That's the one reason I will never own an Xbox 360, the waveform collapses every time you have the gall to play games on it. At least Wiis are reliable, and PS3s are nigh-unbreakable, over-engineered black bricks. The 360 was rushed, and it suffers from a terminal case of the gremlins because of it. For example, the mounting for the disc drive is made of PLASTIC, for chrissakes. While we're on the subject of broken consoles, my PS2 has died. Turns out slimline PS2s don't have the heat dissipation capabilities of their larger cousins, and so it must have overheated and fried the laser. And seeing how the bloody thing has the hardware of an old PS2 stuffed into a box less than a quarter of the size... Q_Q Edited by Bloody Pom, Sep 14 2008, 09:57 PM.

Really? The only PS2s I've owned were slims, a black one (which was stolen last year), and the silver one I bought to replace it. Never had an issue with the heat. Maybe it has to do with the location? The things need to breathe a bit, and I always have my consoles pretty much away from everything to help that. Though, the fact that my dad keeps the AC turned down a bit might have something to do with it... |

I'm infuriated. Not only have I had the suckiest most depressing summer known to man, now my fall's gone down the drain. As some of you know, I'm taking classes at a local college so I can graduate high school. However, now there's going to be a strike. See our college pays pretty low, so the union decided to step in, now they're fighting for craptastic stuff that will end up making people pay more for crappy insurance and take home several thousand less a year then they already are. The pay rate is already below poverty for most of the staff. So, the idea is, if there's a strike, they're shutting the school down. For the rest of the semester! I know it may sound like I'm throwing a tantrum, but my parents put out a heck of a lot of money for me to get this opportunity, and they're screwing it up because the school refuses to stop putting extreme amounts of money into the facilities, and start paying the staff. I pad for my credits, and I've worked my butt off for them, I expect to get what I paid for. It's ridiculous when a school doesn't seem to get that better facilities do nothing when there's no one to use them. Edited by RipTheJacker, Sep 16 2008, 01:40 PM.

Ok, so thankfully I was misinformed. They'll only be closing for a few days if the school gets shut down. That makes things a lot less stressful. |

Whew, that's good news, Rip. You had me worried for you for a while there. I'm glad they can't screw everything up for you. Hell, I'd sue if they did that. |

You know... I've heard all kinds of complaints about all the problems with the 360, but I've never experienced them for myself. I bought mine summer of '06 and it's worked like a dream since then. Never had any problems with it freezing up or anything like that. I've had problems with individual discs, but never the console itself. Hell, I even got the Red Ring of Death once! You know what I did? I unplugged the console, plugged it back in, and it worked perfectly after that. Maybe I just got lucky and got an invincible console. |

When I first started reading that, the bottom part of your post was cut off at the bottom of my browser. I hadn't scrolled up yet. 'Oh, snap,' I thought. 'She finally did lose it. The X are taking over.' Then, I scrolled down, and thought, 'alright. Almost as bad.' |

Heehe,yeah. I've heard of plenty of people with robust xbox 360s,it just seems like we aren't one of them. The one we just got froze on the first use,and has continued to everytime we use an xbox360 game since. It also came with no darn wireless assignment button! that means only one mic and two controlers! I just hope we can get it returned before Far cry 2 and Fable,cause I'm gonna sue em for more money than A decade's worth of xboxes is worth if they don't. Ok,I'm done ranting,I feel better now,I know this was sort of a repeat of my last rant but I had to dispose of excess frustration. Oh,and Jefe,may your xbox continue to serve you wonderfully until it has lived many decades.
