Europe investigates Microsoft Xbox 360 scratching disk problem

The Inquirer

OUR DUTCH is not good. Forgive us. The Bulgarian lass is complaining about scratched DVDs. We dunno whether the HDDs are any good. But in any case the Vole has to come up with an answer in one week. Flat.
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSIONER for Consumers has asked Microsoft to explain why Xbox 360s have so many faulty hard drives.

There are, apparently, 1,000 complaints from The Netherlands alone. She wants and expects Microsoft to respond to worldwide complaints about the problem

obviously i dont know when you brought each model, but i brought my Xbox 360 on the ... i think 21st October. and to this day i havnt had this problem, i havnt had it die on me (red rings)

JsonHenry6166d ago

The EU will do everything they can in order to bankrupt an American company, especially one as large as Microsoft.

They don't seem to have the right frame of mind, which is - "Make a better product!!!" - not try to financially destroy a company.

Out of the 3 people I know that have a 360, they have had no problems with theirs. I've never had a problem with my launch box either.

dbug3606167d ago

If Microsoft wasn’t so rich they would have been kick out of the video game industry a long time ago, this and the red ring of death is not good enough! If you buy there products your nothing more than beta testers

Lex Luthor6167d ago

The very same thing could have been said about the Playstation 2, it reached a point where sony ended up getting sued.

i believe she is referring to scratched disks but incorrectly said HDD. the inq's article title and the first paragraph suggest that anyway.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC9h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer10h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya7h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde7h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx7h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro14h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B12h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff218312h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh12h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia12h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins12h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal11h ago

The first game was the best imo.
