360 Premium systems get upgrades

tell that to Microsoft and Sony
and a couple million people in Asia

 

btw .......
if Microsoft had gotten the design of the 360 right the first time, they wouldn't be on their 3rd or 4th revision of the unit
and there wouldn't be several (tens .... maybe hundreds) of THOUSANDS of dead units sitting in a landfill in the backlot of there service center

I'm about to go for my 3rd unit
and :
I always leave my unit horizontal (never place a unit vertically)
I never leave it on for more than 6 hours at a time
it isn't cramped by other components
yet it's still finding a way to die

I hope these new 65nm chips solve these issues

 

one could also say that the 360 is nothing more than $400 brick
or that the ps3 is nothing more than a nice DVD player

and yes, Sony and Microsoft care about Nintendo ...... alot

 

nevermind blaze .....
it seems a the trouble was it couldn't load my campaign
I had to start all over (no biggie as I've only played through the first 2 chapters) ... it's working fine now .... :doh:

 

btw ...... for those keeping score at home

--Microsoft has shipped 1 million Xbox 360s so far this year. By comparison, Nintendo has shipped 6 million Wii units followed by Sony's 4 million PS3 units not including systems already shipped. The report says "if consumers are not lining up to buy an Xbox 360 this holiday, Microsoft clearly has problems.--

The report comes as Microsoft declared record losses this year due to a costly $1 billion warranty extension for excessive Xbox 360 hardware issues.
