The Forgotten Lair Forums

yesterday I was playing my game well then I see some nice NICE speckles well guess what that was my Xbox360 Crashed aka means my I got the "devils eye" or ROD(ring of death) like i said Ring of Death

this was the message I said of Coarse u guys saw it on the chat box!!
F*&^&ing MICROSOFT BUYING CHEAP A^^ PARTS I got the ring of DEATH know I have to send it into Microsoft know to get it fixed I swear to god!! it always helps!!

well today i check on my Warrant guess what it said



soo yeah im doing this while drinking a nice cold COLD diet coke since I got the "Bad influence on the young lings" no Questions asked

What do u sthink I should do?

Fix the xbox360 but it may bite me back in the Butt in the next year

or

throw the system at my Brother with a nice bow tie and say here have a nice present go back to my computer games in solitude and bow to never go into the Systems for at least I don't know 7 years

or

get a PS3 and laugh Evilly at the Xbox360 and Bill Gates

and like U see I removed my gamertag from the spot!!

first off, I'd call Microsoft a few times and see if you get a representitive that's willing to pull some strings (sometimes if the warranty isn't expired long, they'll let it slip by)

if that doesn't work...

consider whether the games you want to play are on the 360 or the PS3....

do you want to spend 399....things like that...

Well in my house we have all of the systems, but personally I like the PlayStation equipment. Any game that I want that is on another system i can usually get it for the playstaion systems, and now with the PS3 i can download user converted games. I would personally recommended you getting a PS3 cause there is a lot you can do with it and it's like a second computer. Basically the only thing you can't do with it is edit pictures and make wallpapers.

we been thinking toss out the old

and get the newer model with the new stuff in

Yikes the PS3 is heavy money anyway
wii is less power and the games are not that kind of my style

now i should wait tell my good friend come over and see his opinion!!

the new elite xbox360 got the jasper chips and they are discontinuing the "prenuim" that just got a little weird I think it was due to that problem


no i called him hes wasn't there I have to wait next day!! I know!! and hes a Nintendo Fanatic yeah he have all the systems

The PS3 is a good option if you want it for the blueray and the gaming system. If you price compare, you're pretty much paying for the blueray alone and getting the system free. Also remember, all playstation models (past the first of course) have the backwards technology to play older version games. If you find that worthwhile, and like to get into the blueray, and watch dvds alongside of it all, then it's a worthwhile buy in the long run. Otherwise, I would just stick with the Xbox. I personally would stay with Xbox because it doesn't seem like the games that Sony is putting out is even pushing the new system's abilities graphics wise. I would give them a while and see what they can actually put out for this system. Also, you never know if the price will go down after a while either. Sony looked too far ahead when making the PS3, and didn't anticipate the general public to do the same. They took a risk jumping into blueray, and with the way the economy is right now, people affording such a high end system is unlikely. I think Sony is going to be hurting on those decisions. Your thoughts?

^^ well I found out that I have around 23 xbox360 games and I rather not try to sell them or Eb games well probably give me around 2 bucks!!

and I tried to ask them how much is to sell my system they said
$60.00 that covers for the system and the Hard drive(aka memory core)

OR OR OR OR OR OR OR OR OR OR

$10.00 for just the system

I was starting to get mad on the phone I Said "is there a way for my memory can i at least keep it or Transfer to the other one I may have to buy" they said "NO" and they said also "we got the memory transfer kit here"

well then I bought another xbox360 but it was the arcade one that has nothing on it!! just the system and I never stopped hugging it!!

(one Lesson I learned NEVER take Credit from a EBgames store NEVER)

soo yeah and something on the $100.00 well here some juice they cant say its fix people online sent there xbox360 back and they sent them a Refurbished one soo one thing a I learned from this "don't trust Microsoft"

I'd probably go with a PS3. I never really had any problems with it, and I ended up playing that more than I have my XBox 360. Hell, last time I touched my XBox was in November, and that was to get that lame "New Experience" update.

Plus, the PS3 does NOT lock you out of buying games from where ever you are in the world. Microsoft would routinely lock me out of buying anything on their Live service, since I was running off of a South Korean IP. Sony apparently didn't care, and let me purchase to my heart's content. Throw in the fact that my credit card would also get cracked into by hackers each time I bought MS Points online, and yeah.....like I said, I deliberately let my XBox gather in dust.

So get a PS3....it's been a more worthwhile investment for me when compared to the XBox 360.
