because 32x was weak.

PS1 and PS2 both had quality woes with disc drives, I guess you're Wii-only this gen? MS has done more to fix their 360 gaffs than Sony ever did with their previous two consoles.

And I have 360, PS3, and Wii you stupid fuck, do you even read my posts?

[Eric P]

what is that, mario party?

shame

deep shame

[y2kev]

smh at mario party

[AdmiralViscen]

It's my roommate's.

A current picture would be even worse, my friend's copy of Resistance is sitting next to it

[ToxicAdam]

It's a shame there isn't more consumer like McDragon and AdmiralViscen in this country. The American Auto Industry would be still be on top.

[MCD]

pride for wasting money on a fucking electronic  

[abrader]

Are we still debating what console has the greatest failure rates?

The discussion is over.

Fairy tale sony console failures have been debunked.

The XBOX and the X360 have the worst track record.

My only console issues ever were;

- Dreamcast not being able to read certain game/demo disks. Odd things like soaking the disk in hot water would make them play.

- Xbox 1 died DRE's - replaced it with the S-controller Sega Rally bundle.

Thats it.

My X360 never died - but everyone I know who has ever owned one has replaced it 1-2 times.

My fat PS2 never had any issues, nor did my PSOne Slim PS2, PS3 or PSP.

No nintendo failures except front loading NES issues....

[bud]

the year of the ps3 continues

pretty soon it'll be only working console you have

[AdmiralViscen]

Says the guy who bought a PS3 after the ticking time bombs that were PS1 and especially PS2 


Abrader, can you quote me one person who didn't say that the 360 had the worst quality of any console? The point is that 360 isn't the first console to require multiple replacements, but at least they're free.

[Ichirou]

Come on, dudes.  Sega screwed people over with the 32X and the Saturn (in the US, all the really great games stayed Japan-only, and then they killed the console early).  Yeah, they tried to make up for it with the Dreamcast, but it was too little, too late.  They basically sealed their fate when they killed off the Saturn (which was PROFITABLE in Japan) three years in.

And this is coming from a diehard Saturn fan who owns over 100 Saturn games.

And at least Sega's hardware was reliable.  Microsoft can't even do that.  Fuck them.

[MCD]

TA story would be totally fine by me if he had multiple 360 or any console die on him, it happens all the time (especially with the 360) but not buying anymore products from sega because they made a stupid decision with an addon and for "pride"?

It's about self-respect and not letting yourself be treated like a bitch by a big company that doesn't give a shit about its customers and smears crap all over them while smiling and saying "Hey, shit breaks."

[y2kev]

My PS2 didn't die so I bought a PS3.

My 360 hasn't died so I'll buy a Xbox 3.

I have never had any console die on me actually.

[AdmiralViscen]

That's funny, I thought it was about having access to the latest software.

MS extended and then re-extended their warranty and revised the console twice, it can be a frustrating situation but you can't say they've done nothing.

[ToxicAdam]

Well, I will grant you that the ps1 was pretty shitty. I think I had to do the "Wal-mart swap" a few times during that generation. But then again, that machine was almost never turned off during my college days.

But I never had a problem with the PS2 (I bought it when GTAIII dropped). But its probably only had 200 hours of playtime on it.

You can mock me, but I made a decision that Sega did me wrong with my money, so I chose not to support them from then on. It's really the only power you have in this country. To shrug it off and go "Hey, it's only money!" is pretty much allegorical to the Idiocracy we are slowly sliding into.

and ichi, dreamcast was reliable?

You bought a PS2 after swapping PS1 multiple times?! Have you no self respect sir?

Though I suppose self respect would become a non-issue after stealing from Walmart repeatedly.

[Ichirou]

and ichi, dreamcast was reliable?

lol, keep comparing the XBox 360 to other consoles all you want, that doesn't mitigate the fact that the 360's problems are worse than all of 'em put together.

Ya know, I owned two Panasonic TVs.  They crapped out on me, and the warranty people didn't want to do anything for me because their technicians couldn't reproduce the problem.  I'm never buying a Panasonic product again.  Sometimes you gotta take a stand and not let people shovel shit at ya.

[MCD]

i didn't compare them actually, you said sega's hardware are reliable.

If my stories help you forget about the 30% defect rate of the 360, than I'm glad I could help out.

Yep. Every ps2 owner I know had to upgrade their ps2 one time or another.

I don't know why but this made me rofl

[y2kev]

year of ps3

[Ichirou]

i didn't compare them actually, you said sega's hardware are reliable.

My launch Dreamcast still works.  I know some launch units had problems reading certain discs. 

[Himu]

My PS2 didn't die so I bought a PS3.

My 360 hasn't died so I'll buy a Xbox 3.

I have never had any console die on me actually.

I've never had a system die on me. My ps2s never "died" per se, they just got DRE's up the ass and wouldn't read non dvd ps2 games. If I put a normal video dvd or a psx game in there or a blue back ps2 game like ICO or MvC2, it'd go batshit.

[bud]

i thought my ps1 died on me once, so i got it replaced, but it still wouldn't work--or so i thought. the problem was the videocable which got messed up. i replaced that, and it worked.

and my old ps2 is kinda dead. i mean, it still reads discs, but it makes this weird engine sound when it does.

[Himu]

Oh God the engine sputter. Got I hate that shit. PS2's hardware is such shit.

[Powerslave]

fucking shitty xbox and ms.

xfags are the worst.

fine by me.

and to TA, if a 10k+ car or my hdtv died on me in a year or so I'd totally not support them anymore.

but a gaming device? i don't think so.

as for my own hardware failures, only trouble i had was the ps1, my most favorite console, to read discs i had to flip it upside down

Post of the Year.

[CajoleJuice]

This thread is awesome.

All I see is people trying to get a person to buy the console with the best software. It's just unfortunate that it's also the worst console hardware. I was weary as fuck to get a 360, but when the price dropped and the Falcons came out, I couldn't resist anymore. On the other hand, I'm a huge FPS fan, unlike Ichi. The simple fact is that Ichi won't know what he's missing out on until he buys a 360. Ignorance is bliss. I was one of the biggest "fuck next-gen" proponents until I actually owned a 360. And now I fucking love it. But if Ichi can truly wait until PS3 builds a decent library, then more power to him. I couldn't wait on next-gen anymore.

[Mupepe]

I love my 360, but it's a POS.  I'll continue to support it because (mostly) the best versions of games come out on the system and it has a terrific library IMO.

If the tables turned tomorrow, I'd feel the same about the PS3.

I don't give a fuck about these companies.  I go where the games are.

[TVC15]

But mupepe, if a single brand of condoms kept failing, how many accidental children would you have before you gave up on them?

Your post echoes my sentiment in 2006, except I'm not a huge FPS fan at all. My first FPS for the console was Halo a year later.

[Mupepe]

But mupepe, if a single brand of condoms kept failing, how many accidental children would you have before you gave up on them?

Huge difference, babe.

If my 360 dies, I can send it to be repaired.  It's a minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless.

However, if my condom fails, I have a responsibility that costs me thousands of dollars each year and physically and emotionally strains me for at least the next 18 years.

or you can "send" the child to be "repaired."  just use the special burlap sack and cinder block envelope and address it to "the bottom of the lake"
