We obviously only post news relating to Sony consoles on this site, however, I noticed an interesting story today so I thought I'd post on here.
Apparently XBOX 360 owners are miffed with Microsoft.
The uk tv programme, Watchdog, has received 248 complaints from disgrundled XBOX 360 owners whos consoles have shown the dreaded 'ring of death'; the three led lights that show up when there is a serious hardware fault with the console.
Apparently, the reason for the conplaints is that this so called 'ring of death' has been happening to owners whos 1 year manufacturers warranty has only just run out.
Although no Microsoft representative appeared on the show, MS
did release the following statement, "Most people who have an Xbox 360 have an outstanding experience and there's no common fault. Each incident is unique, and looked at on a case by case basis."
Just goes to show two things:
- First of all, always get an extended warranty if the store you bought from provides them, and
- Get a PS3 instead. Sony's consoles at least last two or three years before they start going wrong
