Well when someone creates a topic like: "Warranty blows (MS screwed us over)" and then has a large rant what do you expect? I thought mrstickball handled it pretty well considering. I mean if someone were to rant about something on the Playstation 3 or Wii that was false I'm sure they'd get back responses that were far harder on them than mrstickball's response.

ps. And I notice as well that the people making a big deal out of this either own a Playstation 3 or Wii.

Why would mrstickball feel the need to "defend the honor" of Microsoft? Unless he is an employee of the company or Bill Gates' relative.

Mrstickball was not "defending the honor" of Microsoft, he was defending the truth. Joe started the post with a flawed premis, that the 360 only had a 30 day warrenty. Mrstickball not only had the right to correct this mistake, but he was right to do it so that Joe could get the correct information.

Yes, but he did it by implying that Joe was a idiot and chastized him for posting without doing his "research".  As someone else has stated, what would you believe, a forum poster, or the warranty documents that came with the equipment.

I didn't see anything wrong with the original post.  To assume someone knows the up to date warranty information is unfair.  He could have simply corrected him without statements like:   "and should really think before you post something like this." and "Try looking up the official information on www.xbox.com before you start posting " as if he's offended.
