A blog masquerading as news. Buried as inaccurate.



yeah.. no.

I agree, it is coming straight from the company's blog (though the link you gave only sites the official source). But there is a link to the official source.



This is old news. Why are you questioning its accuracy madskillz? Question instead why Edge112 is just now hearing about this.

[edit:  never mind, I see he's new.]

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Remember when Microsoft tried to buy yahoo. and how yahoo refused and microsoft tried a hostile takeover? Well this is the yahoo payback.

There is a lot of wrong information in that article(issues with gamer tag and downloadable content are wrong).

The only suggestion I have to people buying the 360 is...don't buy used. New consoles should have a much smaller failure rate.

A short internet search reveals firsthand accounts of people experiencing exactly the same problem described in the linked material.  Has the problem been fixed recently, disolitude?

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.
