MS has hands down the best idea to sell units. They get A++++ from me.
first off the units died, so people went office space on the first set of 360s since they fell outside of the 90 day warranty, after awhile MS saved some face by saying yes they have a problem but will fix any outside of warranty xbox although most people already office spaced their 360s making that a total loss. Die hard gamers ending up buying more xboxes to replace the broken ones, then the elite came out, people who were on their 3rd or 4th xbox bought one of those just to keep from having their 360 die when a kickass game like COD2 came out...... too bad that one also died, so now they fixed all their problems "again" and people will run out and buy it to be safe.
I'm on my 5th xbox and expect it to die any day now, I have to keep it propped up on stuff if not it sounds like its going to blast off, it keeps getting worse, my 6TH! xbox will be one of these new ones.
Thank GOD I always got lucky and had them break before warranty was up.
Only thing that really pisses me off is the total unit sold when you look at the #s for Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360. I was they listed what % of 360s were bought a 2nd 3rd or 4th time adding to the total numbers of sold units.
Anyways, its nice to see that they are adding wifi after 4?
I enjoy my 360 and would never get rid of it, however I do think its the biggest piece of shit and hate MS for it.
I've had my PS3 since 1 or 2 weeks out, and its been running with zero issues since.
