Well, there is much praise for a certain subscription-model where you don´t own anything either. There is always a market.

Didn't you see the note at the bottom? Leasing does not imply savings as you will still be expected to purchase each game for $60 then buy DLC afterwards.

 

[SneakyStephan]

I'm at a full dozen myself.

I have to ask... WHY?

Seriously, I don't understand.

I had an rrod as well a year after my warranty expired (barely ever played the thing yet somehow it broke anyways) and I would never consider replacing something with such a high known failure rate.

What possessed you to keep getting these things fixed or replaced? Were they in warranty every time or what?

 

[xxracerxx]

Yes, and I recognize this. A lot of people don't, apparently. Nobody should be upset about the conversation between him and his friend. Dumb place to have the conversation, but they were joking around.

Everything else that was no between him and his friend is fair game, I realize this.

No one here cares about the city comments. They care about the other comments that have to do with always online.

Getting through an Xbox every month for half a year. Crazy.

 

[PaulExcellent]

all i was doing was replying to someone.....and to the "who cares" thing, why would what i posted earlier have anything to do with the topic at hand? Pointless trolling reply.

Wait, is mine a trolling reply?
I'm actually lost here.

 

[grimshawish]

Mentioned this in passing to my mum who instantly said to stay away and this was just to collect information on me. Can't wait for the mandatory 'player identification' through Kinect lol

I love Netflix. I wouldn't be dumb enough to subscribe to it if I also had to purchase everything I watched on it though.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Dat OP...Jesus christ

 

[Yagharek]

Who cares?

If you're going to misrepresent whole swathes of comments, you should care for starters.

jesus dude....man, that hw really was poorly built.

 

[ari]

"Whatever. I guess GAF is happy. I'll still be getting one, my Internet connection isn't a problem. Looking forward to [exclusive game]!" -something along those lines

I would still buy it. Just like others here. So? Lol

Wait, is mine a trolling reply?

No.........What? No lol

I assume the ones without a repair date were tossed for a new one. As to why, I can't answer that one.

He was curious so I was giving him a sneak peek.

Cool, console war bullshit as if it matters here.

 

[RobbieNick]

Annnd that's why my primary console is a 60GB launch PS3. Tho I will say I've had zero problems since I got a 360 slim two years ago.

No.........What? No lol

Nope.

No news gets peoples attention like negative news. I bet this is all done by MS to get the nexbox into as many minds as possible then wow you at E3. Free publicity or I could be wrong.

I know the list is bigger now, and some of them are pretty important. But still.

Seriously, why hasn't a mod updated the thread title?

But it's bad publicity.

 

[Rebel Leader]

am I allow to somehow pay for this?

 

[ari]

Nope.

I call bullshit.

Yahoo called it mini backlash. I guess they have higher standards in backlashes.

 

[saunderez]

Why? It's completely accurate.

 

[Revven]

I don't agree with this line of thinking. If MS had this much foresight, I don't think Major Nelson would have made any PR statement at all today. They would have candidly ignored it if it was all planned ahead of time.

Additionally, this idea has been presented several times in this thread already, lol.

 

[Syphon Filter]

wtf why is he still getting 260's if he is on his 15th? that is insane....

 

[Douche McBaggins The 3rd]

I'm not going to lie. I farted, gagged, laughed and snorted all in one shot with that gif. That is beautiful.

I didn't even know IGN's comment boards could count to 10,000.

Hmmm.... That sounds like they debunked the rumor, no?

Fuck no

 

[Boss Man]

How is that console warz exactly? You can't call everyone out and say that they're going to be wrong and then get pissy and call it console wars when someone disagrees and says you will be wrong.

 

[ThisWreckage]

I'm at a full dozen myself.

No offense, but whose fault is this? I mean, fool me once, shame on you. And you know the rest. There's brand loyalty and then there's puzzling behavior such as yours. I would have said fuck it after the second time. You know what? That's exactly what I did.

That is legendary in of itself. I've never seen likes crack 4 digits and we already have one jumping to five? Damn.

 

[richiek]

Well my Internet in my apartment is currently down right now. I wouldn't be able to play a single player game if I got a Nextbox.

 

[ari]

Wrong about what? That people will still buy the box here even with always online? How could i possibly be wrong about that?

 

[Yagharek]

Holy shit

I guess Microsoft paid for more than just polygon's launch film

Ah, I see where that other poster was coming from now. If you're out there, I understand your side.

You said we're all going to be 'spinning' this and eating crow. He said you would be. I agreed and predicted your spin, "I guess GAF is happy. Always-online doesn't bother me though." Because your attitude is that it's you vs. the world, and you being wrong would have no consequence to you other than as an opportunity to fortify that belief. GAF, as a brainwashed collective, is not right (and I'm certainly not wrong), they just lucked out so they're happy now. Either way, it never really mattered to me anyway. I just said those things to rile them up. You called it console wars at that point. I'm not sure if I answered your question or not but that's the best I can explain.

How will gaf spin this crow onslaught when MS announce non always on??

Eh, he's only paid for one 360. If it kept breaking, I'd keep getting it fixed, otherwise it's just wasted money.
