Well i thought it was common knowledge, the 360 didn't have any major changes in hardware until recently where they started adding a second heatsink, and surprise surprise, only on the Elites. So they Premium and Core are still defective. And the older elites still have the problem btw.

Whatever. You see it that way, people that know me don't.
Funny how the 3 people that love their 360s (and there is nothing wrong with that) are the ones seeing me as "biased". Maybe your the ones a bit too much on the defensive side?
I might have said some pretty stupid things, but that was back in the days JKK was around, and it was only to piss him off.

Please hushy, are you even thinking about what you just said?
Lying to make your company look good is understandable, lying to make your company look bad?...
And btw, it's called annual earnings announcements, they're made public to stock holders, and they had to justify the 1Billion in repairs by stating they had over 2.5 Million defective consoles.
The 2.5 Million was reported in Fox News, Microsoft it self have stated that EVERY console is defective, some retailers stopped accepting defective 360s, etc...
Of course depending on the conditions (weather, humidity, etc...) its normal that some people don't have problems. That doesn't mean there isn't one.

Also, I already stated why i i'm against the current live fee. I've been playing online for free for ages, with good dedicated servers, now i need to pay to play on p2p servers? Nop. Charging for the others features is fine, but charging for just playing online is dumb.

Do you want to know why Bungie released the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack on a seperate disc in addition to Live? Not just because some people don't have LIVE, but because some people use these programs! They even said it themselves. |
I know for a FACT that some games are blocking it. You can try it for your self, just go download LFS... That alone makes it a grey area. That's why its called a grey area, some support it some don't.
Oh and hushy... wikipedia?
