Forums - Microsoft - disadvantages of the 360

mysticD on 19 April 2009

There are sure lot of Sony troll threads lately. Is it because of the latest NPD?

From MikeB usual MS bashing (you would think Bill Gates took out his family or something for him to hold such vengence) to this so call presentation school project oh and let not forget "I got Xbox 360 so I can troll it".

I recall some of the mods close my thread down so fast because it offense Sony fanboys but these anti-xbox trolls thread are allow to fester all over Xbox forum. It's no wonder others don't take this site seriously.

Microsoft points are ridiculous, why not just have a cash value for downloads?

It simplfies selling games in multiple markets.

then sony managed to do it with real cash.

The advantage of MS points is that a game costs 1200 points no matter where in the world it is sold. Of course, this means the consumer needs to know how much points cost in their country, but thats much easier (and far more accurate) than hearing a game costs US$6 and another game costs 4 Euros and having no idea of what the games are going to cost me in AU$.

Ok, that is a valid point. But I really dont think that is the reason, but I could be wrong. I think its because there is usually a small amount of points remaining and that causes some consumers to want to use them, therefore purchasing more points to get what they want. Then there is another amount leftover. Its a never ending cycle.  Just like hot dog and hot dog buns, they never even out lol.

Its a smart and crafty business move and I commend them for that, but its irritating to some.  I guess its not really a disadvantage but more of a pet peeve with me.

When I first read the OP, I thought it might make for an interesting discussion.

*hugs 360*.

But now that I have thought about it and reread all the posts, I think it was just flamebait. Im so ashamed I contributed to this.

RROD and E74, by a milestone, are the biggest disadvantages on the X360.

Erm. On psn it shows it in your currency. I think it's like that nomatter what country you'r'e in. On my psn it shows how much it costs in KR which is the danish currency.

Yep, many people mention that as being a disadvantage as well regarding the XBox Live community.

 



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."
