My mind was made up on my own thru personal things over the last 25+ years. Most recently my dealings with Vista and it's failure to work on a factory computer that met it's specs and failed to function properly. But this isn't what I'm interested in discussing. As for hardware revisions, I wasn't aware of MANY but knew that they did address issues already. Keeping in mind that issues are not completely resolved. But when is "acceptable level for electronic failure rate" a number to be satisfied with. If it is still being experienced by owners, isn't it still an unacceptable problem that needs further addressing? My nephews 3 XBox 360 failures were within the last 2 years. I'd say it's a problem now in 2009. Again, if the console is a simplified computer with gaming as it's purpose, why can't it be left on like any other PC or Mac without failure? That's a fair question I think and not hating. Why should any owner of a PS360 have to deal with a console failure due to extended use or leaving it left on. Any PC users have to walk away from the computer after 24 hours of gameplay to let their computers cool down? I'd be interested in knowing. Thanks. |
Well if you've had a bad personal experience I understand, just saying the majority of MS haters here are still stuck on the MSFT goes to Supreme Court for monopoly. However more I read I have to agree with madkiller it doesn't seem like you're a consumer that knows what is going on. There is a electronic failure rate for everything, I don't remember the percent but it's generally around 3-5% for consoles but all electronic have a chance to fail. Yes a Boeing commercial airplane you've most likely flown before in the past has a electronic failure rate as well, except in this case if it fails hard enough you die (the chances aren't 3-5%). I'm not trying to say failing is good, but failure is natural and will occur.
