New 360 hardware failure "E74" …. LMAO!
-
Black i have a mac as well… without bootcamp
! (Although i think Windows 7 is kick ass)Anyway i had x360 for a bit over a year... then i sold it cause i needed money. Never had any problems with it, no rrod no errors no scratching dvds nothing. I can't complain about it.
Things i like about x360 -> voice chat regardless of game ur playing, ease of joining friends, mp3 player, party system. Btw. can u rent movies in europe already ? From this big service not from marketplace ? Forgot the name.....
Things i dislike about it -> microsoft points ! i mean WTF ! payment for online, microsoft crap everywhere, noise that it makes, halo... it was fucking boring... and maybe i could find something else...
Anyway there is one very very simple thing why x360 is still selling well and ps3 not. Marketing m$ has great team of salesman, they know how to do it, sony on the other hand doesnt. Look even with all those rrod and now this err and all this crap.. it's still doing good. I wish sony would get some new ideas on how to promote ps3 cause they will loose if they keep doing what they are doing which is almost nothing.

Also, Id just like to ask people where these sales numbers are coming from?
The ONLY play where the Xbox sells well is USA.
USA:
- Wii
- Xbox
- PS3
JAP:
- PS3 (1st place last 2 months, uesd to be 2nd)
- Wii
- Xbox (Always been last place in Japan except 2 months last year here it took 2nd.)
EU:
- Wii
- PS3 (PS3 is always 2nd Europe, only country its not is UK…)
- Xbox
We are surrounded by American media telling us that Xbox is the best here in UK because we Bum USA.
In the USA is rare that people have Ps3s because there media rams Microsoft down there throat, its a shame really.
oh and Japan wont like buying Cheap trash, Honur ect too
And your Warped sales numbers are also not taking into account that Xbox had a 1 year headstart, and yet its still being outsolf in Europe and Japan.

I'm so glad there are people who know what theyre talking about.
I despise people who overlook the major problems of the xbox and the sheer cheapness of it.
It's not like i'm saying "LOLZOR RROD HAHAHA!
I too owned an xbox,emphasis on the owned.
I was so pissed off that i was paying for internet gaming when i could get it for free.#I don't even need to justify why the ps3 is better because nathan and the others have done it.
It's a good job i take very few of this clans gaming oppinions seriously.
Otherwise i think the only game i'd own would be haze.

great salesmen and corprate junk does not make for good gameplay.
I don't sit here fapping over sales.
"5 million copies sold UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! money shot"The fact that sales for xbox and wii are more than the ps3 just proves my point.
human race are retarded and will buy anything cheap and theyll buy what their fri3nds have,who also like cheap things. -
I have an Xbox :$:$:$:$
but tbh, i don't play it much.. It does suck and i wish i never got it.. Rather play my ps3 [WHEN I ACTUALLY CAN AFFORD A NEW GAME] instead.
Sorry for being a noob and having an xbox
Its cool,its good to have varied gameplay.
You have some games i'd like to play like fable 2 and gow2.

More problems for microsoft this was on a gaming site, lol sounds like microsoft trying to get away without refunding for there cheap parts in there consoles.
don't get me wrong I like the xbox 360 but geez refund the people for your hardware problems.When Microsoft announced they were extending their warranty for Xbox 360s that received a E74 error, I was curious how different the code was from the red ring of death. Not very, it turns out.
I contacted the company earlier this week to find out what a E74 code meant and whether it was possibly just a rebranded red ring of death.
Here's what they told me:
Once a repair is made and a person gets their 360 back, does the clock reset for the extended warranty in regards to this error?
No. The same terms of the three-year warranty associated with three flashing red lights error apply.We reported in 2007 that Microsoft was reworking their 360s to no longer give the red rings to report certain errors because people were sometimes misconstruing them. Is that the case?
No, that is not accurate.Can a 360 still get a red ring error, aka the red ring of death?
Yes, the three flashing red lights error message can still be present on the console in the event of certain general hardware failures. We have made improvements to the console that will reduce the likelihood of an occurrence of this issue. The majority of customers who own Xbox 360 consoles have a terrific experience from their first day, and continue to, day in and day out.Is the e74 code a replacement for the red ring of death?
No. The E74 error message can indicate the general hardware failure that is associated with three flashing red lights error on the console. This issue remains relatively narrow in scope and a very small percentage of our customers have contacted us about this issue. Again, we have already made improvements to the console that will reduce the likelihood of an occurrence of this issue.But wait. What's with the contradiction? How can an E74 error message apply to the same hardware failures that are associated with a red ring if they're not the same?
"In some cases there is no difference. As we said, the E74 error message and three flashing red lights can in some cases indicate the same general hardware failure. However, it is not the same failure mode in all cases and there is no single root cause for these malfunctions."
So it sounds like there is an overlap between hardware issues that cause the E74 message and hardware issues that cause the red ring of death.

^ Basically meaning that… They have reprogrammed the 360's to not show ^
the 3 flashing red lights so that it is not in the media attention as much, and so that Microshaft don't have to pay out for this error... Which is the same as the RROD.Sneaky lil' #$%*&

Sales matter to people who make a living off of this shit.

i think it hade every oppertunity to be a good system. but they rushed it. they were more worried about being the first one. rather than the one with the best quality. however i guess they could just say screw u and not fix the problems with longer warranties. basically thier crappy work and rushing things in the begining is costing them now.
