Well it wasn’t really but going by Microsoft’s track record with their products you know it has to be out there. I’m not a fanboy of any sort – I actually don’t mind MS products – use ‘em everyday – sans IE. I am a fanboy of shit working right tho. Now, I understand the [...]

This weeks Xbox Live Arcade title – Portal: Still Alive has broken the current XBLA size-cap of 350MB with its ridonkulous 629MB. I see your bandwidth and I raise you 300MB.

Microsoft Show Us Again How Well They Lie
March 13th, 2008

We already know that they’ve been less than truthful and forthright when it comes to the massive 360 failure rates. Now, they’re claiming they’ve never spoken to Sony, have no interest in putting Blu-ray into the Xbox, and can’t figure out why anyone would think that. Come on, really? (Russ) The last time I checked [...]
Xbox 360 HD DVD RIP
February 26th, 2008
Comments Off
Well, with Toshiba pulling the plug on their HD-DVD player development it was only a matter of time before Microsoft acknowledged its death. Crookedly enough, they advertised their HD-DVD player pretty heavily last week on Live. Now, even though they are acknowledging that the fight is over, they are still trying to get rid of [...]

In a move that should surprise only the most retarded of readers (i.e. not you guys! you guys is smart), Microsoft has just announced that Gears of War 2 will be making its way to the 360. What is a little surprising is that it’s slated for November 8th of this year, which in my [...]
16%? Does That Sound Low To Anyone Else?

A new report from warrenty issuer SquareTrade claims that only 16.4% of 360′s fail. Bullshit. Of the people I know, the rate is at least 85%. Another one bit the dust just a few days ago. I hate to beat a dead horse here, but 360′s, especially those with the old Xenon board, are dog [...]

Jesus fucking Christ. As you can probably tell by my tone, things are not going well in 360 land for me. As previously reported here. I have recently sent off my 360 to the Microsoft repair center. This was the second time my box shit the bed on me. The first time it was the [...]
Microsoft Don’t Care About Your Broke Ass Machine
January 28th, 2008
Comments Off
The folks over at Microsoft are more than happy to discuss how much money they’re making. It seems that once you buy one of their pieces of shit (would anyone in their right mind buy any other product with a documented failure rate like this?!), you also buy a bunch of other crap to go [...]
