I thought people had come to accept that Xbox hardware was potentially defective or its software most likely unfinished at purchase. I mean you have a console with a 30%+ failure rate and how many games in its library that require patches of some sort. Of course people are going to write this off as a non-event, this kind of problem is already expected of 360 gaming unfortunately.

I'm sorry if this sounds trollish but I'm not going to be appologetic about a glaringly obvious fact or defend a company, ANY COMPANY, who releases a defective or unfinished product. If people are fine with this, that's fine, I'm sure they've come to expect this sort of thing from 360 gaming by now, no console is perfect after all and maybe Halo 3 is nothing more than the straw that broke the camel's back of many 360's that were already on the verge of the RROD or failure. Maybe the game's not at fault at all so much as the hardware is.

Either way, you can't expect everyone to be bothered by this news for reasons stated above, however, it's on the flip side of the argument also somewhat rude to try and write this off as a non event. I know people will be digging for negative news about Halo in response to its overwhelming success and headache inducing hype, but that doesn't discredit the validity of news items that will emerge on the matter.
