A valiant attempt to get Xbox 360 failure rate answers

Jun 17th 2007 3:29AM (Joystiq)
Honestly if you cant understand what lntk is stating then something is wrong with you.Dwells not saying I dont believe you as it doesnt really matter if I do or dont, but the truth is this.You could have 5 friends with 360s.Point is I am not calling you a liar, but I dont know you and most on here dont know you.Now honestly how many sony fans are there on this site?Do you guys really believe that no sony fan has lied about and posted bogus statements about how many 360's they have had break down?HONESTLY I feel there is a problem, but I dont think its as bad as people say.I have many friends with them and not 1 has broken down, not 1!!But I could argue and state hey they arent breaking down everyone is lying and from my experience for which I can account I would be totally correct.So cut the guy some slack, you know there are rabid nintendo fanboys and diehard sony fanboys as well.


And honestly I see why the world is in the shape that its in now.People on here really expect m$ to state how many defective units they have dealt with.Dont be dumb people.They arent gonna tell ya. and you still wouldnt find out if there was a class action lawsuit.

Its a good system, mine hasnt failed, if you are scared to buy one the world doesnt have to know keep it to yourself.Or buy a wii, that will get played for a month or 2 because of lack of good games or buy a ps3 and let it collect dust, as there are no good games either.

Halo 2 and Halo 3 comparison video

Well honestly guys the game will look good and it will sound good.I haventseen a game that looks better than gears(I mean thats released).Gears looks better than any game before it period.ANY PS3 GAME ETC.IT LOOKS BETTER THAN UT2007 AS OF NOW AND, IT LOOKS BETTER THAN EVERY PS3 GAME!

As far as the comment about religion, well lets just say that with the diverse life on this planet it takes less of a brain to believe that we came from slime on rocks imo.Or that we came from monkeys.thats why life today isnt valued at all.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS! Just because people have amped out throughout history using religion as grounds to kill many for their own purposes(MONEY etc)doesnt mean that religion isnt true or that its for the weak.When peoplespeak of the crusades etc.Remember that it was all about money!That was the driving force!We are in Iraq today for cntrol and money!Or resources etc.Bush states that hes a Christian, but that doesnt mean that he is.I am sure some of your parents stated that santa was real, but that doesnt mean that its true!

Truth of the matter is this.To know that God doesnt exist one would have to have the knowledge to know that God doesnt exist to prove it.But no human can rival the intelligence of God.What is electricity?

How big is the universe, and dont state infinite as it does have a size, everything has a size, we just cant see nor compehend it.Funny thing is that all of the so called intelligent people neglect all the truth of the scriptures, such as all the prophecies that have came to past, like alexander, the destroying of the temple in jerusalem, and Yeshua stating that not even a single stone would be left of that temple standing upon another.And when you see the temple mount today you dont see any stones remaining from that temple.And theres plenty more.Remember this mankind is extremely evil on its own.We lie steal an plunder regularl.Africa has been laid to waste and blood shed is continuing by nations that state they are behind world peace, yet the sell guns to the militia in certain parts of africa, and it has nothing to do with religion.Slave in the hundreds of millions were brought to the americas only to be mistreated and killed brutally by so called professing christians that obviously have never read thy shalt not commit murder, or adultery etc.And these are the founding fathers that are revered until this day!And yes they commited adultery.But they were corrupt as well.Live and learn before you make dogmatic statements like there is no God.Especially when you dont know enough about history. or whats considered pagan!Christianity is not what the catholics teach.The term christian was used before the catholic church came to be according to the bible.That term christian was coined in antioch.

The bread and wine are not the literal body of christ as taught by the catholics.I would think common sense would tell anyone that.Its funny how a bunch of 17 year olds have the meaning to life without stepping a foot outside of their parents doorsteps.

Over 14-years-old? Microsoft exec. says trade in your Wii

Mar 29th 2007 2:29AM (Joystiq)
Listen I think everyone knows the damn guy isnt saying that only people under 14 have wiis.Seriously nintendo fans are pretty crazy sometimes.Its a kiddie console, now ask yourself is anything wrong with that?No, but basically thats what its aimed at.Thats a fact.Parents are like kids in that parents dont get boggled down with every new release, so they are casual gamers.Most kids dont own every new game that ships, but most teenagers get everything they can get their hands on.


