Forums - Microsoft - We're dizzy from Microsoft's spin

M$ tries to fool people into thinking that they have the less expensive system in the same way that the GOP tries to fool people into thinking that their recent tax cuts have been in favor of Average Americans and not for the hyper rich.

Firstly, the 360 may be $350 but they don't tell you that playing your friends online will cost you another $250 over 5 years. When this issue comes up they say: "you gotta pay for quality". I gotta pay for quality? Then how do you explain RROD?

The system does not include a high definition media player. They explain this by saying things like: "downloading movies is the way of the future". What the hell if downloading movies is the way of the future then why were you trying to get people to buy your HDDVD add on just a few months ago? Don't act like that didn't happen. It happened and a lot of people got shafted.

Finally the madness about the games being better or something, there's like 2 games on
360 that doesn't appear on either PC or PS3 where are these amazing games? Halo 3? I could name 5 games on PS3 that are easily better then Halo 3.

Only the most uninformed consumer could ever see that the 360 is just not that good of a deal at all.

Dno say: again i didnt write this but discuss.

Again? I didn't see the first time you said this. You should have made it EXTREMELY clear, right at the top of the post, that this was NOT your work. It would also be a great idea to edit in the link to the original article.

Also, it's considered bad taste to simply drop in someone else's words without adding any sort of commentary or observations or arguments of your own.

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.

I was going to jump on Dno because I know he hate's MS but I agree with the article! Thanks for the read Dno, but it would be nice to quote where you got this. I think everyone should try to at least read and discuss the article. MS is really being "redonkulous" with the way they are handling the HDD situation.
