We sure are hypnotized by Microsoft, it's kind of scary... Any other brand having that kind of flaw in its product gets banned from our house for life, not Microsoft products, we forgive them so many times no matter what happens next...

Windows crashes, ok, restart and continue, BSOD? hope i saved my stuff and i better check how i handle my PC, Registry? just format, IE? i don't mind that browser, Office problems? reinstall, and the list keeps going and going...

Meanwhile, i've seen people that say "My Samsung TV doesn't show picture, i'll never buy a Samsung TV again"... But the 360 gets the RROD, i don't hear them saying "I'll never buy a Microsoft console again"...

I don't know, maybe it's just me...

 

you've got a point there.

I think it's because that's what we expect from Microsoft, we expect disappointment, and once it arrives we're not surprised, but other brands you expand brilliance and quality, and if you're unlucky and happen to get a fluke it has a different effect on you.

 

LOL you can say that again! I knew full well what I was getting into when purchasing a 360 for X-Mas last year so all I could do was shrug and laugh at the situation when it happened to me.

There are only 2 electronics manufacturers that I can think of that I've never had a problem with and can purchase their products with confidence, and they are Nintendo and Panasonic...

I have owned all of Nintendo's systems and handhelds which, aside from the GC, I never had a single problem with, and have now owned 3 Panasonic TVs, a VCR and DVD player, stereo system, portable CD player and camcorder and never had a problem with any of their producs. I'd give an honorable mention to Sony too, but we did have a problem with a TV set years ago that we returned and exchanged for a Panasonic instead, but they are right up there in quality, just a bit more pricey for my liking.

Ninny? Are you serious? Wow ... my NES and my SNES, I had to blow hard into the cartridges to get them to work, AND had to depress the NES cartridges in a certain way to get them to play - and constantly had to reset the system. Don't know what you are talking about, but every homie I know with an NES did the same thing.

Panasonic? Meh. All stuff breaks. I had a horrible time with Panasonic remotes (2 for TVs and 1 for a VCR).
