Nintendo got its hurting earlier this week and the site saw an increase in viewership by more than 350%. But thats not why we are doing this. You see, every system has its flaws and Microsoft's console is certainly no exception.



And if you could rip Microsoft for one thing it should be and is hardware. Basically, the hardware is shit. In what world is it ok to make a console, charge 400 dollars for it, and then have it break and break and then break again. Me personally, I bought my (not so) shiny new Xbox 360 Elite on September 17th 2007. Eleven days later on the 28th, I get home to play a nice game of Halo 3 and then what do I see? Microsoft flipping me off in the form of the Three Red Lights of Death. From the time I sent it off to Microsoft up til the time I receive it was a grand total of 7 weeks. After being promised a 2-3 weeks. Whats up with that?



The Customer Service people are very helpful in Microsoft's defens3. But man if I could get someone who speaks proper english. No offense MS or anyone else but there is no excuse as to why I have to go through such a hassle to understand whats going on. Not to mention their false sentiments. When I recently sent my Xbox back and called MS the representative asked me:



"Hows your holiday going?"
(I didnt say this but i should have) How the hell do you think it's going, I have no console for
the busiest game season.



"Are you still in school?"
Yes and how exactly is that relevant, huh?HuH?!



And then to hold them more accountable, I have one more question. Microsoft for a system with a reported 33% hardware failure rate, far higher than any system in history, why is it that you are fucking over the early adopter? WHy do I have to pay now for your fuck up if I bought my console when you first wanted me to, at launch. I made you, bitches. Its good business, not good customer appreciation.



Now Xbox Live, keeping it short and sweet. I really dont mind paying for a good service but please, at least give me more free stuff. That or just dont nickel and dime. Really I think XBox Live will get better but I need Xbox Live to be a firm selling point for xbox and while it is the difference between it and the Playstation Network is certainly not $50 a year, not anymore.



The Xbox 360 as a whole has farrrrrr fewer complaints than the Wii from a Hardcore gamers standpoint (For that Scroll Down). However there are areas for improvement. Tell us more of your complaints about the Xbox 360 and vote inthe poll And become a Gam3Spawn follower for you chance to win a prize.
