Microsoft and their dang hardware!

[Joelcool7]

Alright am I the only one who has owned virtually every platform and is only now having a problem with one?

I was always a Nintendo man myself. I always bought Sony's platforms two or three years into the cycles. This may be why I never bumped into a crappy Sony console. I bought my PSP last year in early half of the year and it has been fine till now. I am just pissed because Microsoft stated the Falcon chipset was supposed to be the fix for the 360. I remember hearing it was the answer to all the 360's problems.

I bought my 360 in 2007, the first of the Elites. I bought it launch day expecting the hardware to be solid and fixed of all the problems the origional 360 had. But what do you know , I get the same RROD that all the prior consoles got. I paid 650$ for my 360 and the dang thing still Red Ringed on me.

Now I have to send my 360 in and I hear the fixed console only gets a 3-month warranty. I don't trust Microsoft anymore. You'd think that years after launch they would have fixed all the bugs. So far people on this site seem to complain about launch consoles. But Sony and Sega and even in the rare case Nintendo. All three of them worked the bugs out and worked past the hardware problems!

If you buy a PSP today, you likely won't get dead pixels. If you buy a PS2 you won't have DRE problems. If you buy any Nintendo console, you won't see any problems. But you buy a 360 and still have RROD.

I hope next generation that Microsoft fixes these hardware melfunctions before releasing the danged hardware!
