Hrmmm...."My copy of Halo is scratched. I have to buy another copy to play it". That's "more impressive" to you?

I guess you gotta take what you can get.

I'm just following the logic people use when they cling to RROD conspiracies :)


The RROD a conspiracy? It was as real as it gets. If you think that there werent people who bought multiple Xbox 360's you are wrong...i bought two, and the second one also RROD on me but i certainly wasnt going to buy a third.

Never said RROD was a conspiracy.

The idea that a massive amount of 360 sales were RROD replacement consoles, is a conspiracy.


There is no way to prove how "masive" it was the amount of people buying multiple consoles like me, but literally every person that i know that had the Xbox 360, it RROD on them. The thing is, most countries on this continent doesnt have the advantage to have a local distribution of consoles, me being from Venezuela, 90% of electronic devices sold here are imported from the US. We dont have a warranty per se of the console, if it fail you are basically fucked so my two consoles count as two sales. 

 

Also, the Xbox 360 was pirated very early on its lifetime, so people from third world countries prefered to buy another X360 and jailbrake it instead of buying a somewhat more reliable Ps3 that you couldnt jailbreak. It was cheaper at the end because games are too expensive...i mean, there are tons of reasons that make me believe that the RROD actually helped A LOT to reach the amount of consoles that we have today.
