MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

suck my ass microsoft !!

One of the ELEMENTS of the Xbox 360 must be Vista as the OS...that would explain the BSODs!

Despite the Sony CD issue, I'm waiting on the PS3. I won't be purchasing any Microsoft products ever again.

Isn't this a "feature" ? I'm pretty sure it's standard across a broad range of Microsoft's products, so it must be a feature.

remind me again why an article like this is found at a Mac site? Oh yeah, you guys are almost as obsessed with MS as you are with Apple.

LOL I can't stop laughing...

hmmm, thanks for coming!












Now, fsck off!

my original xbox, purchased two years ago, quit working after about 2 weeks of use. customer service was ridiculous and would not excahnge the machine. last microsoft product i purchased or will purchase. a week or 2 ago i got a new power cord from ms with a letter saying that some power cords are defective and the defect might damage the machine. thanks. f*** microsoft.

Is their a CTRL+ALT+DEL equivalent on the remotes?

We know for sure now that it has the B.S.O.D. (Black Screen of Death) feature at least...

## NEWS FLASH ##

Microsoft Spokesman just announced......

'You can rip it out of your wall, take it outside and douse it in petrol, and light it up. this will ensure that it does not freeze.'

Mine has so far been crashing a lot when I try and play Microsoft's own "Sheep Herder®" game.

You know, the new title where a giant Ballmer goes from country to country while sweating and herding all the Windows® users into ATM queues. So they can withdraw more of their money and hand it over to Redmond.

What a gyp. I really wanted to be a sheep in that game. Hey, wait- I AM a sheep. I mean, I just realized: I bought this stupid XBOX the day it came out, after all. Yay, me!

BAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! BAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I can see it now:

"I paid $2300 for an xBox 360 on eBay and I can't complete the first lap of Gotham without the darn thing crashing."

## 2ND NEWS FLASH ##

Do not piss on burning X-box.....they dont deserve it.

With all this going on, can you fricking IMAGINE what would happen if Apple were ever to produce a game system of their own??

I know, I know -- why would they get into THAT market?

I'm just saying: The goddamn thing would actually WORK!!!!!

I loved the eBay prices today. Seeing XBOXes going for upwards of ten thousand dollars a piece had me rolling in the aisles. Now, I see they're commanding a more respectable grand or so.

What's the matter with these people? Can't they wait a couple of weeks???

http://cgi.ebay.com/Microsoft-Xbox-360-Game-console_W0QQitemZ8236300095QQcategoryZ62054QQtcZphotoQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

just get a nintendo revolution next Fall.

I don't think that there are any decent games out for the 360 yet. maybe gears of war, elderscrolls oblivion, or mass effect will be worth playing sometime in the future.

It's from Microsoft, right? What do people expect? Wait till it gets a virus!!!

Sheeple -- Does Ballmer wear a bonnet like Little Bo Peep in that game?

....and this is a suprise to people because....?

Game systems should not crash!!! In all my years of gaming on consoles I've NEVER had one crash on me, but then again I never owned an XBOX.

"I'd like to personally thank all of the devoted fans who've made the plunge and bought the exciting new Microsoft X-Box". SUCKERS!

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh that's a good one. SUCKERS SUCKERS SUCKERS ha ha ha ha ha Can you believe they're buying these pieces of shit SUCKERS SUCKERS SUCKERS You would have thought they'd learned from Windows ha ha ha ha ha ha ha What a bunch of maroons!

MW: early (early adopters work the bugs out SUCKERS SUCKERS)

I can't wait to upgrade my current XBox with the new PS3.

Just another reason you don't buy new consoles right off. Often good to wait a couple extra months for the bugs to be worked out, though in Microsoft's case you may be waiting indefinitely.

xbox 360 is a good product guys. Manufacturing defects aside, this is a fine next gen product.

i am going to get all 3 systems tho.

go games!

Well this is the company who bought you "Windows" (I fail to comprehend why this Xbox Company is named after the bosses penis, thats doomed from the start)

My coworker bought the x-box and everygame, we can only play for 2 minutes before the whole system crashes!

I havent been here for awhile, Looks like you've takin the BS to a whole new level, so you can get those extra hits from your, uh like, 25 readers..But way to go...My 360 works just fine:) When It crashes, ill eat my words..but so far so good.

I wear green tights and swing through sherwood forest with my hairy chest

Well, you gotta give one thing to the guys at Microsoft who engineer all their products...at least they're consistent.

MDN MW "given". As in, "Microsoft products crashing is a given."

