All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Hardware
The Xbox - Dirty Secrets
linuxnfreedosman1986:
The way I see it, Microsoft is trying to force Nintendo, Sega, Sony, etc. out of the video game business with their crappy X-box... just like they did to Netscape with Internet Exploder. I'm trying to convince my friends to stay away from the X-box and everything else Microsoft-related.

Humm.. I don't know what to say, I honustly Like the X-Box, I own all the system, Dreamcast, X-Box, Gamecube and PlayStation 2, I love them all, they all have positives and Negatives, Ps2 is built like crap, awsome games, backwards compatible, but built like shit, falls apart, I repaired over 10 of them, X-Box is built good in my opinion. I have no issues, but most games sucks, only reason I got it was for Halo and Dead Alive 3, but its built good, Gamecube, sucks allread except Resident Evil and Metroid Prime, its ugly, small and not the greatest, soooo overall I like them all, just have issues thats all, but X-Box is the Microsoft, which is the enemey :( oh well, I believe Apple should make a Video Game system, it would RULE! Apple GameMac GX hehe

I bet your high school English teacher cries at night.
An Apple console would probably outright kill off the X-Box as competition, and make Sony and Nintendo seriously rethink their current strategies. While it would be Apple hardware, and thus the most expensive console on the market... it would definitely be worth the money, and I'd buy it.

its not just with X-Box where this happens PS2 has the same problems
I have had two of them and the 1st was broken due to lens being dirty and despite using several cleaners it did not work thereafter

So basically, Microsoft and Sony both chose to use crappy DVD-ROM drives in their consoles. The difference is Microsoft's taking advantage of the situation.
I haven't opened or even owned either of these consoles, so I can't be sure of this. But wouldn't it be less expensive to simply replace the drive yourself than to send it in to some Borg reclamation center to have its crap-out meter reset?