Listen nintendo makes a system thats very affordable, but isnt much different from their last gen console.Its for the casual and thats where the kiddie comes from.If I am at work, and myself and a couple of other employees start playing with yugio cards(Probably misspelled) or pokemon cards then everyone will be like what the hell are they playing?Now that doesnt mean that you have to be under 14 to play with yugio cards, but if you are over that age limit you are looked at differently.And this is all the guy is saying.Seriously you guys love these companies so much its pathetic.

Hell even in corporate america if you are in a meeting and are waiting I wouldnt advise pulling out a ds.Because alot of adults view that as foolishness.


And honestly all the people that keep hollering that xbox live has nothing but 14 year olds on it are sadly mistaken.Do you guys read the comments you spout at each other?You guys call each other everything under the sun, so its you guys that are the ignorant 14 year olds.

Example.A guys states "I dont like the wii, it has no good games" Fanboys come out of the bushes calling people all kinds of names etc.So whos the ignorant 14 year old that plagues live I ask again?Its you guys that are saying your 20+ but curse each other out on this very forum, so I can only imagine what you are speaking.Hey its easier to speak than type right?


Honestly you guys claim to be so mature, and then come right back around and disses someones mother, or that individual.All behind the safety of the internet.

If someone says that the wii sucks and you get upset you need to reevaluate your priorities and your life fairly quickly.


If you are just itching to respond then you are the 14 year old that raises so much hell!!!!!!!!

Sorry, the Wii isn't crap

Mar 11th 2007 1:42AM (Joystiq)
Ok the funny thing is this.If someone says that the 360 is a system that dies alot the fanboys come outta the wood work.If someone says that the ps3 is a trojan horse that isnt more powerful than sony then the sony fanboys come out the wood work.While the wii boys and 360 fanboys laugh and point.



Now when the wii is called a piece of shit which I agree with, the nintendo fanboys come out to play.Dont be lieve me?Look at the post count.Just because he used his opinion and called the wii what he felt it was.Listen everyone knows that if you wanna play fps's on consoles then you need a 360.Jrpgs; ps3, and kiddie games get a wii.Of course you will have a couple more mature games.But the point is that if I only had zelda and a bunch of brightly colored kiddie games for my 360, I wouldnt have it for long.I dont like these types of games.But I really dont like being beat.I mean the wii is 250!Nintendo is making a profit off of it as we speak!Think about it do we really want a world that is ruled by a nintendo console?


Now before I hear the breathing of rabid fanboys that feel its cool to dis others without the same beliefs, just calm down and say you know what everyone doesnt think like me.We are all different etc.


The guy that stated that he didnt like the wii, and was grilled by myke was correct!Why?Because he would be the one paying for the wii.So he would use his opinion!I believe that its a piece of shit, but only because it doesnt offer anything new.Seriously the controls are nice and thats it.If you look at it realistically you will see games that control differently but dont offer much more.Can nintendo change?Yes they can, but to me they are the company that is terrible with releasing games.You guys just got twilight princess!I have a ps3 and a 360.Some say the ps3 is too high, and guess what that may be true for you, but for what I like and what it offers its worth it to me.(home theatre, games)


So I dont understand why everyone gets mad when people called the cube a kiddie console, and the wii looks the same as well., Yet everyone is perfectly happy calling viva pinata a kids game.You see your opinions are your opinions.Just respect the nexts mans even if they dont make any sense to you.Now everyone should be corrected with facts, and facts only, but you cant correct an opinion.



The wii is a piece of shit, and no matter what anyone says, I will not buy it till I deem it worthy.How hard is that to understand?It comes from people being so insecure that they feel everyone must like what they like, but they dont understand thats the reason we have 3 systems!For a system that suits our needs or tastes or multiple systems if you want them.If you dont play the wii that doesnt make you an untrue gamer.I have friends that dont like my 360, yet they are gamers.


