Wow, and I entered this thread thinking the OP would actually be speaking logic. I too don't like Mircosoft, but not for the same reasons as the OP. I dislike Mircosoft for caring more about money then it's customers. I dislike Mircrosoft for giving me a console that RRODed, which wouldn't be bad if practically everyone else didn't have the same problem, but they did and there is no excuse for that. I dislike microsoft for charging $50 a year for X-box live and not giving all of that money back to customers in the form of great new content. Sure, they give some good content but most of it doesn't really matter and it surely doesn't cost but a fraction of the money that they get from us. Truth be told, I just want to play my games online for free, whithout ANY of the extra stuff. I don't care about it and it should be an option. The 360 isn't my main console and it's rediculous to expect me to pay $50 a year when I might spend a month or less actually playing it online. And truthfully, the PSN is just as good for playing online, i've had just as many problems on Xbox live as I have playing PSN if not more. Case in point, one of the only games I really wanted to play online last year wouldn't even let me and still has problems to this day (Gears of War 2). There is no reason for that, exspecially when I pay $50 a year to play only a few games online. I also hate windows Vista and a lot of the things that Microsoft do as a company. All of this gives me a slight distaste for my 360, because every time I turn around it feels more like Microsoft want my money then to actually help me out and give me things as a gamer that I want. But I would never claim that they have no good games, and that the system is aweful. Sure it sounds like hoover and I hate that too, but it has many GREAT exclusives. In hindsight, it's the only console I wish I hadn't bought though, as I had to buy two systems along with a wireless adaptar, recharchable batteries for my controllers which also broke and I had to buy new ones and almost 3 years of Xbox live which is a rediculous amount, much more then I spent on one of my PS3s. Still, had I not put up with Microsofts bullcrap I would have missed out on great games like Gears of War, Mass Effect, Left 4 Dead etc. And I'm someone who likes to live by the motto, "play games and not systems" but Microsoft has been the only one who makes it had for me to feel that way.

I can't believe people actually make threads like this.

You need to get off your high horse matey. You have NO right to criticise the majority of the world's population for being simple when what you've written is about as simple as it get's and has been endlessly discussed before many times.

NEXT!

1. "America" in this context was obviously the USA (the word is often used like that).

2. Yes.

3. I thought it might give you some perspective to compare to the country you live in and are familiar with. If you look how unsignificant Norway is (or pretty much any country) you would realize how great the US is.

4. Bashing MS and the US (implied).

5. No, see no. 3.

6. What, are you a socialist?

7. Yes.

 Howow there mister. It was really hard to read you post, but thanks for an interesting one. I`ve never said there weren`t any good games on 360, only at launch. What a good game is depends on yer own OPINION which I`ve tried to explain. But don`t forget all the games you mention are multi-platform. Yes they are on PC.

You need to read all of my post why I don`t like microsoft.

Thank you for quick response.

I can assure you I haven`t tried to offend yer country. If you think so, please bring me some refference.

Well since you`re at it. Norway was two years ago the wealthiest and richest country to live in. Now it has fallen down to third place I think. Check for yerself.

This is really off topic, but I have to put you in yer place.

I`m no socialist nor a nationalist.

Okay.

Thats all I have to say. You have your reasons and thats fair. Theres other options so nobody is forcing you to buy Microsoft.

Are you serious?

Thank you. I couldn`t agree more, but I have to answer when people want to discuss my OPINIONS. Why would I write them here? I mentioned earlier that I wanted to write about my experince with microsoft on the greatest gaming site on the internet. Fair enough?

Speaking of simple minds, I'm glad I won't run into you on XBL.

You have no idea how many people like you he meets on PSN
