I can see the reasons to not be interested in a 360 :P Europe not catching onto live might have something to do with them not wanting to pay for online gaming... if you play your console online for 4 years, that's at least $200 extra >_>;; As far as RROD issues are concerned, why is it only America is fine putting up with them? I honestly think I asked the right question :P I'm just worried that America's average intelligence, and money to spend, is having something to do with it XD |
As pointed out by someone else, Americans are really rather reckless shoppers. I love my 360, but I recognize that MS *really* should have put more effort into the hardware testing.
I don't have a problem putting up with the warranty replacement should RRoD ever happen to me, but I am also a reckless American consumer :P We buy a toaster at walmart and figure it's disposable.... and they may as well be, damn 5 dollar appliances break in 3 weeks. Our econonomy has been subsisting on cheap, easily broken Chinese goods for so long we're pretty much programmed to expect failure in our electronics and appliances.
When I was visiting family a few weeks ago, my brother's 360 RRoD'd right in front of us, and without batting an eye, he called customer service and had a shipping label emailed to him in about 10 minutes. It just doesn't seem unusual I guess, although it probably should.
