I disagree. I do not respect the opinion of an idiot. What's an idiot? An idiot is someone who goes out and buys a product knowing that its egregiously failure prone. I myself considered an XBOX 360 in late 2008, but when I heard about the breakage (50% of every owner since 2005has had a broken 360), there was no way I would buy one. My parents taught me better....its common sense really. Its like, when did people become so simple minded and foolish? When was it ok to put your hand in a proverbial fire to get burned over and over and over again? That's simpleminded logic even a pre kinder gardener can understand....literally. |
So all Xbox 360 owners are idiots? Thats about as simpleminded a statement as your pre-kindergartener analogy.
With Microsoft's hassle free and FREE repair service nobody got burned in any "proverbial" fire after the retro active three warrenty was instituted. Microsoft has bent over backwards to solve the problem including the three year service plans on all replacement units. That means if you keep having issues they'll keep fixing it for free and restarting your warrent plan. Who else doesn't that? Not Sony and while it doesn't make headlines the PS3 has its fair share of failures with no extended warrenty, just an expensive repair service.
Halo is a top quality series worth playing and as someone who owns an Xbox 360 that has never broken down I can tell you that you should not be afraid of an overstated unvarified failure rate. Besides Halo there are plenty of exclusives worth playing that as a gamer you should want to play. Personly I think all 3rd party games should be multiplatform, but that is besides the point.
I'm not going to insult you or anyone who differs in opinion though. My parents taught me better, it's common courtesy really.
