    This is the internet. It means nothing. Don't believe otherwise.

    He said SOMETIMES. At least Sony made the PS3 work instead of the shitfest that is the 360. DRM sucks though.

    Okay, cool, then I have nothing to worry about.

    The problem is "save a couple pennies" and the "lead free solder" stuff.

    They use lead free solder in the 360, and when the techs removed the chips, they discovered they didn't use "enough" solder for the ball grid array to stay in place. Little blobs of solder would crack and cause a red ring.

    Darn, and I was thinking of getting a 360 next month.

    I wasn't talking about hardware failures or any of that, I'm talking basic premise of the console, controller design, and most importantly, GAMES. There is not a single XBOX 360 exclusive I am interested in, period. Forza 2 can blow me, I'd rather play pole position on the 2600 than that waste of a game.

    Oh, wait. I forgot you didn't like the N64.

    They discontiued the elite. But the Arcade has the same motherboard as the Elite.

    That kind of elitism is what is wrong with the video game playing public.
    I suspect you have no taste at all. Wait, I am positive. The games are what matters, not the systems they're played on. What do I care? This is the internet, it doesn't matter if someone has no taste in video games.

    The Elite have problems too. I see them on work benches opened up with soldering stations nearby.

    I think you're missing the point. You know those games you like? I don't like them. Here's a fifteen-paragraph essay about how wrong you are:
