Forums - Microsoft Discussion - disadvantages of the 360

k, i gotta do a group presentation for one of my classes on the 360 (don't ask the hell the 360 came up, i'm not even sure myself) and my parts supposed to be on its disadvantages compared to its competitors.  I already got the rrod, that new error (forgot what its called) and the fact that a wifi adaptors like $90 as disadvantages.  Can anyone tell me anything else?

Hard drives are very expensive (with sony you can use any laptop harddrive)
Pay for Online
Louder running
Its got the huge power brick



It's noise, (sounds like a petrol engine is inside)
It's external power source (giant brick)

Scratches your disks if you move it while running a game.



It's not pretty



Well I thought this was a bad thread that would rile people up, but if it's for your class project, I guess it's okay then.

I've reached my sarcasm quota for today. Phew, thought I wouldn't make it.

I looks really out of place in the sitting room, not black like all the other electronics. It uses a cd tray instead of being able to turn the machine on by just sliding a game inside xD It has a banana on the inside if it's one of those new jasper models



Hardware failures and the d-pad other than that, 360 is gaming goodness.



RROD and E74 error as well as disc scratching. Other than that it is IMO perfect



Long Live SHIO!

the only disadvantage i have is the lack of time to use it.



Yep, i'm a girl
