Yet to figure out how MS stays in business producing crap...
They can't limit unstable performance to PCs, don't ya know
so what the smoke tonight martin? La Gloria Cubana -- Mudero here...
I've been playing mine a lot and it seems to be holding up, though there has been a few unnerving loading pauses in Ridge Racer 6 that weren't there for the first day =/
I'll wait for a few revisions before I think about buying.
I'm SOOOOOOOOO sick of crashing windows that there is NO WAY I'd buy anymore of thier products. My next PC will either be a Mac or running Linux.
The practice of selling products like Microsoft sells, and relying on customer feedback and bug reports to work out the glitches should be illegal.
Design it, Debug it and make it reliable, then market and sell it. Not design, sell, then work on the bugs.
Gonna go to the default after-dinner smoke: Acid Clean Natural Robusto
did they try ctrl-alt-delete?
I worked for a major corporation for 20+ years that could not get enough MS products. we tested all their products because our management thought MS was better than sliced bread. we had to shove our crap as "production" then cathc the shit when all of them broke.
You're kidding, right? A company that virtually revolutionized our society, and made a few million stockholders a few zillion dollars.
Unless you're Steve Jobs, I'll guess you're kidding...
Actually with XBOX it would be
A-B-White
LOL
they learned how to sell shit early and it paid off...
Being just a bit harsh here aren't we? My 360 has been running almost non-stop since 1:00 am Tuesday, running three different games and with 4 teenage boys to abuse it.
No problems at all to report here and from my own reading online, the true number of problem boxes out there is extremely small given the number of boxes put into production in this short time period.
Ease up on MS a bit and save your ammo for when they truly screw something up.
Are we talking about the Xbox or the Windows operating system here? Nyack.
The info I've read seems to indicate two problems:
1) The box runs very hot.
2) The DVD drive is very noisy.
Is that the case on your system?
Are the graphics as good with it as they've been claiming?
They said the same thing about 95, that there were a few "isolated" reports of malfunctions. Then they had to make two new version of it an finally went to 98 which was F***ked also and 98se which was better, to XP which is so full of holes that it is so pathetic that I went back to 98SE. MS always makes crap but they know how to market and that gets them by!
...but you know what I'm talking about, I suspect....and probably just an itty bit jealous.
