Microsoft to recall ALL new Xboxs - GoFuckYourself.com

AdPatron · 11-26-2005, 03:21 PM

I got it from a reliable source that Microsoft is going to do a recall because the Xbox 360 crashes. Their stock has aleady started to fall Friday.

Morgan · 11-26-2005, 03:22 PM

damn... there's going to be more flooding with all the kids that will be crying!

nofx · 11-26-2005, 03:23 PM

doesnt fucking surprise me

the first xbox was a piece of fucking shit

it FROZE on me one time while SAVING a game. i lost everything and about 4 hours worth of progress.

fuck xbox and fuck M$

Furious_Male · 11-26-2005, 03:24 PM

Short the hell out of the stock first thing if you trust the source that much.

Libertine · 11-26-2005, 03:25 PM

If it's true, which I kinda doubt, it's a huge blow to them. Devastating.

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.

A relatively small number of crash reports does not mean they will issue a complete recall.

Sly · 11-26-2005, 03:37 PM

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.

It's not a small number and ANYONE can easily get it to crash on their own.

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

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.

My first gen systems always worked fine. I owned nearly every first gen system problem free.

Doctor Dre · 11-26-2005, 04:03 PM

Maybe the reason why they put so few on the store tables

studiocritic · 11-26-2005, 04:05 PM

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.

Nightwind · 11-26-2005, 04:05 PM

Hahah, can't say i didn't warn people about that shitbox.

seeric · 11-26-2005, 04:05 PM

i saw about 900 people in line at 5am when i was drunk as hell coming from the club at best buy waiting like sheep. keep that xbox 360. theres no way i'd buy one just for what the so called advancements are. i'll wait a year. everything will be cheap as hell, the bugs fixed, and the market flooded.

Which is a major problem in todays society. You have to be first!
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.

toddler · 11-26-2005, 05:21 PM

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

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.

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?

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.

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?

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

I really doubt they will recall them all. Not all are having problems.

ALL of them can crash. It's not hard to crash it, even you can do it if you had one.
