Here is the scenerio:
I am a "die hard" PS2 fan.
I want to give the X-box a bad name:
(I here of a few issues on some of the consoles)
I come into a X-box forum and start stating that your X-
Box is glitching and acting up, controllers do not work,
system will not work, etc....
What better way to scare people out of getting one then by
using Microsoft propaganda.
I know some have issues but we all know that happens with
every console. Look at the issues Sony has had with their
little tiny retarded memory cards. They have had that
issue since it came out!
Just thought I would see if anyone felt the same way I do!
It's funny how "other" console owners use to try and bag the xbox on it's
merrits i.e. my "insert other console name here" is more powerful. Now that
even the most diehard fans of other consoles realise xbox is technically
more powerful than any other console on the market they're trying to drag it
down with this crap about reliability problems....
Enjoy your games on any console.

1. The price for an xbox 6 months ago was $299, not $350.
2. The fee is $129, not $132
3. What does having a PS1 for 5 years have to do with sticking with a PS2?
This is probably the biggest mistake you made, otherwise I would have
thought you were just ignorant of your monetary facts.
Methinks me smells a troll. Or a dumb corporate basher.

You really paid $350 for the xbox? No, Give me a break.
You talk about the PS1, but NOTHING about the durability of the PS2. Yet
you tell people to "stick with their PS2". This is ludicrous. You do
realize that they are different products, made in different places, with
different components. Otherwise I could stupidly say,"I've used Microsoft
mice and keyboards for years. Stick with the Xbox". The statement has no
bearing on the product, just the reputation of the company.
I hate it if you had trouble, but what you are saying does not make sense.
And bashing the XBox while pushing people to the PS2 in the process has
happened far too many times in this newsgroup for people to see you other
than a troll.
If you did have trouble talk about it - you'll find people willing to help.
But there is not reason whatsoever to push the other consoles in an XBOX
newsgroup unless you want to be treated like a troll. That, my friend, is
just common sense.

Since you insist that you paid $350 instead of $299, is it possible that you
were charged for some kind of warranty at the point of purchase? Why don't
you dig out the receipt and verify? It doesn't sound farfetched at all that
you could have a warranty and not know it.
I still stand by my comment that you are only inviting
the very same tedious conversations you were
complaining about. Just look at the rest of the thread.
If you go spoiling for trouble, you'll find it in open
NG's.
