Meet The 360, The Most Unoriginal, and Uninnovative Piece of Trash on the Market, and Perhaps the Worst Thing Microsoft Has Ever Developed. 360, You Fail.

Another horrible flaw in Microsoft’s business plan is Xbox-Live. Again, for n00bs and non-gamers, Xbox-Live is the online play on the 360, which requires a monthly fee to access and play on. Now, most Xbots (hardcore Xbox fans) say that the monthly fee of $7 is nothing and is worth it for “great online play”. Well, it’s not. $7 a month really adds up, $84 a year with the month by month plan, or $50 if you buy a whole year at once. Almost every system ever released has had internet access to some extent and only very early systems such as the NES and Genesis have had a monthly fee to play online. But here comes Microsoft, stumbling over its own feet and charging a monthly fee for online play. As Ben Dover (that’s his username, not a joke) once said on a Yahoo.com forum, “You already pay for your internet access, why pay for it again?”(1) Sony knows that, Nintendo knows that, Blizzard gets it but ignores it on WoW, and almost every other PC game company knows it too. Microsoft already makes a whole bunch of money on their other products, like Windows and Office, but strangely, they think they need more. Go drown in your swimming pools full of money Microsoft. That’s right, if we, The United Gamers of America, keep paying for Xbox-Live Microsoft WILL drown in money. Luckily, Bill Gates has already retired.

My third topic to blow wide open is why. Why. Ask yourself, Why? This might not be making very much sense, but it will be explained after I repeat the word why a few more times. Why? Why? WHY? Why? OK now I will explain: Why use a 360 when almost all games released on 360 are released for the far superior PS3 or PC. That’s right I called you out on it. And Xbox-Live is the WORST reason to play it on a 360 I have EVER heard. Left 4 Dead, a recent 360 title was actually released for PC and then ported to the 360 because most PCs are too n00b to run it smoothly. The “Orange Box” another great game was released for PC, 360, and PS3. The PS3 version had slight clipping issues which were fixed a week later in an update. Other than that, there is no reason to buy the 360 version unless all you had was a 360. Most games follow suit and are released on PC and PS3 as well as 360, with the 360 in last place graphics wise and the 360 is also infamous for bad load times on many games, ruining the experience of a great game like Half-Life or Portal. Running With Scissors, the infamous Postal developer, also commented saying that the 360 version of their upcoming game, Postal 3, has the worst load times of the three platforms it is being released for.(1) Stupid 360…

More factory defects on ALL 360s have resulted in the next topic, disk scratching!!! Yes, that’s right folks, the 360 not only sucks, it chews too!!! Due to a factory error on ALL 360 disk drives the 360 when turned upright can cause the inner disk drive to become to close to the disk and physically abuse it, resulting in a big circular gouge right on the disk making it either unplayable or creating weird errors such as no sound and then the whole thing errors. Microsoft has yet to fix this error so don’t say, “Well I got a new 360 so I don’t care…bla, bla, bla…” Shut up.

The last thing I want to bash is fanboys. Fanboys are similar to Xbots in the way that they will defend their one measly system when most have never tried the competition. When reading forum and blog posts, the Xbots and Xbox fanboys outnumber all other fanboys and typically own a 360, hate the PS3 and have a Wii for its cuddliness. Well I own every system and I hate my 360 so much I may smash it with a crowbar before I can sell it. The 360 has NO advantage over anything and is the most unoriginal console EVER. Some Xbots will say, “The 360s graphics are sooooo cool. They are waaaaaaay (all Xbots unnecessarily stress vowels randomly) better than the PS3 or Wii’s.” Shut up Xbots, your mother plays a Wii. And all of these claims that the 360 has the best graphics are FALSE. Yes, it does have better graphics than the Wii because the Wii’s graphics were cut short to save money and make it cheaper for consumers. But no, it does NOT have better graphics than the PS3; the PS3 physically has a four times better graphics card and CPU than the 360, and twenty times better hardware then the Wii. Another mistake Xbots make is that they are hardcore gamers because they play First Person Shooters on Xbox-Live. This does NOT make a hardcore gamer. A hardcore gamer is someone who plays for the love of the game and the story of the game itself. A hardcore gamer is someone who watches every single cut scene and is afraid to blink and miss something. A hardcore gamer is someone who has and will play any and every genre of game from fighter to indie. A hardcore gamer is a hero…
