I spent a lot of time in 2007 on the subject of defective Xbox 360s, as did my former colleague Dean Takahashi.
It was a year ago - April '07 - when I interviewed then Microsoft exec Peter Moore (now at Electronic Arts) and he responded to my question about 360 failure rates with what quickly became a famous soundbite:
"I can't comment on failure rates, because it's just not something – it's a moving target. What this consumer should worry about is the way that we've treated him. Y'know, things break, and if we've treated him well and fixed his problem, that's something that we're focused on right now. I'm not going to comment on individual failure rates because I'm shipping in 36 countries and it's a complex business."
When he said "Y'know, things break," well, I'm not sure that even registered with me until I transcribed the interview. But, oh, how that was repeated and cited around the world, often in the context of being glib to the point of cavalier.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.
Dawn of The First Day
-72 Hours Remain-
Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
i have to agree with one of the guys, if Microsoft can't reason for themselves perhaps a class action will make them understand.
Anybody noticed when only one or two positive 360 threads are posted somebody trolls for a type of anti MSFT counter to that good news as if news is meant to be some sort of battle between rivals lol.
but what big multinational isnt now days. The only thing they can understand is $$$ so ya if its a lawsuit lets hope its a big one...
Cause if their profit is greater than their losses chance are nothings gonna change.
Like these trolls were waiting in here to jump on 360 fans lol. Like Sharks around a piece of meat lol. Waiting to vent on 360 fans for just *a few* positive 360 posts lol.
how could you follow a company that says that about its product......... doesnt make since to me
