I don't know why pictures of chair-faces make me laugh, but they do.

Oh i see. I saw that picture and associated it with a lack of caring. You see, a chair with noone it it to listen means just that, a lack of audience who cares about this post. But no, it is of a smile. Thanks internet.

You should apologize for this thread.

:lol

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

am i the only one who doesnt enjoy paying 100 bucks for a wireless adapter?

No, but if you did a little research into wireless equipment you could find a solution that would solve the problem for all your consoles for less money. Then you wouldn't have to bitch about it because it wouldn't be your problem anymore.

But sure, first party accessory prices on controllers and such are anal rape across the board, regardless of console. MS is simply worse than the others because Wi-Fi isn't built in and everything's proprietary.

I wonder if they didn't build it in so they could do a wireless n version one day? Is it even possible I wonder.

well, i could do a little research but thats time im wasting when i could be on NeoGAF for all the megatons.

If we're going to start asking MS for apologies, can we start with Clippy, ME, and Vista?

 

[Crusade]

I agree with the sentiment. MS should have issued a formal apology long ago. But considering they've shown no initiative to correct the issues, and deny it at every point, there's not much chance of that

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I've heard all of this already from better looking posters.

 

[DeathWasHere]

nvm.

 

[Bildi]

My 360 wireless wheel just broke this afternoon.

Ready the pitchforks.

 

[supermackem]

Its like a ps3 fanboi mega bang on here this weekend. One month of ps3 selling more units in the usa and TOSHIBA killing there format has really brought out the sony fans that have been in hiding since launch.

 

[tjhooker]

There's no need for an apology.

The irreversible damage done to the Microsoft brand is enough to keep many from buying their hardware and overpriced (and in the case of the HD-DOA add-on, failing) accessories ever again.

 

[AndersTheSwede]

My wireless controller disconnects at the slightest bump.

So when I get angry at Halo it makes me even angrier. Which makes me mad.

Thanks MS. <3

Spoiler

didn't MS already apologize for RROD?

While reading you responses on this thread i cant help but imagen a four year old with a sony tshit going na na nann nahhh at some kid with a 360 tshirt on.

Never quote tjhooker's posts. 3/4 of GAFs ignore lists become useless.

I'll convince him.

 

[Borys]

All things considered, how many people here have purchases a second PS2? Better yet, how many people who purchase launch units by Sony or Microsoft believe they're going to actually last 5-6 years? To this day the only company I trust to get their hardware right and get it right early is Nintendo. I can understand the bitching about hardware problems but who didn't see it coming?

Xbox 1 was a fucking TANK and it had a HDD built-in.

 

[Psychotext]

What was that crap in the OP about MS being indecisive about HD DVD / Blu Ray? Neither format was released when the 360 was. :lol

 

[Haunted]

 

[pswii60]

I would hope that MS has better writing skills. And console memory has always been overpriced, eg £30 for 8mb PS2 memory card last gen. It's called a business model. Deal with it.

4) RROD, jesus fuck I can't believe this is STILL an issue. Falcon was supposed to fix this but you still hear of peoples falcons dieing.

You hear about PS3 and Wii consoles dieing too. Being a Falcon can't make it completely invincible, it's still an electronics device.

umm, falcons very rarely RROD, just check gafs thread, only 2 or so falcons have died, neither due to RROD

other than those foxlink power supplies...

 

[Kosma]

My 360 died. My Wii died. My PS3 died.

I have no trust left.

 

[Jewbacca]

Dear Microsoft,

Please stop shoving your products down my throat... I can't help but to buy them and then go on a forum and cry like a bitch. I mean why does the xbox have proprietary accessories like every other console for the past 30 years? Why does your wired controller play on PCs without the use of an adapter and the wireless one doesnt do the same. Oh fuck it I'll just buy some more stuff and complain at another forum. *Bends for and spreads cheeks*

Love,
Dbag Deluxe.

 

[Gattsu25]

I'm assuming you did that on purpose.

I do nothing on purpose.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

An apology would be an admission of guilt. Not gonna happen.

 

[TONX]

Yikes.

 

[Doc Evils]

sorri guyz.

 

[Arkaerial]

No it actually hasn't... But lots of people I know has had the red rings.

Don't worry, mine has Red Ringed enough to cover both of us.

 

[AtomicShroom]

Xbox 1 was a fucking TANK and it had a HDD built-in.

Yes, except for the Thomson DVD drives, which all went DRE.

 

[JB1981]

That's right.

Apologize.

:lol

 

[oneHeero]

I want to see something like this from Microsoft:

Dear customer,

Here at Redmond we heavily apologize for screwing you. At first we made a simple trick of fucking up 360 hardware just for lulz and we admit it got a bit out of hand. While Bill Gates did lulz quite a bit it wasn't fair to the customer. Second we made proprietary accessories such as the hard drive. While only a 20 GB HDD would normally cost less than 50 bucks we need your money for all the 360s we have to replace... srsly. Now, we did launch a 120 GB HDD but unfortunatley it becomes something of a pain to store all previous saves, games and downloadable content to it so we apologize. In this letter we have included a lolcat picture that involves a cat and a hard drive. We hope this will make it up. Next, we were indecisive little kids and we couldn't pick a format (DVD, HD-DVD Digital Distribution) so we went with all 3! And while only 1 of those formats were recently killed by the power of Blu-Ray *insert sony fanboy "i told you so"* and 1 will be replaced soon by Blu-Ray we have one format- digital distribution - which is excellent but a bit expensive (but hey we gotta find money to fix those 360s). We will be supporting Blu-Ray however we believe digital distribution is the way to go even tho we have a 256 MB limit on XBLA. Finally, god damn every peripheral is a bit over priced but hey at least it matches and its compatible with Windows Vista via yet ANOTHER add on accessory.

I did it for the lulz,

Billy G.

P.S. plz rmbr how much we love our xbox live gold users (we spent 50 mil on gta downloadable content)

No but seriously this is pathetic. Amirite?

I think you did this for the lulz, I lolz. It was funny to me.

I love your avatar. Gutter Phenomenon is perhaps the best album of all time. With that said.. on to the post..

you lost credibility and hillarity when i saw the word lulz

 

[inner-G]

I'm holding out for the slim SKU.

Believe

 

[Cynar]

My 3 dead PS1s say other wise. The PS1 and 360 both had horrible hardware for a while. It was not till almost 2 years in before there was PS1s that did not have laser alignment issues.

You should stop smoking around them and gunking up the laser. The psx didn't have nearly as much failures as the 360 does.

Ya, mine had to be replaced.

 

[Gattsu25]

Mine scratched 3 of my games beyond repair.

Worst disc drives I've ever used.

My Xbox1 lived thru a fire, HDD and all still operated perfectly. PS2 and GC died
