Nothing new, we always knew Mazda and Microsoft had so much in common.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

except microsoft makes a **** load of money and bill gates is a rich ****.

Bwahahahahaha. It's just another crappy toy. Suckerz!

Didnt one of the playstations have that issue back in the day?

told you to sell them off before you can't and just wait till Xmas when the shelves are stocked with the updated versions.

you need to seriously shut the **** up. explain how there would be an updated version. it's a ******* computer in that ******* piece of plastic. microsoft did a "shortage" of the system to drive demand. you think they would only send 10-250 systems to certain retail stores on launch day, and a month before christmas? they pumped out a million+ of those systems. stop being a ******* moron and think about what you type.



a computer is like a ******* car, it will EVENTUALLY break down.

no this cant be true, tell me its not true....my computer ca

sorry my computer just stoped working had to restart it. what was i saying?

i don't know....i meant to say that computers are like cars, you get a few lemons. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png he just has no idea what he is talking about. he speaks just to hear himself.





go play some guitar hero!

so according to you rowtah- the new Xbox will ALWAYS overheat and they will never correct it?



maybe its you who needs to think before he types

yep

I know someone on the xbox team, he's been playing the thing for the last 6 months, my guess is it isn't a design issue, but something more like a bad batch of fans, etc, etc.....



There's updates to anything with an OS like the xbox, however it's pretty unlikely that the ones on the shelves now will be any different then the ones on the shelves in 10 days, any of them being sold for xmas are already stored in warehouses all over the US.

the point trying to be made is that a certain someone should have sold his xbox for double or triple what he payed, and then after Christmas when demand is down buy one thats probably updated as well.

it's beyond me why people pay 3 or 4 times the MSRP for these systems when they come out, it sux that sony and M$ ship a handful of units to retailers just to stir up a frenzy and make the local news.

i think microsoft is legitimate in their shortage:



the DID do a worldwide release in the span of a week



that means euope and japan had to see xbox 360's as well; japan is a crucial market.

It really depends on what you consider "legitimate". I mean, the release date has been set for months and to say that it was "impossible" to meet demand is kind of rediculous, supply and demand is a pretty unarguable ingredient in economics and if there's one damn thing that Unlce Bill knows it's economics. If no one camped out overnight and if there werent any fights of units selling on ebay for $1500 there wouldn't be much reason to put it on the news.

which they fux0rd already

phins, i can see where youre coming from, but keep in mind that the system was still being tweaked up until like september, is a month and some change enough time to supply the whole world with a game console?



you can bet the same thing will happen with ps3

i did not know that they shipped to japan and europe also. the market is not as strong in japan for xbox. sony and nintendo are king over there, and europe is sony land.

the market wasnt strong in japan forthe first xbox, which is why they are trying to capture them now

exactly what i meant, xbox itself was not strong in japan. or asia also. they will have to work very hard to do it. now that i look at it, the 360 launch titles don't look too appealing aside from PGR3, Perfect Dark, and Quake 4. madden 06 sucks ass, they did not even bring over franchise and superstar modes.

xbox flopped in most foreign markets, let's face it with the xbox division losing 1 billion a year, xbox itself is a flop, not saying it sucks, i am pretty happy with the one i have, but it doesn't make it a profitable venture.

I enjoyed mine, the software companies that are making games for it are making a profit. Bungie, EA, Rare, etc. Especially EA and Bungie.



Got rid of mine, never played it, and I could not find my Doom 3 game.

Says who?



Mark

I have an Xbox, only games I have for it are Halo, Halo 2, Ninja Gaiden, and a few multi-platform releases (but then only when the controls are best for it, since graphics only do so much for me.) So that means I also have Soul Calibur 2, Prince of Persia, Tony Hawk's Underground.

ha HA

After all that aruging you sold yours too? And i'm sure it wasn't at a double profit. Hm.

****, i wish. i lost about 100 bucks, but it gave me something to pass the time with instead of scratching my anus....with your teeth!!! oh snap!!(sorry, best i could come up with, i know LAME!) https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
