Yeah i know that but... Its less than a year old,iv had 3 problems already and....im not made out of cash....Im gonna using a half ass broken controller, oh im so broke im Silver, not cus i wanna be cus i aint got no money, but hey Its free play this Weekend, so im all good lol

i'm made of cash and I had no problem whatsoever with the 360... life is funny like that sometimes ^^.

 

(on topic... the 360 controler reqlly feels sturdy for me, i'm amazed you have trouble with it... is it perhaps a problem with your rechargable battery? as in does it work fine connected with the charge cable? i'm assuming you use a wireless one of course...).

I know how ya feel, my wii's disc reading function died on me. So its being repaired by the good people at NOA. The think that sucks is that mine is a first generation wii. I never had a problem like this til now.

At least they'll give it a new year warrrenty once I get it back. Thats the great thing about paying for the repair when the original warrenty expires.

Heck, and nobody connects the PS2/Xbox/PS1/X360 failure rates and the sales numbers ? Of course we don't have numbers, apart recent polls confirming a very high failure rate for the 360.

Cmon, I have a SNES, a GC, a N64, a Wii, a DS and a GBA, I bought only one of each of them, and never had any problem, I've travelled a lot with my hardware in my bag. But these are made of nintendium, non ninty platform can't compete.

LOL you can tell when the fanboys are out of their caves....I had an NES that works, but I still have to "blow" into the cartridge to get the games to work.  That said it still works just like my launch ps1 and my launch original xbox (both are very reliable and still in the closet as we speak).

lol at people talking about how reliable the old cartridge consoles were.
Who cares? They had no moving parts, and couldn't hold a tenth of what a cd could hold.
Time to move on.


That is NO excuse.

I don't think I am delusional. All I want is new technology that actually is reliable. Is that too much to ask for?

It's not an excuse, it's a tradeoff.

Performance for reliability.

It's possible that consoles could start using cartridges again. Well, really only Nintendo will, because Sony and MS require disc based media as part of their strategy. But, non-disc based media costs a lot more.


Nah, thats BS. Performance will be better and better as time goes by. Does this mean the next gen will only have products that work for 4 months before they break? I don't think so.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I mean, do I have to keep every freaking "proof of purchase" for every piece of hardware, because I know it will break sooner or later?

...

Yeah dude thats what you do, electronics are usually shit fragile. Just keep it all receipts in a box at least.
