dude, you are saying you bought a 360 arcade that came with kung fu panda and indiana jones for $199. But the thing is Arcade comes with Sega Tennis. And then you Said you sold those two games back to walmart, problem there is that the games come in one case and if I remember correctly there is no barcode on that case. Something just doesn't fit.

 

You got me who the are you anyway with ur little 5 posts account to bust my chops i thought it would of been someone with a higher post count or a familiar 360 fan to get me on that 

ok i never got kung fu panda or indiana jones with the arcade i just put it down b/c i didnt want to get a bunch of flame posts about how much i wasted to switch over i wanted it to seem like a got a good deal i really spent around 140+$ + tax stuff to do the whole switch over i fixed the original post

i thought it would of went by unnoticed didnt think people knew the bundle data but i bet they looked at my pricing hystory thread to get it

Thread inevitable turns into a Sony defence thread the normal candidates are all present.

RANT Initiated...

Good luck with your RROD - Obviously the fact he has not purchased a model that suffers serious RROD issues should never get in the way of a good story.

HDD - My console can use any drive argument. The fact he got his particularly cheap and that second hand and even new drives can be purchased at reasonable prices again should not detract form the fact he paid a reasonable price and is in fact left with a drive he has no use for.

What about Xbox live PSN is free - I did not see anywhere that he said he was playing online at all so for all I know he is using his free Silver service. That said most 360 users appear willing to pay for the service and I am guessing they feel it provides a good service, looking at his line up I suspect he will be a gold member before long.

I see nothing wrong with any of these statements what annoys me is most of them are done in a snidey manor or in a smart alec way.

RROD - Yes the 360 did have a reliability issue, is it resolved. Possibly but it certainly is not an epidemic in the newer models. If anybody buying a new 360 is given the RROD treatment I think that person is being unfair to the console. If that person is buying one of the older models then I think that then becomes sound advice coupled with the reassurance that they have some recourse if the console is less than 3 years old.

HDD - It is true the 360 does have propriatery HDD it is also true that not all console users even need a drive at all. This again needs to be balanced against a user buying an Arcade today and in 6 months deciding that he could do with a HDD and buying one later. It is in fact a strength of the console albeit with a higher than I would like price tag for that choice.

Gold Membership is $50 dollars PSN is free to play online - You know what I am not even going to argue that one because it is not really apples for apples. Some say the live service provides a better platform for multiplayer gaming others say it is not worth the $50. I hail from a PC platform so I am not a big fan of paying for my game time, personally I want to see more for my money and would like to see MS host dedicated servers because as good as the service is once they guy hosting the game wants to go to bed you have to as well. That is well annoying.

RANT Deactivated...

 

It's ironic when one switches from ps3 to 360 because of "reliability" so RRoD mentions were inevitable

why would you feel the need to lie about bundle data to make your purchase look better? I didn't realize that "flame posts" got to people that much. If you're worried about them, you should have simply kept your purchase decision to yourself

have not read the whole thread but if I were you I would not put all my eggs in one basket concerning 360.
Trust me it is not reliable hardware and most likely will break in some form or fashion.
In saying that it is a great gaming console and the live is second to none.

The only way to redeem yourself now is to add someone from VGChartz on XBL and have video chat/voice chat sex with them. ¬_¬

To restore balance to the force im going to have to sell my two Xbox 360s.

1 heater + 1 xbox 360 console did no result in RROD last year... So I will have to redouble my efforts and stack two Xbox 360s side by side.



Tease.
