What needs to be "proved" here? :P MS estemated that repairing their systems would cost a billion dollars, it exceeded that so now they're forking over more money. It's like you take your car in for repair they estimate the damage, it can exceed that, the billion dollars they set aside was an educated guess on how much it would cost so really what was proven here? That a guess can be wrong? |
We knew that it has already exceeded the 1 billion mark.....

Read the new Game Informer with Rage on the cover.
It's in there.
This is NEWS to some of you? M$ expensed out this amount LAST year, and still record 426 million in profits for EDD, so you guys need to read some financial statements...

Yeah, but it couldve been TWICE that amount if they didnt have the RROD problem.
They couldve used that Billion to create new development houses, buy new exclusives, etc.
| The_God_of_War said: OK but talking about RROD is so 2007. |
Talking maybe. But happening is still so 2009.
To think all MS had to do is fix the problem and maybe it wouldn't be such an issue but I've yet to see a large scale attempt to actually fix the problem. They seem like they are more content with letting the systems fail and replace them which decreases brand popularity than actually make a constituted effort to solve the problem. If this keeps up next MS system won't be called the Xbox. Problem may not be as bad as it was in 2006 but that it still exists and we are in 2009 shows just how bad of a problem it is and how much MS actually cares.

Aw, you're just saying that because they base their review scores on what games GameStop wants to pimp that month. Remember 8.5 for State of Emergency?
