Top 10 Tech Train Wrecks of 2007: Xbox 360 Makes List

Xbox 360 hardware woes

Microsoft really hit it out of the park when it came to the Xbox 360's software-consider the slick Dashboard, the persistent Achievements and Gamertags, and the top-notch Xbox Video Marketplace. But the actuall 360 hardware is a disaster: chronically glitchy, prone to overheating, and all too susceptible to the "Red Ring of Death," which signals a critical hardware failure. Indeed, I'm already on my second Xbox 360 in barely a year, and just about every 360 owner I know has had to send their console back to Redmond for repair. In June, Microsoft finally did the right thing and owned up to the shoddy state of its hardware, extending the Xbox 360's warranty to a full three years and taking a $1 billion charge in the process.

M$ should just buy out Sony game division so they can build their gaming system for them.. I mean how much is sony's game division worth now adays?? oh that's right nothing right now because its losing Sony money!

Surprising how you would make an assertion based on no statistics and no numbers. Can you show that they make $0? I think not. And furthermore, it is absolutely impossible for a company to buy another company's division unless the company with trouble puts it on sale. Do we see that? No, we don't. So, basically everything you 'try' to explain is completely useless and utterly stupid.

Who is this guy posting old news. The actual article is dated 20th nov.
You had a whole 9 days to post this article,you just dug into the archives for this one, probably because of the recent postings entailing xbox360 problems(RROD). its Pathetic really. you will need to try just a tad harder.

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX2d ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

GamerRN1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

I've been waiting for 60 to finish the game myself

OtterX1d 7h ago

hopefully we'll know by the end of tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

dmonee2d ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.
