Rogue15 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 well, at least it wasnt over tickle-me-elmo xtreme. but still, what happened to that brotherly love we all shared the few weeks after 9/11... ......****ing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 There are so many more important things in life than a game console, and one that will drop probably $50-$100 after Christmas anyway.... Not likely. Sony is losing $300 per 60 Gig and 200 for $200 Gig PS3s. Any price drop is years away. Oh you can thank Sony for Xbox360 not getting a price drop. If the PS3 wasn't so much Microsoft would've had to drop their price since Halo 3 isn't ready. BTW Did you hear new PS3 owners are getting the red light of death the same way XBox 360 owners were a year ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Skywalker Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 WTF Hannibal? Red light of death? Explain please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm thinking he means the problems with the console. The 360 has had several Internet crashes on the system when it first came out. Microsoft claimed that they were isolated incidents but I don't think so. My brother and I waited a year to a year and a half before we got our brand new XBox. The reason being was that there was a huge recall because the units were overheating because the fan to cool the unit wasn't working properly. As to the incident, stupidity. At the Wal-Mart in Fontana, they only had 20 units and there was a line in the hundreds waiting in line for a unit. The manager didn't go out and tell them that he only had 20. Underproduction, not the way to go if the goal of economics is to maximize profits. A $600 toy that has nothing new except better functions for online gaming. What has this world come to?

CSI Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'll get you CSI.... Anyway back on topic.... do you remember what happened when the Xbox 360's came out? It was worse.... I don't remember the Cabbage Patch Kids phenomenon.... cause I was either a little baby or not even born yet... but if it was as bad as the PS3 thing then OMFG! But do ya'll know that there were more than just that guy shot.... there were at least 2 in Arkansas that died, well at least that's what my parents told me. Anytime. Bring it on, baby! Back on topic..No, I don't remember that. But I believe X-Box 360 and PS3 has no big difference. Still, I'd stick on my PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 those that did not get the console, got rainchecks for one. but holy damnation, 100 people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 WTF Hannibal? Red light of death? Explain please... JediMaster12 explained it pretty good. It looks like being one of the first to get a new console comes with its risks. I just got my 360 last week. Funny thing was it was the last one I guess people are buying them until they can get their PS3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 What's the big deal? How do you think I got my X-Box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 At least my brother and I waited a year before getting ours and we had never had a video game before. Funny thing is we share it but I paid for more than half of the unit so its 51% mine and 49% his but he gets to keep it in storage. We were thinking of a 360 unit but we like our unit and we don't have a DSL connection anyway for online gaming. We have dialup so it's no biggie.

JediMaster12 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 That may be true padawan but not everyone is as fortunate as you or I to see that a $600 toy is not worth it. SHows you how content with your lot you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
