No More 360?
 
word has reached my ear that the 360 is taking a vacation until next fall or so so that Microsoft can work out the bugs (crashing in 5 minutes, overheating, etc) and I've also heard that the reason is because they only really worked on it for about 3 months when the xbox was worked on for 11. The Vacation would explain why There are no 360's in any store I go to.

What about you, are there still 360's in stores where you guys live, what have you heard, cause I'm kinda worried.

Well, here (England) Xbox 360's have been sold out since before Christmas. Although I hear Microsoft are getting some here for the end of January.

I havn't heard anything about this thing though.

Wah wah, we're taking a vacation so we can make our product work, what we said was going to be released and fully functional November 25 2005.

If they take any sort of break after hyping the world up, me says jihad me does.

Don't get 360 here until about March, and I'll be damned if it's any later.

They have been sold out since the release where I live. I have heard of the bugs but not it taking a vacation.

uhhh dude, i wen't to best buy yesterday and i saw them stacked up. and people just buying them. the 360's still around. even though i saw alot of places where they had signs saying they ran out. i don't trust microsoft, even though i have the first Xbox.

1st shipment of 360's had bugs. But the 2nd shipment being sold on new years eve was supposedly fixed and bug free.

I heard that it was something like 2% of the XBox 360's had bugs.

It's possible, but it's seen as a bonus! You open up your 360 box and a nice, helpful, delightful little moth jumps out, with it's "Whatho!" and "Tally-chap".

It was actually 3% which is apparently well below the industry standard of bugs and manufacturing problems.

People have only been making it sound like a lot because 3% of many millions (or however many XBox 360's were shipped) in terms of numbers does sound like a lot. But 3% of 100% isn't.

say on an other planet, there are 20 BILLION gruhmbas. if an oblect called Wa came out and 19 billion Gruhmbas have them, and 3% of the Wa's have bugs in them, thats still gonna lead alot of Gruhmbas with buged out wa's.

get it?

Plus, you know, Nintendo and Sony fanboys just say that as an excuse for them not to buy it.

OMG BUT IT ASPLODE WHEN I PLAY IT FOR 1 HOUR

Icarus, Please shut up. We knew how many already.
Not trying to be rude, But that really didn't need to be explained.

Points for creativity, but that really sounds stupid.

Leto 01-10-2006 11:17 PM

Triple quote, a new record.

I like Gruhmbas, sexually. Although small in Wa size, the fact that there is 20 billion of them is most definatley compensated for.
