[citation][nom]jacekring[/nom]Sigh...I can't believe so many people pay $300 for a 7 year old gaming console....[/citation]

Sigh... I can't believe people pay $300+ for a (non-pro) graphics card alone to play games...

..Let the red thumbs down roll!!

What about ps3s?!

 

[moonsite]

I bought one, another one, because it was a great deal and for the Kinect games. Can't get the same Kinect experience with the PC games.

[citation][nom]Nakal[/nom]That many RRODs happened at the same time?[/citation]

mine RROS when gears of war 3 was released at midnight 🙁

But now I fixed it.

I didn't see any cool offers at best buy and futureshop here in canada, they were being gay. No notable discounts 🙁

[citation][nom]tsnorquist[/nom]My good friend has been trying to convince me to buy an XBox 360 for a few years now. This after sending 3 back for repair due to a Red Ring of Death. I just can't seem to get the point across to him that my 20+ year old Atari still works fine and is a party hit.[/citation]

The RROD issue has not been an "issue" for years. I personally know no less then 25 people that have bought machines in the last 3 years that have never had a single issue. I personally have 3 at my house (one for me, one for the son and one for others) all of which log many hours of use every day and not a single issue on any of them and even the youngest xBox is over 1 year old.

Your Atari has no where near the advancements nor sensitivity in it's electronics to even attempt to compare it in this way so get a clue.

Good for Microsoft, although I find that number almost impossible to believe. 1 000 000 consoles means 0,3% of the population purchased a Xbox that day. That's 1 out of 300 persons. You'd think that the people interested in the console (and can afford it, and don,t already have one, or a ps3, or whatever other reason) wouldn't have waited 7 years to buy one. It's not like the price fell below 99$.

[citation][nom]internetlad[/nom]I'll never understand how people prefer those little sticks and like 6 buttons to a full keyboard and mouse experience, especially if your mouse has extra buttons. So much more control.[/citation]

Get a XIM3 and enjoy the best of both worlds.

Ah, the good old "I know you are but what am I?" defense, a classic with the kids!

Does your stuffed animal have a name, or does be just keep you warm and safe while you sleep?

Just 200,000 short of the N64 all time 1 million unites in 24 hours record. Better luck next time.

Don't be sad... The boxing day is coming...😉

For a player base that claims so much maturity over the console crowd, we sure aren't selling ourselves very well.

 

[nebun]

why buy an obsolete console when the new one is just about to come out?

 

[Guest]

Just reinvest the money in pc games development for the Windows 8&9 platforms, and we're square. I won't hold it against you that people go nuts for some xbox.

Sad indeed to all those people that bought one little did they know that MS is giving them less then 3 years now to enjoy it before it gets pulled from MS support. This close to a new console release i wouldn't have bought one not when the next gen console is roughly a year away.

"BF3 is a great example. They saw the money in consoles, and released an unfinished, rush, and watered-down game that could have been massive and amazing."

Completely agree. Unable to logon to BF3 since the last update. The rubberbanding is annoying beyond reason coupled with all the other problems. It's all about the mighty God Doll Ar.

All wasted money.

Wait it out for the Xbox720 and quit re-buying their nearly a decade old platform.

Moooooo, goes the cash cow.

I'm sure they are balled up in a fetal position crying about that. (btw that N64 record was set while that console was still selling at a loss during it's R&D recoup phase....so.... f'n OUCH!)

Why can't people see that this is bad for all gamers. Stop buying into antiquated hardware.

This isn't a PC vs Console argument. If you seriously consider yourself a gamer you will understand that we consumers need to force the industry to innovate, create new more powerful hardware for better graphics and more involved games. Buying a 7 year old console IS NOT THE WAY TO DO THAT.

Demand something new!
