All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Hardware
Lazygamer VS X-box!
cloudstrife:
here is the problem with xbox - quality control. I have dreamcast, ps2, gamecube and xbox. And my xbox has never crashed. My buddy's xbox crashes ALL THE TIME. This is a problem with the way they are contstructed: they take a bunch of PC parts and hand them to some 12-year-old child laborer. If the kid knows how to put that shit together right, then u get a good xbox like mine. If the kid doesnt know how to do it, then you get a POS xbox that has loose connections, screws, etc. of course, it also has to do with the kernel, but i think it is actually mainly hardware.
Also keep in mind that M$ just doesnt care enough to thoroughly test xboxes before they ship.
Keep in mind that PS2s stop reading cds after a while and must be recalibrated. So Xbox isnt the only piece of shit console out there. not that that makes it right for it to crash.

And I have always thought about geting and X-Box. I'd love to use it just to pop all my MP3's and Roms on there that are clutteting up my HD. Then I could happily emulate away. But then I always come back to Reality

Some say the X-Box is very stable for a Microsoft Product... They say they are doing a good job... but heres whats really going to happen.
Sure the X-Box didnt crash much, but Windows 3.x didnt do that much either, just wait till they get everyone in the cycle, and then they will put timer bugs in... 2 years and the X-Box will crash lots, to get you to get an "upgrade".
They can dominate the Operating System for the cheapest machines that all will buy... then they can dominate the Web Browser... then attempt the Web Server and stuff... Well what next, hmmmmm lets try and blow sony and Nintendo out of the water... what next... the tv market... hifi... porno?... World Politics (All hail fruher gates)...
Who knows what next... but if we dont act fast like we should have on the Personal Computer years ago.... The console will be shit out of luck to.
The only reason MS used a more stable kernel for XP was because they ph3ar the p3nguin.

hehehehe that was awesome.
my friend owns an xbox (I own a GCN) and he is always trying to show me what it can do......half the time when he puts a game in it wont work and he has to take out and try again...its pathetic....I have also seen one of those green screens of death.....I cried with laughter.

somebody said the reason the xbox was no good was 'quality control'. that's only half right. in my opinion, it's too much control and not enough quality...
