I call bullshit. Where do you work, the "smash an xbox with a hammer" factory? I notice that you yourself do not claim to have ever owned one. Funny how that works huh? You have no first hand knowledge and a vehement opposition to a product you've never tried. Fanboy.
You're spouting some seriously outdated propaganda. The failure rate has been on a steady decline since 2008, when changes were made to the design.

Because you're so impartial right?
So 15 xboxes and not one of them took advantage of the fact that MS repairs RROD'ed consoles for free?
It could happen to you, folks!
You are such a fucking toadie.
Well, i work with British Telecom, an IT company based out of the UK at their Princeton office here in NJ. Second, you can call BS or not, but since none of the people i know are members here you can say what you wish. They stated to me what they said, not to you, so you can call it how you want to call it. But if people who owned one, gave it a bad rap when they talked about it, then why would i want to get one anyways? Kinda like getting info from your friend about a car before you buy it because they had a lot of problems with it. So let me ask you, do you still buy the car or do you rethink the decision by the information provided to you by those who have it? lol Simple way of thinking right?
Now the link you posted still shows that there is still a failure rate. The decrease might correct but the thing that you need to remember is that they could have gotten the lemon out of the bunch. So it still counts as a failed console right? But of course, you would not think about that would you? Pretty small view of thinking if you ask me.
Asking if I'm impartial, in a thread about PSN. I will just not respond to that at all since it would just cause unneeded responses..
Now about the 15 Xboxes, they chose what to do, not me so if they did not want to, then it's really their choice right? lol so what do you want me to tell you about this? They did not do it, so they did not do it..lol
So, I am a "fucking toadie" lol man how old are you? really? Sigh, this is the reason why i think people behind a keyboard love to act a certain way because they are behind the keyboard. Nothing was said to you in an offensive manner and because you could not find anything good to say, words like these are used to show that fact.
But to answer you, i will say this, "The PSN breach
to me is nothing as big as people are making it. All major corps, have been working like this for years." Note a couple of words in this line. They are in bold to help you. Those words mean that its an opinion that i had about the whole situation. Companies do not follow business practices as you might have learned. They are really out there to make a profit so any and all corners that they can cut, they will cut. Its how they can have a good profit margin by the end of the fiscal year. Now who really knows anything about what happened here? I am pretty sure that no one here does, unless you work with Sony, and that is if you are apart of their NOC. So all, any of us can do is offer our opinions to the matter since none of us has the live data to make an educated analysis on what happened to the PSN or SOE.