You guys sound like the voters of the presidential elections every 4 years.None of the presidents offer everything you like, so I dont vote!Does that make me evil?No!Its about personal preferences, I think they are all crooks, and guess what no matter how many things they do in the community, they will always be crooks until I feel other wise, but thats for me.


Seriously I hear everyone on this blog saying that others need to grow up, when they respond by saying someone is stupid or a fool, or insert witty remark, because they dont like their system or systems of choice.


I truly believe that if most gamers could afford all systems and games then there really wouldnt be a fanboy war, but since most cant theres hate.


Its like being in a store and seeing someone buy 16 blu ray movies and you are like damn they could have gotten all of them on dvd and saved a bundle!But the truth is that they didnt want dvd, they wanted blu ray or hd dvd.Just because you cant afford something doesnt make it crazy.(referring to the ps3 price now)


So what will happen?Will some ignorant individual laugh and call me names, because the wii sucks imo, or will everyone say "you know what everyone doesnt really have to like what I like"?


Seriously If I am an idiot because I hate something based on my opinion, then that means that everyone is idiotic for doing the samething.


Be a fanboy, but dont go to war with other gamerts because you dont like what they like or believe what they believe.

That only makes you look like George Bush.:)

hasnt even been a year and this game is getting pulled.360 for the win.

Nvidia: saying graphics don't matter is 'nonsense'

Feb 3rd 2007 6:28AM (Joystiq)
Once again if the wii was sold for say 259 dollars, but you got a blu ray player, 5.1 surround and 360 graphics then you would love that its a great deal and it would make the wii better, and this post probably would have had the lowest post count or never existed.If you cant afford it thats a shitty way to say it doesnt matter.I mean honestly i cant understand how people are flocking and gushing over the wii when theres nothing new about it.Theres noting new about the control scheme that hasnt been done before.What games have revolutionized the industry again for the wii?

In short all the systems are like this this gen none offer anything new they just offer better ways of doing proven things wether they are graphics or online play.Theres a reason the wii isnt called the revolution, because it isnt a revolution.

Fanboys or rather blind fanboys mees up everything.

To prve thisd point its okay to be a fanboy, you're just being a fan of something, but blind fanboys bandon all reasoning.So you get to swing a remote big deal!!!Thats not gonna change the industry.The industry wont just start making simple party games with no halo, jax and daxter, ninja gaiden, metroids etc.Eventually the same causal gamers will want better experiences or tougher more complicated games so it really doesnt matter I just wanna know why we are paying 250$?Honestly the wii is almost like the cool thing to say amongst gamers today because of nintendo, but the tried and true methods of gaming will wipre the floor with the wii.I grew up on nintendo, and that seal of quality means something to me, but 250 for a gamecube.And nintendo fans actually state that there are no good games on the 360, but if the wii didnt have the wii mote and was like m$ and sonys systems would you guys still be saying these lame comments?

what if the 360 was the wii?would nintendo fanboys be deeming it unworthy?If we all got the systems free then I would bet that everyone would just play games.Wouldnt be that graphics dont matter etc.They dont matter if thats what you can afford.(for most not all)I mean people still downplay hdtvs, and even hd dvd and blu ray, but these things are the future.These are enhancments people.

I know IMO THAT WII SPORTS, HALO3, OR HEAVENLY SWORD WOULD NOT GET PLAYED BY ME ON A BLACK AND WHIOTE TELEVISION.

Nvidia: saying graphics don't matter is 'nonsense'

Feb 3rd 2007 3:58AM (Joystiq)
Listen If graphics dont matter then really why all the support from nintendo?

I mean seriously I know there are a lot of nintendo fans around the world, but what would have happened if the resident evil remake on gamecube had the same graphics as the ps1 version?Does not everyone remember the hype about how good resident evil looked?I do, even in cases today when the last gen systems are compared resident evil is brought up by countless nintendo fans to prove that the cube could hold its own against the xbox.

But now graphics dont matter I guess.

Seriously most mario games are fun, but if every mario game from now till kingdom comes looks like mario galaxy, that will be a problem, and don't tell me that it wouldnt.A more extreme example is this.If mario galaxy had good 2d gameplay, but looked like mario on the nes(original mario bros.) Then every sony fan, m$ fan and everyone else should grill everyone that supports this practice that graphics arent important.Its not 45%-40% with 40% being graphics, thats bullshit.


