10. I am a big Dreamcast fan so I loved the first controller. I think the 360 pad is much better, but that doesn't make the first one a "fail".
9. Eh... is this really a fail? All companies over price their accessories. There is not a single one who doesn't. And you can use cheap flash drives for storage.
8. Blaming MS for DLC? Another no for me.
7. Agreed. The spacial requirements made the first Kinect virtually unplayable for me as I had a tiny game room at the time.
6. This never happened to me, but I would agree it's a fail just because it's so stupid.
5. Did they really complain about having to buy old games? Is MS supposed to just give out the entire Xbox library or something? I think they had a great DLC solution. Could be like the PS3 where they took it away.
4. Agreed. Though, this can change completely if rumors of a new Battletoads are true.
3. No, the cost of Live was fine to me. It made possible a superior online experience. Thankfully Sony is stepping up their online game and charging too.
2. Not a fail to me because I didn't give a ****. Though, this is kind of a contradiction. Earlier they complain about having to buy accessories. Should MS have included the HD-DVD in the console and jacked up the price? That would have been a fail.
1. Agreed. Happened to me 3 or 4 times myself, though they were always quickly "fixed". Last time they replaced my console so it's never happened again. But it never should have happened at all. Both MS and Sony will have to show me something in terms of reliability for next gen.