Oh yeah, one more thing..Its funny how No One else on the web is reporting this issue...Typical MDN, blind journalism (?LOL?) at its best. You fags would do anything, anything at all to kill the credibility of a worthy product...Instead, lets go buy apples console. Wait a minute. THEY DONT HAVE ONE!!!!...But MS must have copied Apples idea of a console...You know, underpowered, overpriced, overhyped, and overdesigned.

Change your domain to a more suitable name...Like....Microsoft Daily News....

oh the irony

next gen starts here people
lmao

Oh dear, perhaps it's that 3.2GHz PowerPC processor overheating.

Which would explain a lot.

Sorry, When I said journalism, I meant Plagiarism.

You guys must be (mw) BRITISH

How often does it crash? if as often as .Mac sync then it is really bad.

It's the same shit as the guy with the nano scratches. One person starts spamming Microsoft and dummies follow.

soon microsoft will sell a crash-prevention package as an add-on.

suck our balls bill and monkeyboy

WOW MDN,

MDN didn't make this up - Xbox users, Engadget, and The Register did the reports. That's what the quotes and links are for in MDN's article.

WOW Mdn, if you don't like the site don't read it, otherwise have a nice day fighting viruses and so forth while I get real work done on my mac. and yes the XBOX 360 has awesome specs. However the manufacturer who put it out is crap. As people have already mentioned the fiasco with the original XBOX. This is what M$ gets for pushing a product out just to make christmas. I plan on waiting in line for the PS3 which by the way kicks the living piss out of everyones overhyped XBOX 360. Sorry you poor crash victims, I hope you can get a return and save your money for the underpriced PS3.

FactChecker, Maybe MDN should make sure that the news that they are copying from other sites is real. That would releave some of the mis-conseptions about their crappy reporting...Do you believe everything you read on the web? Im going to assume you do, just becasue you are an MicrosoftDailynews.com reader..Dont worry, I wont be back. This "News" site isnt even a spec, in the underpants of W3.

Modified version of Windows NT for PPC

Yes, a version of Windows NT used to be made for PPC.

"Windows NT 3.1 ran on Intel IA-32 x86, DEC Alpha, and MIPS R4000 processors. Windows NT 3.51 added support for PowerPC processors. Intergraph Corporation ported Windows NT to its Clipper architecture and later SPARC, but neither version was sold to the public. Windows NT 4.0 was the last major release to support Alpha, MIPS, or PowerPC, though development of Windows 2000 for Alpha continued until 1999, when Compaq stopped support for Windows NT on that architecture. Only 2 of the Windows NT 4.0 variants (IA-32 and Alpha) have a full set of service packs available. All of the other ports done by 3rd parties (Motorola, Intergraph, etc.) have few, if any, publically available updates."

Hey, WOW MDN, did you notice that MDN quoted an article from another website, so yes, it's somewhere else on the web, and no, it's not plagiarism. It's also from an xbox fansite, no less.

If you're gonna be a troll, you need to learn to write like one. Next time, try something like, "Mac sux, windoz rulz!!! U guyz can all f$&* off and eat my s!@&!" Now, doesn't that have a nice ring to it?

MW: duhhhhh...

For: WOW MDN

Eat your words sucker.

How about Microsoft's site? Would you believe theirs?

They have multiple support articles on 360 crashing/freezing issues. one was written as early as Oct 25th, so they definitely already knew of the problem.

Do u just cut and paste that "get out of this site" mantra each time u see a post u disagree with?

It is obvious that that WOW guy just wanted to draw your attention to the fact celebrating someone's failure is a not a good character trait.

I would even add to that that that type of behavior is typical to someone who is not confident in his/er own power. I assume that the Apple's market share worries u subconsciously. I would agree that until it remains as tiny as it is there is good a fair reason for any Mac fan to be worried but that does not justify celebrations of other's failures (at least in the area where Apple is not competing with Microsoft); I hate to say that but u seem to have lost the sense of reality here - if MS is that bad why Apple still can not beat it?

WOW MDN <---- here we have another prime example of the closed minded, inferior obsessed, wishing for a bigger ****, LEMMING that is the true KoolAid drinker that MicroSuck makes its living from.

You could do nothing more original than try to bash upon something original by claiming obscurity?

Which makes me wonder, how did you come to this site in the first place? Did your Xcox crash already and you were trying to find a solution so that you would not have to send it back. Thusly loosing a bet you placed with your Playstation friends in the fact that all MicroSuck products will crash at least once in the first week of operation?

Not only does MS make software that will crash YOUR computer, they make hardware that will screw up other computers as well.

Sure seems like a bit more significant that 'scratched' screen.
Let the lawsuits begin!

This is all just FUD. Oh wait, only Apple is the victim of FUD.
