I'm on my 5th xbox, does that make me an ignorant sony fanboy?
Am I just making it up?

You say you eat through "faulty" logic, but your take on this is ignorant to say the least. There are sooooo many forums/posts of ppl going through multiple systems cause guess what?......it happens!! I had 3 disc drives burn out, one system that wouldnt read discs the day i got it back from microsoft, and (i swear im not making this one up) one system that RRoD overnight while it wasnt even on. Got up one morning and controller was unsynched and system RRoD on startup. Its awesome that RRoD hasnt happened to you, you really are lucky. BUt dont discredit other ppls testimonies just because you havent seen it happen.

 

Well, I have never questioned a poster with an objective history who has reported an instance of a RROD.

But it seems peculiar when a poster with an obvious bias reports multiple failures. It's just logic. I think any rational person would understand this.

I am sorry if this scares you, but your comment was appreciated.

Thanx.

Ummmm, scares me in what way exactly? Oh and btw its not logical or rational to believe that there is some big conspiracy that ppl make up RRoD situations just to badmouth microsoft.

And think about it, if the OP was trying to discredit the 360, why would he be so nice about it in his post?

There is nothing in his post that even suggests that he has an alternate agenda.

I think your higher education has made you a bit paranoid......

 

Right, because these kind of underhanded manipulative tactics never ever occur in the perfect world of big business, marketing or even government?

There is zero curruption. And of course big companies never pay people to portray themselves as seemingly everyday normal people over the internet to influence others in a way that benefits the company and discredits the competition?

Nope, never happens. I guess videogame software makers do not pay cash to publications to skew reviews either? Nope, everything is just perfect!

Big businesses and Lobbyist do not try to sway government officials! Because we live in perfect land!

You are right! I guess all of my classes on marketing and business ethics were completely useless! And it's made me a paranoid lunatic!!

Thank you for such an insightful and educated post. You are going places.

 

You feel better now that you got all that off ur chest???

Now not only have you made it a point to bring up your superior education (no i dont have a degree), but you try to insult my lvl of intelligence at the same time?? Come on man, you got to be able to do better than that. We can sit here and argue all damn day about who is "smarter", but the fact is Im far from being stupid or ignorant. I agree that all the things you listed in your post DO happen. There are shady tactics in all business. But to think that Dno made up this post just for the sole purpose of discrediting MS because he is secretly working for sony......well my friend does that really sound logical???

Big companies do shady shit and yes they do some far fetched things to get/stay at the top. But if you go through life thinking everything you see/hear is a lie that "big business" made up, then yes you are paranoid.

Here's a tip, sometimes, just sometimes...things are exactly what they appear to be and thats all. No alternate agenda, no secret big business spy.
