Hes a ps3 fanboy
Ive had my original 360 for 3 1/2 years now, never failed or rrod.
Why am I a fanboy because I have been treat well by Sony, and like dirt by Microsoft?
If so then yes I am a fanboy. But then I could argue I am an HMV fanboy, Tesco fanboy, and any other company boy who I have been treat well by and thus say positive things about over those that I have not.
For example I have been equally treat like dirt by PC World, but well by Ebuyer and Scan does that make me a Scan/Ebuyer fanboy too?
I actually own both consoles. And bought the Xbox360 first.
And very much dislike Sony as a company, read my posts around this time last year regarding the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray war.
I was firmly in the HD-DVD camp, as I disliked Sony for some years, mainly due to their rootkit trojan situation in 2006.
But I bought the PS3 in August due to wanting to watch Blu-Rays, I had some problems with the console and Sony went out of their way to sort it out. And gave me a brand new upgraded model console.
Snap back to Microsoft, I had the console which did RROD, and this is where the problems started, at the moment the returned console is faulting and the gits refuse to respond to my letters and every other form of communication. On this and the pathetic 3 month warranty only has one month left.
I acknowledge that the build quality of the 360 is poor, but to say that MS do nothing for their customers is an outright lie, and is at best an attempt to bait people into starting a flaming session
Thanks, its very nice to be called a liar.
And this furiour towards me is only because it seems I said this one line?

Microsoft shaft it's customers regarding the console, and strangely everyone seems to want to jump in to support them for it.
Or possibly was it this one?

They treat their customers as if they are idiots, that they just grifted from
I wasn't trying to start a flame war, I was trying to offer a solution to the original poster.
Last year MS announced a $billion 3-year extended warranty covering the RROD.
They did this because they were quite literally forced to do it, not out of the goodness of their hearts.
Solely because the machines they built were naff, and they were refusing to repair them, as for example in America they only offered 3 months warranty nothing more, and due to this they were charging people to do it.
And acting like the consoles were perfect and it was these people mishandling them that was causing them to break down.
Even 360 users who have suffered the dreaded RROD have (if the forums here are anything to go by) generally gotten a result from MS customer support - there are very few who don't get some form of compensation.
So far I one of the few. They even now refuse to repair the returned console (its still under warranty) and refuse to respond to my correspondence.
I can presume because I stated that I will not accept another Xenon console when this is repaired as the console is defective, and their three month warranty is not enough to cover the console breaking down as its clear the defects come into play usually well after three months.
In terms of hardware, they have improved their chipsets so they're less likely to overheat, and by most accounts the new builds seem to be less prone to overheating.
Try getting one off them when sending your POS Xenon to them, which cost you £250-£300 by the way.
See how far you get.
And according to a formal response from Microsoft they have not changed their chipsets or anything else inside the consoles, the consoles are exactly the same now as they were in 2005.
******** I know, but that is this helpful supportive companies response on the matter when you complain about getting another Xenon, which in turn is faulting again. And refuse to receive another.
They made the Opus specifically to replace faulty Xenons due to the defect, but again when you ask about this, and say that you would like the console repaired with this or the Jasper components, there is no such thing as Opus or any other different console component in the console.
Damn, I can't believe I rose to this.
Rose to what?, the two sentences I highlighted above?
And sony are t*ts sometimes, as my bro has learnt
Does that mean I can label you and your brother as Microsoft Fanboys? Just because you have had big problems with Sony?
Does that also mean if or when you report the problems you or your brother had with Sony, I can call you an out and out liar for it?
Or imply that what you will have said occurred with Sony above, actually never occurred?
