Often times I wonder why
There's love and hate, theres live or die.
When sickness comes I must decide:
When feelings go, theres suicide.

#1 rule: Wait for the second year when buying anything.Comment

Very true. Not the second year so much as the second batch. Look at IPOD Nano, PSP, PS2, and now XBOX360 that had major issues with the first batch.Originally posted by phonesex#1 rule: Wait for the second year when buying anything.Comment

A relatively small number of crash reports does not mean they will issue a complete recall.Originally posted by JoesTraffic/(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

Every major new electronic product always seems to have problems. They probably always will.
Thousands of people testing out the product verses the select few hundred during the beta phase. It sucks, but thats how things work. Home computers today still have constant software and hardware problems even after what, 20 years of existence?
I suspect the PS3 will run into problems as well. Oh well.Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

My PS2 didn't and doesn't have any problems, but this is not the point of the post.Comment

reports have also said its the power supply, which isnt as big of an issue and wouldnt require the whole Xbox360 to be recalled. dont listen to the news, they tend to take bad news and blow it out of proportion. i would watch your short very closely, because your losses can be unlimited. visa reports holiday sales are up 14% over last year, which means lots of xbox sales (and lots of upward pressure on the stock). if the recall doesn't happen, or isn't as devastating as you think, as in they just issue new power supplies and there is already a quick fix by not leaving the power supply on the ground, you can stand to lose big.
your source would have to be pretty high up in the msft organization to have info like that before it comes out, as that is info that msft certainly doesn't want being leaked to the public until it comes out.Comment

we think alike, Glad I'm not some asshat that paid 800 bucks for one of these things. I'll wait pay 250.00 and be crash free."We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does.

Maybe the reason why they put so few on the store tablesOriginally posted by rayadp05I rebooted, deleted temp files, history, cookies and everything...still cannot view the news clip. All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?Comment

put options are a lot better than shorting a stock, when you're wrong your losses will be limited to what you spent on the options.
btw, there's no news on msft stock news, i'd watch that like a hawk tho.254342256Comment

Which is a major problem in todays society. You have to be first!Originally posted by pocketkangarooVery true. Not the second year so much as the second batch. Look at IPOD Nano, PSP, PS2, and now XBOX360 that had major issues with the first batch.
If you wait too long and test your product properly, you will have less problems. But you will be second.
Todays society is running so fucking fast you just have to crank shit out.Comment

recall? pfft. maybe limited, but they won't do a global recall.Comment

I've had crappy luck. My PS2 was one of those that had the bad laser. My PSP was the one that had the pixel problem. I had some friends who got the first batch of nanos and had the cracking problem.Originally posted by wedouglasMy first gen systems always worked fine. I owned nearly every first gen system problem free.
I think what is amazing is how little these products are tested. Wouldn't you test hundreds of these non-stop before making a huge launch?Comment
-
you dont think they test them? a test is only as good as the testing process. and the bad many times echoes louder than it actually is. news reporters are looking for a story, i still havent read anywhere about the nominal complaints of the xbox. is it even over 100? the news story was originally taken from complaints being heard on gamer forums, and then a bunch of the news story places simply republished them.Originally posted by pocketkangarooI've had crappy luck.

Allow me to disagree, some people play during "stupid" amounts of time, different games, use the live marketplace service among many other things without problems

I want to see the look on the faces of the people who bought it at ebay for $1.000 up to $7.500 hearing this newsComment

Allow me to say that if it's the fucking power source overheating that is causing the crashes, what the fuck does anything you said have to do with it?Originally posted by RuiAllow me to disagree, some people play during "stupid" amounts of time, different games, use the live marketplace service among many other things without problems

That has nothing to do with it, so keep your 2 cents.Comment
