Red Ring of Consumer Outrage, Anyone?
The flakiness for which Xbox 360 hardware has become infamous is unacceptable. After three years of loyal service, Loading Reality’s Vespasian’s system finally gave up the ghost while he was leading Eddie Riggs to hard rocking glory in Brutal Legend. In an instant, he went from a satisfied consumer who smugly talked up the longevity of his nearly four year old console to a member of the embittered "burned by Microsoft" crowd.
He has both his SNES and Sega CD hooked up to his television at present, and can still boot up and play Secret of Mana for the former or Lunar for the latter without any worries. Think about that, dear readers. These consoles are both well into their second decade of existence, and he can fire either up with confidence whenever he wants.
So, how about it? Shall the Xbox faithful surround Microsoft in a red ring of protest? Better yet, should we defect to the Sony and Nintendo camp?
