Iv heard thats one thing 1000's of them had that
Microsoft ways of making money?
|
If you send the console back to Microsoft for a free repair, how do they profit from that? It's just a flaw, not a money-making scheme.
|
Did not know they were free....

You can send it into microsoft, free of charge, and they will repair it and send it back. They also give complementary 1month xbox live member ships for the inconvenience.

I must have missed that

While I still do fully believe that it is just a flaw, I do wonder if Microsoft doesn't actually profit from it.
Sure, the cost of the shipping, the repair, and the 1 month free subscription would make you think that they actually lose money, but the money maker is actually in the free subscription. By offering one month free, they can entice new gamers into subscribing, which could ultimately result in a profit for Microsoft.

Thats thinking pretty far ahead

I disagree with that. The majority of Xbox gamers already subscribe to Xbox LIVE.
Sure you may be correct to some extent, but that's only really a minority of people. It really depends on the individual customer; what games they have, their willingness to play other people, as well as there willingness to pay a subscription fee.
I don't think it is as much as a money making ploy as it is a "please don't hate us and stop using our services" ploy.

Anyways the point im trying to say is while the xbox 360 has good graphics better then ps3 I seen one like 3 to 4 you tube videos, it has lot of recalled systems and a flimsy console never once has anyone I owned an old xbopx or ps1 or ps2 has it competently fucked my 2 games with one scratch in a perfect circle for barely lifting or tilting the front to slide a paper form under it I mean i know its not good to do it but come on like no one has moved it or barely lifted the front to remove something from under it about 1 inch thats complete fucking bullshit...

The PS3 has far superior graphics than the 360, there is no doubt about that.
However, the problem lies in the fact that the console is not meant to be tilted while a disk is in the tray being read. I'm pretty sure there is a disclaimer or something saying that in the manual. It isn't that it's a flimsy console, it's that you did something with it that it wasn't designed to do.
*edit* of course people have lifted it and moved it around, but not while it is powered on and in the middle of actually reading the disk.

|
I'm sure someone has already said it but, it says not to move the 360 with a disk in the tray in the manual, and on that sticker on the front of the disk drive when you first buy it.
|
I never notice but i guess we all learn things the hard way right?
