    JUST SO WE KNOW......

    MIcrosoft doesn't stand to profit from this
    if anything, they stand to lose more money in RROD claims (as I pointed out earlier, almost every 360 in existence should still be covered under the 3yr RROD warranty)

    I would tend to agree. This isn't some evil, conspiring ploy by Microsoft to grift consumers. Just a gross design flaw somewhere that has yet to be completely fixed.

    If the article I posted is true - and by no means am I saying it is (and wouldn't put it beyond some fanboy BS) - and Microsoft knew, why would they release it? They've lost, what, 1.6 billion in warranty issues with RROD already?

    They've really dropped the ball on this hardware issue - which, as Kami said, is the only real problem with the console itself - but releasing something they knew would happen has to make you wonder?

    Maybe they just want to send out more consoles and claim they have the lead?

    Why buy a scaled down computer as a game console?

    Don't have to upgrade, don't have to install. You know the game will work as soon as you pop it in.

    I wonder if Microsoft will enter a XBOX 720 or pull out.

    Why use a computer for gaming?

    more processing power, more ram, more hd... more and better, well, everything. PC games are superior to console games from the ground up, period. This is not a fanboy post either. I am not a pc gamer guy. I'm barely a console guy... but seriously... high end computers built for gaming are far superior to consoles in every facet.

    Indeed they are, the unfortunate thing is you spend a fortunate upgrading every 2 years.

    eg. The game Crysis you need top end everything to have it running at the best settings and it will cost you an arm and a leg to upgrade.

    Consoles last approx 7 years (give or take pending the system) and you never have to upgrade, every game will work. You just trade in a little in terms of graphic power (though Killzone 2 and God of War 3 might change that)
