In my family we specialize in tearing each other's throats out.I'm a fan of Ghengis John's harsh criticisms.
I call bullshit. Where do you work, the "smash an xbox with a hammer" factory? I notice that you yourself do not claim to have ever owned one. Funny how that works huh? You have no first hand knowledge and a vehement opposition to a product you've never tried. Fanboy.
You're spouting some seriously outdated propaganda. The failure rate has been on a steady decline since 2008, when changes were made to the design.

Because you're so impartial right?
So 15 xboxes and not one of them took advantage of the fact that MS repairs RROD'ed consoles for free?
It could happen to you, folks!
You are such a fucking toadie.
All in all, I rather pay $50 - $60 A YEAR and have good connection...then to be playing on a free network and then have this happen.
But hey, this is just me.
It's not a matter of pride, iKo, it's simply as a matter of fact. When you know something to be a fact, in opposition to a lie, it's difficult not to share it. I find your amusement amusing, but I'm hardly going to embark in a debate with a man who understands Satre so much better than I do. In any event you've misunderstood the reasoning, it's simply opposition to ignorance. We'll leave the irony of the situation under the table.Edit: I also find it somewhat amusing how people are proud that their x-box hasn't broken down yet. While I have barely been in contact with people who own x-boxes since they supposedly fixed them, I would be more surprised if x-boxes were still as stupidly defective as they were the THREE years after it launched.
Would you hold it against me if I said I like you when you're bored? :DNote: I should probably document this as well...this post wasn't meant to go towards ANYONE on this thread. I was just bored and wanted to talk about something. This is more towards all of the PSN Online Fanboys shitting themselves.)
Second, you can call BS or not, but since none of the people i know are members here you can say what you wish. They stated to me what they said, not to you, so you can call it how you want to call it. But if people who owned one, gave it a bad rap when they talked about it, then why would i want to get one anyways? Kinda like getting info from your friend about a car before you buy it because they had a lot of problems with it. So let me ask you, do you still buy the car or do you rethink the decision by the information provided to you by those who have it? lol Simple way of thinking right?
You want to talk about a "small view of thinking"? You can't even exercise common sense. Please note the graph reflects the failure rate after ONE YEAR of ownership. That failure rate as of august 2009 was about 1%. Even if you were telling me that somehow these five people all got the 1% of consoles that would fail after a year, repeatedly, without interruption and without exception the odds would be astronomical. Try flipping a coin and getting the same result 15 times in a row. Now you're telling me you are rolling a dice with 100 sides and getting the same number 15 times in a row?! Let alone the fact that these consoles all failed in less than one year. Which is even rarer and more unbelievable. Lemon of the bunch? These guys would have to have a fucking lemon tree to see that many lemons. No, you just lied your ass off and you got too greedy to pick a believable number. Now you're caught and you won't be a man and fess up to it. Pathetic.Now the link you posted still shows that there is still a failure rate. The decrease might correct but the thing that you need to remember is that they could have gotten the lemon out of the bunch. So it still counts as a failed console right? But of course, you would not think about that would you? Pretty small view of thinking if you ask me.
At least you're honest about that.Asking if I'm impartial, in a thread about PSN. I will just not respond to that at all since it would just cause unneeded responses..
They did not do it because they do not exist. I was perfectly willing to let you pass with a self-deprecating joke till you whipped out that whopper. You insulted my intelligence with that lie there. You could have been smarter about it you know. 15 people all got a lemon, that is vaguely believable, who knows how many people you work with. 5 people are so hated by the fates that they all got 3 lemons in a row? That's too much. All you need to do is go "hey, sorry I lied, I know there is a failure rate and I exaggerated." That isn't so hard. I put my foot in my mouth all the time and I fess up to it. Owning up to your mistakes is part of being a man.Now about the 15 Xboxes, they chose what to do, not me so if they did not want to, then it's really their choice right? lol so what do you want me to tell you about this? They did not do it, so they did not do it..lol
I felt offended you would think I'd believe that ridiculous lie. That was offensive. I am more offended still that you persist in the lie. What am I to say that is good about that? When somebody lies, the important thing is why they lie right? I could think of nothing positive behind your reasons to lie. Ignorance? Corporate partisanship? Jealousy? All are reprehensible. Without knowing the reasons I can only rebuke you for thinking you somehow needed to lie to me.So, I am a "fucking toadie" lol man how old are you? really? Sigh, this is the reason why i think people behind a keyboard love to act a certain way because they are behind the keyboard. Nothing was said to you in an offensive manner and because you could not find anything good to say, words like these are used to show that fact.
After you assured people that it wasn't time to panic and switch to a system that would light their house on fire whilst leading them back to the ps3 anyways you told us all that this was really nothing to get upset over and we should all just hush up and accept it because we should be used to it by now. Seriously, you realize how you look like a zealot right? It's one thing to be anally raped by a corporation, that's business as usual for them right? It's another to expect people to smile while it happens. People should get mad when they're wronged. I personally wasn't even mad about it anymore, and I'm still not. But I don't think it's right to accept that this is just the way our social betters operate and it's not our place to question it. I find the notion distasteful.Those words mean that its an opinion that i had about the whole situation.
Ugh it seems this thread has also turned into a PS3 vs Xbox flame war..... sometimes I lose all hope on humanity ^_^

I should have been more clear as to why I don't mind paying $60 a year. In MY PERSONAL OPINION, I feel like Live delivers more and is worth the money. Sure it might not secure me 100% , which I am aware of, but I love the services it provides.Maybe you feel the need to justify more your payment of 60 dollars a year, but you're probably deluding yourself if you think that any significant portion of your xbl payment goes to making it a more secure network. Most of that just goes towards Microsoft's bottom line. If Microsoft did not charge for their service, given their spending power, I find it extremely unlikely that they would have any less secure systems.
Only if they are offline players....if not, considering how everyone (PSN online players) are bitchen and moaning about not being able to play MK or CoD online, I beg to differ. :PI can tell you the majority of people that buy the PS3 or initially bought the PS3...could give a shit about online
