I'm on my 5th xbox, does that make me an ignorant sony fanboy?
Am I just making it up?

You say you eat through "faulty" logic, but your take on this is ignorant to say the least. There are sooooo many forums/posts of ppl going through multiple systems cause guess what?......it happens!! I had 3 disc drives burn out, one system that wouldnt read discs the day i got it back from microsoft, and (i swear im not making this one up) one system that RRoD overnight while it wasnt even on. Got up one morning and controller was unsynched and system RRoD on startup. Its awesome that RRoD hasnt happened to you, you really are lucky. BUt dont discredit other ppls testimonies just because you havent seen it happen.

 


Well, I have never questioned a poster with an objective history who has reported an instance of a RROD.

But it seems peculiar when a poster with an obvious bias reports multiple failures. It's just logic. I think any rational person would understand this.

I am sorry if this scares you, but your comment was appreciated.

Thanx.



I'm not a fanboy, I just try to tip the balance in favor of logic and common sense.

and looking at your post history (all 54 of them....) it seems you are pro M$... so can i ASSUME that you are here trying to di some damage control?
Because that is or course how you looked at me.

 

(see i can be a child and say "cute" like you also^^)

 

One could make that conclusion; however, I just believe in balancing things. There is a massive following of PS3 supporters on this site who often just communicate things that are flat out wrong.

The very strong support for the PS3 on this site  is fine, but so many cheap shots are taken at the 360 and many times with very little merit. Rabid fanboys can support their system and still communicate with tact, logic and intelligence, but that doesn't seem to be the case. If the tables were turned and the PS3 was in the same position, I would defend the PS3. Any system that has released in the states, I have owned (don't do portables).

There is no need for me to defend the PS3 (it has a strong following represented on this site), Wii sales and profits speak for themselves (no need to defend the Wii).....

 

 

But all arguing aside for one post jcp234..

In my op (just answer this question) did it seem like i was attacking 360? i even said that i love that system and i couldnt live without it.

I just dont undderstand the hate you gave me thats all.

bad luck man. I've had two. The suckiest part about RROD, well actually everything sucks about it. No games for like two weeks, possible second purchase, living in fear so on and so forth. I still have one but I haven't played it since trophies came out on ps3.

About ffxi, both of my disc drives that burnt out were while playing ffxi. I would reccommend playin on PC if possible. Thing about ffxi on 360 is the disc NEVER stops spinning, and im sure you know how time consuming ffxi can be so think about that disc drive just spinning all that time. I know it doesnt make since, because the game plays off the HDD but for some reason its programmed like that.

 

 o i KNOW that i play ff11 all the time and it was prolly my fault but should a system be defective 4 times? in 3 years

I also play a lot on ps2 and ps3 like bazzar and stuff so its not like i play on 360 ALL the time lol. (i do love ff11 in HD tho!!!)

Yea mab your right tho i should just get the pc version. thanks for your post as you didnt attack me of claim im a liar lol.

Ummmm, scares me in what way exactly? Oh and btw its not logical or rational to believe that there is some big conspiracy that ppl make up RRoD situations just to badmouth microsoft.

And think about it, if the OP was trying to discredit the 360, why would he be so nice about it in his post?

There is nothing in his post that even suggests that he has an alternate agenda.

I think your higher education has made you a bit paranoid......

I am sorry if it came off as hate, that was not intended.

I was speaking in general, it just so happened that this thread presented the opportunity to communicate on it.

You have to admit, I am sure that there are some (not saying all) who are falsely claiming multiple 360 failures and probably do not own a 360 at all.

If you truly are on your fifth 360, that is unfortunate (I apologize).

My way of communicating can come off as a little bitchy and catty. But it was entertaining chatting with you...helped kill a little time at work.
