Steps to a Successful 360 Redesign

In order for the Xbox 360 to lose its negative hardware image, a successful hardware redesign in the same vein as the PS2 slim is required. Discussed are the steps Microsoft needs to accomplish in order to create a better console.

Just release the Xbox 720 next year.

[jinn]

there r 360 steps Bill Gates wants us to figure out

[ThaGeNeCySt]

steps to a successful 360 redesign? friggin RECALL and re-design the console, i'm tired of this.

[trancefreak]

I think the lemon law should also be introduced for this work of wonder

[power of Green]

Already working on it, let MSFT deal with it we don't need PS3 fanatics digging up every two bit media losers opinions.

[trancefreak]

oh yes we do and im finally glad its come to this. I hadmore letdowns than game time.

[mikeslemonade]

It's time for them to make a next generation console. If the faulty hardware was fixable in a cost efficient manner then it would already have been fixed already because it has already been 28 months.

[avacadosnorkel]

nobody cares the hardware is faulty. Look at the sales numbers in the US.

[HarryEtTubMan]

lmao so many RROD pics. 360 is a bomb.

[IntelligentAj]

Yeah. If people really cared that much about some of the systems being faulty they wouldn't be selling as well as they are.

[power of Green]

RROD sucks.

[Mr Tretton]

haha, someone disagreed with you. They like RROD!

[XBOX 360]

Successful and I had a divorce. :(

[Skynetone]

thats why the heat brick is out side the concole {im presuming its a transformer,haven't seen one}

what they sould have done was to make a larger pc case type of concole at the start and in the future reduce this down to a more reasonable size

do people really care what it looks like as long as it works

[akaFullMetal]

yea that would help with their bad hardware image, and have an actual microsoft rep say it has a 1% defect rate.

[Mr Tretton]

maybe they should shape it like a PS3. haha, then it might work!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAAHHAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaAHh hhhAHAHAA

[bootsielon]

I laugh at those that only own and only want a 360

[v1c1ous]

how you are in the gamer zone and not permastuck in open zone

"Unlike the original Xbox, the 360 is more suitable to a hardware redesign. The original Xbox was basically a PC crammed into a large (for a console) black plastic box with a green X plastered across the top. In order for a hardware change of the original Xbox, not just one but multiple components would have been required to go through the research and development process in order to acquire a redesign." -LOLOL

I had to copy and paste that entire paragraph because it's a real gem. The writer is probably in junior high, and isn't even aware enough of how little he knows to be self-conscious about making such ill-informed statements in public. To be fair, this article is better written than a C-minus composition for a high school English class, albeit just slightly. Hence, we can't fault the author for writing at a rudimentary level of proficiency and analysis that is appropriate for his age. However, what excuse is there for the fact that his puerile brainfart actually made it through submission and approval process on this site? Posting and linking to junk like this is akin to passing patently bogus money in that it means you yourself have been scammed or you are trying to scam others. In either case, you'll come out looking careless or dumb, or both.

Don't you think you're being a little rough on the author. Seems to me he's "trying" to be a slightly satirical about how the original xbox was developed. Reading your comment makes you come off as someone trying a little bit too hard to appear intelligent. You probably wrote that comment then used a thesaurus to change a few words into something appearing more intelligent.

[Gina-get-u]

Oh? Which words sounded too big for you? Let me guess. It can't be "analysis." People here use that word all the time because of names like Pachter and Divinich. It's got to be "proficiency" and "rudimentary." Only smart and intelligent people use words like those, right?

I think the word you were grasping for but just couldn't find to describe me was "pretentious." That's really what you wanted to say right? Instead of saying someone is "trying a little bit too hard to appear intelligent," call him "pretentious." Try it. It's shorter and easier. And it stings a bit more. Using the correct words is not pretentious. It's just efficient.

Also, don't use the word "satirical" if you don't know what it means. That article, it wasn't satirical. I think the adjective you were looking for was "stupid." Read the paragraph I quoted. It was not "satirical."

[Broken Nails]

I could have said "pretentious" but you wouldn't know why I said you were being pretentious. So let me rephrase what I said then, you do not come off as being pretentious, but appears desperate in your need to seem intelligent. You remind me of recent university grads writing their first article for a well established journal, their articles are always convoluted and distinguishable in comparison to their experienced peers.

Did you read my post? What part did I say there were words that were too big for me. All I said is it is obvious you are trying to appear intelligent. I could understand if you were writing some published article or even a paper for university or grad school, but isn't it easier on a message board, where no one is grading you on spelling, grammer or sentence structure to use words like "basic" instead of "rudimentary".

[Gina-get-u]

Nobody will believe you read scholarly articles. Not after reading what you wrote here. I don't. You wouldn't recognize a real academic if you engaged one in a written argument on-line.

While you may not have stated it explicitly, you are in fact fazed by multi-syllabic words. It's plain from your reaction that they aren't part of your usual vocabulary. This may come as a shock to you, but there are circles where words like "rudimentary" aren't reserved for formal speeches or monographs.

And good writing reflects good thinking. It's not something you switch off just because you aren't being graded. Or is it such a resource hog for you that you have to reserve it for special occasions only? Then be aware that it takes as much effort for me to dumb down my language as you seem to require to "sound intelligent."

BTW, the word "rudimenstary" carries a more derisive connotation than "basic," and that is precisely what I meant to convey.

I think someone has some anger issues and something to prove.

[Kaz Hirai]

Throw it in the TRASH!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

[not impressed1]

loose the RROD, make the console smaller, shut it up, and remove the cinder block
