Permit me to refute everything you wrote... I work Microsoft Compliance. I used to also work on PS3 compliance. Here's facts.

Perhaps with the older generations. Not so with the last, slim version. This point is one of the two big points used when fanboys argue against Microsoft. The fact is, yes, the console was cheaply developed. However, they've always been prompt in fixing or replacing your console and their fixes were progressively better. PS3 have had less problems, true but also less support.

I'll skip the part about how blurays are better; it's irrelevant as far the the x360 is concerned. A blowjob is also better than a DVD but I'm not asking Microsoft to comply.

Two things here. First you mention removing and playing with the casing (and how it breaks after a while) and not finding clean used games. You fail to see that Microsoft will in no way cater to the used game market and even less so to console modification. The fact that your personal console modifications make the console brittle after some back and forth is not something you can hold against the X360 because that's not the point of the console. You may not like it but hey, you're breaking the law here. As far as used games are concerned, you must not hit the right places. Every single used game I bought at EB Games and Gamebuzz has been clean as a whistle. Even so, not Microsoft's problem.

Again, not a problem. This was known from the start. Would you rather have a dumbed-down version like on Wii? See, even if you WANT to complain about this, understand that it's not Microsoft's fault. Microsoft has very strict rules and companies pay to break them. It's that simple. Take L.A Noire. Three disks! And yet Skyrim fits on one and has everything the PS3/PC versions have. Multi-disk games could be better compressed. Usually it's the publisher's laziness at work.

First of all, that's a flat-out lie. The console has thirteen official languages and many games exploit all of them (for instance, Ubisoft will often go out of their way to support at the VERY MINIMUM EFIGS (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish), even in North-America. The thing behind this is that there are regions and regions come with languages. Sony and Microsoft have different region systems ... and game companies do as well. Just know that if a game you have doesn't have multiple languages, it's not because Microsoft prohibits it, it's because the company behind your game is lazy and doesn't want to provide a localization. Because the availability is there.

I'll finish with two parts of your second post:

I like how you finally give one thing Microsoft does that Sony doesn't and you do it in a negative way. Let's be honest here. The Move is shit. It's not fanboyism, here. We all know it's shit. Even Sony says it's shit. It's a bad ripoff of the Wiimote. Kinect, on the other hand, works. I don't like the games on it (and Ubisoft seems relentless in exploiting it) but nevertheless, it works. How that's supposed to be something negative, I can't say. Maybe you can.

And what the fuck did they had in their minds, releasing a console with 4GB HDD... When the 250GB Hard drive costs 149... I would honestly spit on them.


How is that bad marketing on Microsoft's part? Every price drop is announced quite a while in advance and the drops are far in between. You have plenty of time to make your promotions and try to sell your stock. What do you want? You want Microsoft to sell the consoles for you? To hold your hand while teaching you how to exploit your stock? It seems like bad marketing on your part more than anything.

Now, I've defended the company enough. Bear in mind that I've worked with both consoles long enough and dealt with both companies enough to understand that both are flawed, both can be fun and that nothing irritates me more than fanboys on either side, fighting about their favorite console while using widely inaccurate facts. No offense, Max but you don't seem to know what you're talking about, other than selling the damn things. I'm sure you have plenty of expertise fixing the consoles but you seem to have no notion of what Microsoft should be doing (or not doing).

If you guys want me to defend Sony, go right ahead. I'm nerding out this weekend :P Though it'll be a bit harder for me to do, what with their textfile-security and all.

I won't even bother replying DrNyarlathotep. I think you misunderstood what i said (i.e., where did i talk about console modification o_O In my world, you have to take the game in / out of the casing to put it in the console. And about the battery pack... Man, i work in a Microplay... it's not like if i didn't knew. Yet, it's not included with the controller when you buy it. And so on)

But anyway, tell me you're not an x-box 360 fanboy, writing a 50 line reply ;)

It's clear a mouse has its advantages ( as well as keyboard binds ) but I've seen things done with a controller that I can't explain. In fact, I have more respect for incredibly skilled people using a controller than a mouse.

The only thing that fucking sucks with a controller is good luck doing a quick 180 when you're being shot in the back. :(

Yeah but then again, this is a matter of preference. I've seen some crazy hyper-precise circular chopper strafing on X-Box Live so much so you think they're cheating. I've seen some crazy shit done with a controller on this game, period. Heh.

i'm way more pro with a mouse than with a controller to be honest, like in counterstrike i can't be stopped, i'm just not that comfortable with controllers, they're fucked. but my bud is the opposite, the guy gets scores of fucking ridiculousness, especially with COD, he gets like 90 to 130 kills, and 3 - 10 deaths it makes me sick

No, you just suck as a player, that's all. :) Then again, I've seen and experienced this a whole lot in BF3 as of late. Bullets travel quite a whole lot if fired accordingly ( compensating for distance and bullet drop ). Also, if you're prone flat on the floor, you have a little less recoil and more accuracy.

It IS possible but you have to be pretty damn good to pull it off.
