Newsweek's Level Up Posts:
"My first Xbox 360--that's right, my first Xbox 360--died just two weeks after I received it as a surprise for my wedding anniversary last summer (my wife still gets Hall of Fame status for that gift idea.) One minute it was humming along nicely as I parachuted into position on Bridge Too Far in Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, the next it froze up and stared me down with its HAL 9000-esque eye burning three-quarters red--the dreaded "ring of death" came to visit. I somewhat sheepishly brought it back to my local Best Buy, secretly afraid--after a night of Googling message boards--that I'd suffocated it in our TV cabinet and melted its innards to mush. The salesperson at the returns desk barely looked up as I gingerly pushed the repackaged unit across the counter. "So have you been getting a lot of returns on these?" I ventured after the silence became uncomfortable. "Uh-huh," she said, eyebrows raised, "good luck with this one," pushing a new unit back across the counter. I left quickly."
In your quest to gain most Heat on new to win the contest you're posting blogs now. You know it will generate a lot of heat because of all the M$/Xbox hating Sony fans on this site. So you go past the rules and post a blog, not even close to being news. You and everyone who approved this show how this site is going to sh!t, and being taken over by Sony fangirls.
-Edit- Who disagreed with me? Do tell why I'm wrong.
Lord Anubis, oh boy didn't expect that from you, fangirl. How about I spam N4G with blogs about PS3 having no good games or exclusives? How it's inferior to the 360? Is that news? No, no it is not. And neither is this, you approve such filth because you truly want this site overtaken by you and the other fangirls. Oh well, grats on taking over N4G, I'm sure Sony is proud =)
Icewake it's nothing personal
You claim sony fans to bag on this xbox machine like it's a conspiracy...whats it going to take for you to admit that it was not a well built machine and that MS doesn't belong in the hardware business...they know it !!!....this will be their last system...investors will make sure of it...it's obvious why MS focused on 07 games at e3...you really think MS is thinking of the future for the xbox ? Quit your denial like most xbox owners...i am a former xbox owner that is PISSED off that they launched a horrible machine....im happy they're trying to correct it...yes they do have a lot of money to float around...but as an investor i'd be pissed, and believe me they are at their xbox division...GAME OVER ! enjoy this final holiday season...I GUARANTEE this is it for the 360...it has hit its peak...and please don't be like every "xbox fanboy" and say halo to the rescue...that gets old !...It probably got too old for Peter Moore as well by using the halo button....hey hey hey good bye....nanananana
Okay lets start. First off Sony fans trash the 360 because they're afraid of the competition, not because it is truly bad. If it was would it have sold 10 million and be out selling the PS3 nearly 2:1 even though it's been out a year longer than the PS3? The investors pulling out part I really doubt, the costs of the 360s are a drop in the bucket compared to what M$ has, they have plans. Pissed of they launched a horrible machine? Everything about it is superior to the PS3, except its Dvd drive. Hit its peak? Ha, wait until the price drop(like they really even need one, though) then you'll see how a system can really sell. Halo to the rescue? You hate that? Sounds a lot like MGS4 to the rescue, except Halo can sell 4 million months before it's even out.

I know you never come back to news (well with this Blog) after posting but...If the 360's dead and is still doing better than the PS3 what does that make the PS3...come on someone say it :)
