The Xbox-a US$ 400 Piece of C**P?

What's the point of releasing an update if you're going to fix it anyway? As you know, Microsoft "tried" to update the Xbox dashboard. They tried to implement 1080p support and other stuff. Maybe they should have left it be.

Anyway, a significant
part of the Xbox 360 owners did not experience any problems with their games console and managed to successfully connect to their online service. But some others were not so lucky. Imagine paying US$ 400 for something that turns into a piece of c**p. That is how some Xbox owners felt like.

According to some, this Xbox crash was a signal from Microsoft to Xbox modders, preventing them not to tamper with their hardware anymore. An article on GameSpot reads an official statement of Microsoft saying that they are working round-the-clock to fix any problems. The statement also reads that there is a permanent collaboration between Microsoft and those affected by the problems. Looks like Microsoft is committed to resolve any issue.

They plan to have any problem resolved in the next 12 to 24 hours, and they ask any Xbox 360 owners who have encountered such problems to call 1-800-4-MY-XBOX, reveals gaming website GameStop.

A. Microsoft should concentrate on delivering better products, not targeting groups that aren't doing any damage, despite their claims to the contrary.
B. Why would they unleash a "fix" without properly testing it? (Or an operating system for that matter, but that's another topic. Vista SUCKS! Sorry, it slipped out.)
C. Why would you run an update, from MICROSOFT, before hearing whether it's going to break your machine? It's MICROSOFT! Don't you people read? Oh yeah. Well, what, do you live in a cave or something?
