Xbox 360 rant.

Written by Infamous on December 1, 2009
So this is my first blog post, and I'm here to rant about my xbox 360.

About 3 months ago, my xbox got the RROD, and it was a launch console. I'm amazed it lasted this long. Anyways, I didn't want to send it to stupid Microsoft for a month and a half before getting it back. So I opened it and in under an hour, I had replaced the heat pads, and voilà, my xbox was fixed. But of course, this ment my warrenty was voided. Anyways, I decided to mod my console at the same time.( for thoses who don't know what it modding an xbox does, well it simply enables it to play burned games which are downloaded off Internet and then burned onto double layered DVDs. This of course, is agaisnt the xbox live policy )

So for about 3 months , I downloaded all my games and I still played alongside my xbox live friends. That is , until modern warfare 2 , the ' biggest release of the year ' got leaked. So me and all my other friends that had modded consoles all downloaded it and we certainly had a blast for thoses 2 weeks. We got to play mw2 before anyone else( + 150000 people ).

Now about a week ago, I opened up my xbox to be greated by this message : You have been banned from Xbox Live[...] there is no way to appeal your ban [...] we may not reveal any information regarding your ban[...].
Shit

Thoses motherfuckers. I knew I had it coming, but I didn't expect it to be so early. Then I looked over at my computer, and I decided to give PC gaming a try, and oh boy did I not regret it. I went out and bought Modern Warfare 2 for PC and I hooked up with many friends that I knew played mostly on PC. I found every part of it better than on consoles. ( mostly because my computer out-performs my xbox ).

Since then I've been buying my games from steam when there are sales( I just bought about 15 games for 49.99 because of the holiday sale on Sunday ) and I don't regret a thing. The xbox is pure shit when I take a look back at it.

If anyone is interested at playing on steam with me, add me : Mickthedude.

My name is not Mick btw, that account is my brothers that I took control of :P

PC rocks PS360 when it comes to shooters. Wii is the only thing that can come close to PC, and even it's clearly not a good. Of course, I'm talking purely about controls here. Mouse'n'Keyboard are my lovers.

A gamer who doesn't love a good gaming mouse isn't a gamer.

PC ftw.

:D

I love how all of you generalize based on your own beliefs. Merovign, I'll beat your ass on a console, and that's the exact thing you would probably say.

Mod ban: Microsoft should have done this a long time ago, so nobody would ban in the first place. Their fault for implementing so late. Your fault for modding. You can't complain for going against terms of use.

EDIT: One way to prevent RRoD, even with the original chip, is to put the Xbox 360 on its side. More surface area = more cooling. You don't see people who point their consoles up like a tower complaining about RRoD.

I prefer console gaming

PC is obviously better as far as controls go, but many PC Gamers fail to realize that console controls aren't so horrendous if they're what you mainly play and if you are playing a game that isnt cross-console/PC or whatever that everyone is still on equal footing anyway so it still a matter of who's better at the game, just with a less efficient cnotrol set

Chill Lith, people need incentive to join. Unlike others, he's actually blogging and commenting.

But it's a matter of who's better at an inferior control scheme. Really seems kind of pointless, doesn't it? I was about to make an analogy about women's basketball, but I realized I'd be flamed out VuTales for it.

I could probably play against a mouse-user on a controller with no problems except probably turning around (low sensitivity) or sniping (high sensitivity). I might also have problems aiming while meleeing and jumping, but hey, that's what Bumper Jumper is for.

lol

The control scheme is inferior only technically

being more precise doesn't make as big a difference when everyone else is more precise too, the difference comes down to preference