Graphics are equally important.Katamari is a good game, but 20 years from now more than likely it wont be played anyway as it cant even sell today!

Its all about preference guys, thats it.I have never lived in a mansion, I have never driven a ferrari, so it would be crazy fro me to say that getting b etter performance out of something doesnt matter. All of this we have reached a point where graphics dont matter is bull!

Tell that to the countless pc fans that upgrade their pcs yearly.Or tell that to the millions of console fans that adopt new systems every generation.Now as of right now theres nothing on the wii that cant be done on the gamecube, so why does it cost 250$ again?I believe that now I will hear the potential argument that the same people drill sony fans for.As of now the wii does nothing that the cube isnt cabpable of.They gould have sold you a wiimote for 80$ if they liked, but why did you buy the wii?


Now since graphics dont matter and everyone that parrots this really believes this, then why is it that I have a gamecube, sega cd, ps1, saturn, n64, sega genesis, xbox, original nes etc., but I dont play them anymore?I now play my 360, and watch blu ray movies on my ps3.The simple point of you guys buying a wii proves that you really feel that graphics do matter.Nintendo has always brought new things to the console scene.But what will the nintendo fans have to say when the other next gen systems start supporting wii mot like functions?Do you really think that it wont happen?


Do you really think that sony and m$ arent at this time looking to implement these factors into the next gen system?I mean m$ was doing this years ago and could easily do it agaim.So that same call of duty will now support a wiimote like remote, but the game will have hd graphics.Will you still say that graphics dont matter?


I really dont like nintendo for the wii.I think that its a step back.Yeah you can flame all you want, but I have better things to do than argue and call another individual names that I know I wouldnt dare say to their face.The internet makes a ton of people brave.But nintendo is basically saying this.I will sell you something new that barely is marginally better than what I sold you last time(gamecube) But I will charge you an additional 150$!!!!Now I know that people will say yeah, but I like it!But shouldnt those same sony fans get to say the same thing.

What will happen when nintendo releases a stellar hit, and everyone else starts copying the control scheme?You will have a bunch of games that copy the original, but dont live up to it.In short mediocrity.


The same way gta had many clones that were not better, and some were disgraceful.The deal that nintendo has sold everyone on is that games have gotten more complex and need to go back to their roots.Thats an easy diagnosis when you buy a nintendo product they are already making a profit.Truth is if you bought a wii and no more games nintendo would still win.Nothings wrong with that strategy, but the problems is not games being to complex....Its compelling content.Its the devs! always have been.A car is just a car until a experienced driver gets behind the will.(think nascar driver)

Buy the hype if you want to.There will be many dark days ahead for the wii.Devs get to make the same games as last gen with different controls.Devs arent bored with how gaming is progressing.Devs are making more money deving for the wii!You will get the same games that you would have gotten last gen with just a new control scheme.You will still get mario, zelda, pikmin, metroid, etc.But whats different?If its about simplicity then the biggest titles from nintendo dont even cater to the casual gamers.Casual gamers cant play zelda well.The people that like zelda are the ones that remember link to the past, and ocarina of time.Mario sunshine wasnt exactly an easy game, neither was metroid.Do you think your mom will invite her friend over for a game of metroid?Its the same stuff just repackaged.I dont hate nintendo.You still had these same party games last gen that you are seeing now!The wii has offered a differnt control scheme for $250 dollars.Thats it.Nintendo is simply taking the simple games from the ds and tranferring them to the wii.Simplicity is always a good thing, I just dont think the price is justified.


Get a hdtv and a 360, and you will see the difference.You will be Scott Mitchell, or Logan.You will appreciate these graphical enhancements.And it will only be more relavent after more hdtvs are sold.

If you like a wii then yes get it.But dont argue futile points people.I would have bought a wii already had the graphics been better.Of course gameplay is importatnt, but without graphics you couldnt even see anything on the screen!

There were days when I looked at nes games and thought, man this game looks good.With all the legions of halo fans around the world I can tell you that most wouldnt buy halo 3 if it looked like the original doom, or if it looked like enforcers for the genesis.


