2. Comment - Microsoft Sued for Xbox 360 Problems

   I don't think suing MS is the right way to go about it. I do believe the US Supreme Court should put limitations on what Microsoft can do. Currently they are entering so many different areas of technology and yet constantly releasing those technologies still with errors/problems to be rectified. Ok it’s an Xbox, but it’s not cheap to buy which means it shouldn't be released unless its ready to go 100% tested. In this case it was not tested well enough. I think to offer the customer a full refund+10% (The 10% is to cover time/transport costs) is an acceptable deal.

   I didn't say that! Problems do exist on other consoles, I've had MINOR issues with the GameCube. Of course they wouldn't happen very often and are usually restricted to certain games. In any case it has never, and I mean never overheated. As for Sony's consoles, I have no knowledge of them as I have never owned one.
   That person you mentioned at EB returning his PSX, he must be doing something wrong.
   I have to admit that the Dreamcast issue is a serious problem and can be blamed on the developer for that game, in some case if the data is not arranged correctly on the CD, the unit will have issues reading it.
   If you've done your research well, which obviously you have not, there are reasons for the NES/SNES cartridge issues. It also occurs with all cartridge based-devices that are constantly used. Contacts on a cartridge can wear away and deteriorate since they are only gold plated. Other causes include removing the cartridge incorrectly and leaving the unit/cartridge in a location where dust can cause serious problems.
   Perhaps you should think more than using your memory.

   I knew something would eventually happen. Microsoft is very irresponsible, and always will be, however pessimistic that may sound. They have made large amounts of money off their software range and yet delve into other markets without concentrating further on what they do have to offer and improve on that. The Xbox is another pitfall, and no analyst is going to tell me/gaming community that it’s ok to have a 3% screw-up in the manufacturing process that creates duds. If Microsoft wishes to act that way, then just P*** off from the console market, YOU SIMPLY DON'T BELONG THERE. The reason the console market is so successful with gaming, because problems don't exist (if they do they're minimal in such sense they don't interfere constantly) in this case having the main unit overheat or cause problems over online gaming is something we want to keep to PCs which are much easier to fix.
