just MS way of fixing the 4-6 repair wait

They just figure that people that are told they will have to wait for 4-6 weeks to get their repaired unit back from the red ring of death (im now on unit #6) will just go buy this arcade unit and move on, giving more profits.

Are you kidding?

So you're saying you think people will spend close to $300 because <br />they can't wait 4-6 weeks to play video games? LOL. If that's the <br />case for anyone they really need to get a life. They need to roll their <br />presumably overweight self OFF of the couch and go spend some <br />time in the real world.

Almost as much as posting in a story about it !!!

That is almost as bad as wasting your time complaining about those people by posting thoughts about it. Why don't you take your a@@ out of your computer chair and go out in the real world like you seem to want everyone else to do. Oh wait, you want us to do as you say, not as you do. Gotcha, later.
