Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Why do 360 fans defend MS and the 360 so much

Jesus kung fu, Thank you, I thought so.

You can't objectively say something like that. In your experience, Microsoft might be the worst of the three companies in terms of pricing, but there might be millions of people that disagree with you.

There were millions of people that disagreed with the world being round

A football team has never continued to rip me off, and give me crap after crap, and continue to overcharge for everything. A lot of what we support tends to say a little about us as a person. I support the 49ers, they may suck right now, but they have never literally screwed me, if somehow they did I would not support them.

LOL you must be kidding yourself the 49ers have sucked for over a decade so you have been literally been screwed that long, if you been a fan of them that long.  Also you must have never been to a real NFL game because the NFL has been overcharging fans for tickets, parking, beer, hot dogs etc. etc. for decades now.  Yeah I'm pretty sure you're not a real fan of the 49ers or the NFL or you would know what's up.



Microsoft=king of software

pity they suck at making hardware though

Dude, not only do I enjoy my Xbox 360 despite its shortcomings, it's my preferred console for this generation. It gets a lot more right than it gets wrong. Fuck it. Why am I even posting in this soon to be locked thread? Because I'm stupid. That's why. That's what you want to hear, right? Because we're all stupid.

All hail Sony. They are the light of the torchbearer. All hail Sony.

That's basically the idea this thread is trying to put across...I think.

OT: Erm...basically, all fans do that. And it's not like Microsoft screws people over any more than any other company, to be honest. Yes, there was RROD, which is now down to an acceptable rate and still comes with a three-year warranty. Yes, Live costs money, and it is an extremely advanced service, and really it was the first online service on a console with this many features (or really any features beyond playing online).

See, now you've got me defending Microsoft, which shows just how unreasonable you're being.

"literally screwed me"?? I hope you have never had that advance from your xbox 360 Maybe if it grew legs and it poked out it's hard drive a bit...

OT: Fans act on the premise of "Vested-Interest", If you have invested in something, you gnerally see the best in it, that's why people have loved all the consoles, amiga's, xbox's, gc, sega saturn etc. and why people continue to support their sports team.. Are the all-white's (New Zealand national football/soccer team), ever going to win a single game at the world cup? Probably no, but I still love em!

Good topic, but the answer is clear..

I said earlier today that we were running low on trolls here, the call must have gone out!

The world being round is a proven fact. Proven by all sorts of scientific theory, satellite images and even Magellan sailing around the world. Those who doubt that fact are, quite simply, idiots.

Give us a video of a large corporation (or if you prefer, a console) raping one of its customers, and I will believe you. Several videos, images, and theory to back it up. And arrange visits for us to see it in person.

Okay, that would be extremely disturbing, but you get the idea.

Chris Hu, the niners have sucked for a decade , shit even longer, but them loosing does not affect me in anyway, Yes when I go to games, Tickets are not to bad, parking is expensive but thats ok, its worth the price, so many things are not worth the price and you find out down the road. Also I tailgate for a few hours so I don't over pay for food and beer, Thank you, but your right Mr know it all I have never been to a game in my life, and i am not a fan of the NFL lol



cause my ps3 keeps breaking so its all im left to play on.
