For startes $299 isn't the cheapest 360, nor is $49.99 online, 3 year warranty? meaning you're VERY unlikely to shell out anything fixing your 360. More so your PS3 that has a standad warranty. The whole artical is BS and if you believe it then it doesn't say much about you, the fact very few places sell the WA for that price also goes against his point. |
Yes, the Arcade is the cheapest model....but then, with the way this article is going, you'd still be shelling out $100 for an HDD anyway. And I believe that he's talking about retail. Not finding XBL cards or HDDs on eBay. And the warrantly only applies for 2007 and beyond. 2005 models don't count.
Ironically enough, I told my friend not to buy a first gen Premium 360 that was at Fry's for $200 because of RRoD problems and such, and he did it anyway. Now a couple of weeks ago, it RRoD'd on him, and he doesn't get the warranty either, because his model was too old. So he shot it up, literally lol.
And I will believe that article, because besides repairs, it was spot on for my situation. I bought a $300 Pro, $50 wireless, and $100 adapter. I'm sorry that since I've bought the adapter, the cost went down a whopping $15.
And I see your most recent post as I'm typing this. You say it doesn't matter why. I say it does matter. Unless you think it's ok for companies to release shoddy products, then you have to pay for them because you were the one of the first to buy it (thus not knowing it was shoddy), and then when it breaks down on you and many others, you have to pay for it. Then you all complain, and it becomes known as a problem. So then, Johhny Average buys the same thing and pays nothing if it breaks down. Is that ok with you? That's not ok with me