Once again I dont hate nintendo as there is something wrong with every system.But to swallow what nintendo tells you while hating everyone that swallows what sony, or m$ tells them makes you a hypocrite.


What was funny is that most were like of course a guy that works for a company that makes graphics cards will say that graphics matter!Would he say anything else?Yet they fail to ask the same question with nintendo.Would you really expect nintendo to say that graphics are important and the better the graphics the better the system can perform!Dont expect nintendo to say that anytime soon.Dont expect m$ to say that yeah blu ray is awesome either!Dont expect sony to say well yeah most hd dvd movies look better than their blu ray counterpart.Dont be naive people.These companies will not point out their flaws to us.Tell me you wouldnt have need happy with a wii with 360 graphics, blu ray or hd dvd playback capability, and at least 5.1 surround.For say another 1$!Yes a dollar!But the point is this the current wii would still be selling as graphics dont matter to most wii owners and all they want is a gaming system.

Unbelieveable!Only with fanboys can wii lack these positive features and still not really matter.

Westinghouse and the blinking PS3: HDCP gone awry?

Jan 25th 2007 6:41PM (Joystiq)
Well actually a lot of hdtvs do this.I was puzzled by it when I first tried it as I have a 52"RCA, hdtv when I play in 1080i over dvi- hdmi it does the samething.(ps3)

Now i believe that its problem with the playsttion 3 because my hd cable box is often hooked up by monster component, but when I use a dvi cable I dont get a problem what so ever.

And to the genius that keeps talking about cheap hdmi cables and what not, it doesnt matter what you pay for the cable as its only 1's and 0's coming through(digital) better cables and such is true with analog and component, but hdmi is hdmi.Just ordered a hdmi to dvi cable from monoprice.com for 7.85 cents with shipping and handling and its no different than monsters dvi cable.Except in price.Be a sucker if you will.

This is a problem with the ps3 as i SAW IT DO THE SAME THING ON MY FRIENDS HDTV WHEN i BOUGHT MY PS3.

Its nothing to cry about as it doesnt last long, but hey I guess its news.I just sit through it as its only like 3 seconds.But I will admit that the first time I saw it I was like what the hell?

PS3 Virtua Fighter 5 is gold

Jan 24th 2007 3:08AM (Joystiq)
wELL SHEPPY YOU DO KNOW THAT IF VIRTUA FIGHTERS ONLINE ASPECT WASNT YOUR CUP OF TEA, THAT YOU COULD ACTUALLY JUST STICK TO SINGLE PLAYER RIGHT?Or you could just play with your friends.

I mean if you dont feel fighters should be online then okay fine, but to knock a feature just because you wont use it is very childish.

In a sinilar case, should there not be anymore final fantasy mmorpgs because you think that they suck in a particular case?

Or what about that song on guitar hero that isnt hard to you, but you just dont like it.Sould it have been excluded?

Of course not!You dont have to play virtua fighter online, and I will be the first to tell ya that I like extra stuff with my games.Think about it.Halo3 releases and we know all about it, but they release a gun that has to be earned by playing online for say a 1,000 hours.Does that hurt?


Seriously the ps3 would greatly benefit from a online fighting game as tekken and soul calibur dont look to be doing that anytime soon.But if tekken was online would that kill the game?Of course not!

Weekend heartwarmer: "Claim your DS!"

Jan 22nd 2007 1:14PM (Joystiq)
Try that in the united states and you will see that the outcome will be different.

I understand that honesty is the best policy as I would return it as well.I need to visit japan seems to be my kind of place.Canada as well.Remember the michael moore documentary bowling for columbine?How the canadians sleep with their doors unlocked?Try that here in the states or better yet announce that your door is unlocked and watch what happens around 2 am.

Honest people are in every culture but the japanese are mostly known for honor.I mean even if it isnt correct we see the movies and everything about samurais etc. and its all about honesty.

Drop a wallet here in the states and its all clean in 10 minutes tops.Cards maxed out cash gone etc.

I bet when most americans read this they thought about their wallets and made sure they were on their dressers at home in the car or in their pockets.hahahaha
