this is so fucking dumb, they shoudl give us this, they should give us that . . . if you ever read your buyer's agreements you would know that they in fact do not have to give us anything, if you don't like Live don't pay for it, go some where else and quit bitching. Jesus christ it would never be good enough for most of you assholes. If they gave you 800 points you would have said thanks micro$oft you assholes I should get 900 at least. Fucking quit crying about it, if your life is so empty that a minor inconvenience of your video game time gets you this riled up maybe you should design a system your self that never fails ever.

is it cool to post on Video game sites is the real question you should be asking, I for one say no, but god dammit is it fun.

Well I guess I am lucky because both times I have done it I have gotten it back inside of 3 weeks, and again if you have nothing else to keep you occupied then that is your fault, for me I have my cute little Wii that gets use as well. And for those fortunate enough just go rent one from Target or Best Buy, they have return policies

Knight, it is the number most of the sony guys use, so it must be true . .
Back on topic, I have had the red ring 2, once after keeping it on carpet(my fault) and the second after who knows what, but I will say my experience with Microsoft has been great. They got me the box right away and I was able to get my xbox back within a few weeks both times. for all those who complain about the time it takes, get over it, if your life is so unfulfilling that all you do is play video games then maybe it is a good thing it broke.
Overall, Microsoft owned up to the problem with a 3 year warranty and everyone still bitches about it. Personally I would rather by electronics with a faulty history and a long warranty than buy one with a short warranty that will break eventually anyway, (thanks for my ipod problems apple) but know one gives them credit for this, it is almost as if the internets is being unreasonible . . . . that couldn't be, could it?

so the PS3 is going to sell around 15 million consoles next year? that seems awfully high, That graph seems to tell me that by year end 08 the Ps3 will have sold about ~25 million, that seems high,
I think the real focus should be on microsoft. Can they stay ahead of the ps3 and what do they need to do to match console sales of the ps3 month in and month out. 08 could be a great year for the 360 we just don't know because Microsoft did not, for the most part, have its heavy hitters(save for GTA4) delay and get pushed back. Next year the ps3 may outsell the xbox, personally i think it could, but not by 10 million consoles

and as far as Michael Bay, I just have to say that Action Movies should be no more than 1hr and 56 minutes long thank you very much, God damn asshole making me sit through 30 extra minutes of martin saying woosaaa, half the time by the time his movies end I have already forgotten the beginning

As long as people live in rural areas and companies like comcast are allowed to limit DL/UL speeds there will be no digital download dominance. You guys seem to forget about those people who don't/can't have highspeed internet. As long as Billy Bob and his sisters live in the back(ward) hills of northern Georgia, physical media will be here to stay. Shit, people still buy vinyl,

Tony; if Gamefly shipped it yesterday it might make its way to you by next thursday. God Damn they are sooooooooo slow.
And I am wondering what is wrong with an 80. * out of 10 is pretty good, with all these games getting 100's and 95's it kind of leaves us no place to go. A solid game that is fun and has a great story should get an 85. A game that is groundbreakking should be higher than that. I mean, a B/B+ is a pretty good score.

what happened to whole album downloads, with the promises of who's next? can someone please tell me if I dreamt that or if it was actually said

hey, why has no one brought up the fact that I do not see WHO's Next anywhere, did I miss this somewhere, I thought that whole albums were going to be DLC
