Why The Xbox 360 Sucks Dick

Networking

The Nintendo Wii, the Playstation 3, PSP, Nintendo DS - all have built-in wireless free of charge.

Not the Xbox 360.

You pay a subscription fee to get online, you pay more to buy games through it and more. It's just unbelievable that at this time of day, there's a console like this. Not even Dreamcast, do I recall, had anything like this. It worked pretty well too, even being dial-up.

To use the servers, we must pay. Lag-free and packful of features you can get on another console for free.

The Games

Alright guys, how many shooters have there been released? That's okay, say no more.

So, there's Halo which spawned the beginning of a child's favorite, gamer's hatred and a preteen's first FPS. Two sequels after, it also spawned many of clones (and at this very moment, a car just crashed.. hope it was a baby).

The Xbox 360 deserves to be in the army with this number of shooters, oh baby. All these shooters, not many games of a different genre coming out. A role-playing game, sure.. Oblivion. They decided to make it first-person since most of these shooters are, in fact, first-person (let's market to kids!).

The Problems

disc scratching -

Come on, people. Tell me you've heard of this. Okay, get this. Imagine you were playing a game, you tapped the console a bit while pulling loose a cable caught underneath the corner of the box and all of a sudden, you get a message on the screen saying that the disc is unreadable.

It happens.. alot on this thing. When I used to play a game on this (thanks to the shortage of good games, I'm not playing any on this) I would try not to touch it after one disc got scratched. I heard it was quite normal and to replace a game, you need to cough up some moolah.

overheating


This thing overheating is actually what I love alot. I would love to have this box burnt up. It's no sweat, built inside is a horrible heatsink and fan that once you turn it on, you don't need to do anything.

Exaggerating a little, but yes this thing does overheat quite alot.

red ring of death

I saved the best thing for last. The "red ring of death" as "gamers" so tastefully name it, is a major problem. Hardware issue (oh you get that alot), red ring of death.

Microsoft is known for it's "blue screen of death" which occurs alot in the older OS, not with XP or Vista much (although idiots tend to act like it still happens constantly).

Well, I guess Microsoft still missed their "of death"s that they decided to implement it right on the Xbox 360. Takes forever to repair, which they never do quite well. There's many tricks to repair it yourself available online, but you have to try several different ones to see which works.

Very hard to get it working and there's many people who went through more than one Xbox 360.


And so this is why the Xbox 360 sucks nigger dick.


Car Crash

Damnit I would love to see the damn thing but nope, I don't feel like walking.

Heard a "SCREEECH" and a "thump".

Ah, beautiful.
