Speaking of which. How many 360's has everyone gone through? My OG, launch 360 still works and so does my slim. My power supply got fucked, but that had nothing to do with it just failing and more with bullshit power plugs in old apartments. Still, I've had like, the best luck with that shit of anyone I know.

I bought an Elite, then an Arcade unit that lasted the rest of the gen

None, never buying an XBOX is the best investment you can make.

I still have my fat white one. Have had it since Christmas 2008. Kept in a well ventilated area and install every game that I've played.

 

[Xiraiya]

I tend to keep my White PS3 covered up when I go months without playing it.

Same one, 6, maybe 7 years, going strong. It was a refurb of whatever the second tier was.

PS3 died in under a year lol

I went through 4 before I wisened up and got a PS3. I got another 360 elite somewhere for less than a hundred but It is just sitting there collecting dust. I don't even know why I have it

Reminds me back way back when I got a DS and got Pokemon Pearl (I wanted Diamond) with it, it was pre-owned and had a save full of hacked Pokemon.

I was so pissed off by that.
I don't want someone's garbage.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

I wanna say fuck you, but I don't get my preorder till tomorrow.

It's just really unlikely. No reason to be anymore worried than ordering any other handheld.

You shouldn't though. Hardware failure should be an expected event for every release of every piece of hardware. This is not indicative of the quality of hardware, unless it is an egregious level of failure like with the 360.

Don't mistake this for lack of sympathy should people end up with faulty things, it's just part of the risk of manufacturing

No but shut up tho.

Just one launch console that I bought off someone that lasted quite a few years before a red ring. The next one I got ended working fine until the DVD drive went to shit and I had to slap the console so it would open. But by that time the console lived its purpose for me.

Because Microsoft bad right?

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

I got a PS3 in like, 2012, after realizing that none of the games I want to play were on 360. The only reason I got one was because Tales of Vesperia and the promise that 360 was going to be supported by Japanese games.

 

[Ohmygoditsjrod]

Yeah. Got an Xbox for Mass Effect and have zero regrets about it. I also got to play the Witcher 2 so definitely worth it.

None surprisingly. I still have my original elite 360.

Had one since 2010. It has held up strong.

Is a pre-owned game still having a save data... Surprising?

Mine died in 2012, a few months after ME3 came out. I then managed to sucker Best Buy into paying $100 for it at some trade-in thing they were doing.

I certainly don't regret buying it. Really damn good games and better versions of some multiplats.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

My 360 was worth it solely so I didn't have to suffer through RE5 with a Dual Shock 3. Online being better for stuff like Street Fighter was also great.

This man know.

Best times gaming playing a ton of multiplayer games with online friends and local friends.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Halo 3 is the literal only time I've enjoyed multiplayer first person shooting. So 360 gets a pass for that.

Yes Aaron, it was very surprising because I'm stupid and don't know what pre-owned means.

But in reality, it wasn't marked anywhere that it was pre-owned or anything, I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it was, but anyway it was forever ago.

Hell yeah it is, Ps3 and PC is severely lacking in SF4 online.
SF5 new net code and combined player pool means that won't be an issue!

I really wonder how much time I have pumped in Halo 3 and ODST and Reach. It's probably at least over a thousand hours.

PS3 can't handle being on the same network as Abu

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

It's good you can admit that.

I only got a ps3 to play last of us, uncharted 2 and the infamous games.

I guess it was worth it

 

[Xiraiya]

It's good you can admit that.

But that wasn't the case since there was no stickers or any kind of indication anywhere that it was a pre-owned game, as you saw in the part of my post you cut out for your petty enjoyment.

I had a launch 360, it died back in 09 I think, tried my best to repair it with the guides on youtube only for it to die like a week after.
Then I got a Slim in 2010 and it's been fine ever since.

Reminds me back way back when I got a DS and got Pokemon Pearl (I wanted Diamond) with it, it was pre-owned and had a save full of hacked Pokemon.

Oh God, I hate pre-owned shit.
I rather pay a premium for a new game than buying it for 5-10 euros cheaper.
I got AC2 for 5 euros in 2011, and that was the last pre-owned game I bought.

I actually generally buy used, since I'm buying games from generations ago. I like saving money to buy more useless stuff.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

I actually generally buy used, since I'm buying games from generations ago. I like saving money.

If it's a difference of a couple bucks I'll just get it new, but if it's anything above like, $10, then I'll usually just get the used. Worst case scenario is that I have to delete a save file, which is only an issue on Nintendo games, which rarely go down in price anyway.

If only you could admit that you're actually an ass.

Yeah basically, I don't really care about the cost, I'm buying a thing for it to be brand new and be mine.

 

[Okingjrr]

If they're games for previous generations, I can understand. Limited prints and what not.
I'm mostly talking about current gen games. Like the ones with pre order codes and club nintendo codes, that kind of stuff.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

If only you could admit that you're actually an ass.

 

[Xiraiya]

I mean yeah, getting fussy over like a PS2 game at this point in time is madness unless you're some kind of collector who wants untouched games.

Yeah, I'll spare like $5 or even $10 for new if that's all. Obviously I prefer new, but money.

I bought Destiny used and saved like $25.

I never buy used games because I always assume the worst of people. Like seriously, there is nothing stopping someone from dick slapping a game before trading it in.

I'm on my 9th. I ain't even joking. This one has been working fine for years but I dont keep it plugged in anymore. Still I had some awful luck with them.

More or less, I never imagined anything that insane but you know, I don't go out of my way to buy things all that often, so when I do, it better be brand new.

I just hate going out to eat in general, I always get the food and think..I could of made this way better..and for a lot cheaper.

Fuck going out to eat.

Edit: I'm not cringing because of the money, I'm cringing because of the shitty food.
