"Come on, Xbox fans...really?

While Sony maintains that the reported problems with PlayStation 4 launch units are rare, it's a little unsettling to see so many ticked off gamers. First it was the "Red Line of Death" and now it's the "Blue Line of Death." Obviously, a few systems do have issues.

But I find it absolutely sickening and embarrassing to see video game communities flooded with Xbox loyalists who are laughing about this. Laughing gleefully as if it's the funniest thing they've ever heard. Really? Really? Either these people have really bad memories or they're just really that stupid. For civility purposes, I'll assume it's the former.

Have they all forgotten that the Xbox 360 may be one of the worstconsumer products to ever be released to market in any category of goods and services? Do they not quite get that the term "blue line of death" is a version of "red ring of death," which wouldn't exist without the Xbox brand? We're talking over a 30% defective rate reported by five major retailers in North America, and it took four years for Microsoft to fix it. First they said they had no idea what caused the RRoD; then they pop up years later, after millions of additional purchases artificially inflated their sales numbers, and said they'd fixed it. "Here's a new system and now it actually works."

But above all else, I wasn't laughing when that was happening. I was disgusted, but I still felt bad for all the gamers Microsoft continued to fleece, over and over. I was a little concerned for the consumer's lack of intelligence - when someone tells me they're on their fifth 360, I have a question concerning potential brainwashing - but I didn't think it was funny. So, they're not only being childish about this PS4 issue, they're being vindictive, too. Listen to me very carefully, Xbox fans- if there's one aspect of game hardware you are never allowed to crow about, it's reliability.

Talk to me after the Xbox One has been out for a week and it has zero reported issues. I won't be holding my breath, though."

Yeah...Lol

Does anyone have a working original xbox 360? I'd really like to know how many are actually still working!

Maybe they're making fun of them because Sony fans shit all over the Xbox One for the last 6 months...soooo karma?

By original do you mean any white fat 360 or the very first models in 2005?

I've actually seen very little of this, and I feel gutted for those it's happened to as it must be a pretty shit feeling.

100% believe if the tables were switched tho far more Sony 'fans' would be bragging ect. Seen that over the last 6 months.

Nah, people are just trying to be "The victim" when Xbox fans aren't even as obnoxious as they were.

There will be reported issues. PS fans will be a lot worse when it happens though. it's this fandom thing thats happening now. Both sides are hopping for failure of the other side to I don't know, further justify their brand of choice.

I don't wish that on any system though I myself have had 2 pas2's fail and 1 xbox 360 fail, I imported them as nothing releases in my country so I got no warranty benefit. This causes people money. and the more you wish it, the more chance it might probably happen to you. those people who never had a console fail on them don't understand. and those people waving fan flags for MS aftr having several 360's fail on them are drones.

It is like you say, the "of death" thing they throw on everything came only because the xbox 360 was created.

^ I just watched this episode today.

Now everyone carry on with your regularly scheduled thread.
