Read this a bit ago on yahoo and was laughing my ass off. I'm sure all the MS fanboys will have some spin angle but the stats dont lie. Also keep in mind that its said the percentages quoted are largely under reported.

The question is why would blu-ray want to be a part of it.

That's COMPLETE BULL$HIT!

You have to wait until at least August for the "Jasper" version to see if that one is not also plagued with RROD

Anyone purchasing the Crapbox360 as it is today can look forward to this:

You must be like one of those trained monkeys in countless customer service positions faining ignorance about a known issue with an "XYZ" piece of hardware

Does this sound familiar?

"Oh? I'm sorry to hear that? I've never heard about that problem before and i've been here for years... Let me check with my colleagues and manager.... nope, they've never heard about this problem before either. You must be VERY unlucky"

I'll say this for Microsoft... they've trained/brainwashed you quite well

Ill say this, the ps2 had the same amount of problems, although my personal system never broke, so i didnt complain about it then either. Oh wait, as sony fan #1 im sure you are going to tell me that the ps2 never had the same amount of problems LOL.

the funny part about this forum..if i bring up the ps2's high percentage of dre's a ton of people join the argument and say their ps2 works fine, and try to me look like the idiot. but when people come to the table saying their 360 is fine, *they* are the idiot.

I went through 3 360s before I gave up and bought a PS3.

When MS gets their act together, I might consider getting a 360.

I'm quite civil... except when people complain about post contents like smilies, pictures, youtube videos and start hinting at "Vacations" and start asking Mods to get involved (crying to "mommy" syndrome).

Complain about the ACTUAL CONTENT of the posts if you have to ... not the packaging

P.S. I will also get quite unruly when people argue illogical positions/arguments (not you... just people in general).

I can understand that. My friend has had his 360 break twice and then he got a ps3, which then broke twice. Now he swears he isnt going to play games anymore. I have to believe he was doing something wrong to have 4 sytems break though.

Yeah but the problem is that half your posts, dont have content! its just packaging! A point isnt made by just linking to videos in every post. Type out your thoughts and it works better

the majority of your posts are copied and pasted from other posts. you cheapen the forum down with your constant nonsense. and when the only content of your posts are filled with video's, smilies and all the other bs, i AM complaining about the actual content.

attempt to be a little more mature and we'll get along just fine

Not the majority but maybe perhaps 25%... What can I say... I like beating people over the head when they deserve it and lack the time or patience to go about it in a different way every time

One person's nonsense is another person's logic and valid arguments (many agree with me BTW).

That's just like complaining about spelling mistakes = it's unnaceptable

This is an internet forum, not a boardroom. If this is your job then don't take it so seriously. If your out here, like most of us, just to hang... then chill the F out and/or STFU
