17. The game does have problems. Mine would freeze-up a lot until it finally fried my Xbox 360 and required a trip to Microsofts's repair shop.

18. Eh #4 you're an idiot, nuff said! The 3 Year warranty is only for "Red Light Issues" not for anything else, only the regular warranty of 1 year would be applicable!!

20. Hey, it's a Microsoft product. They get a hold of your processor and they squeeze the heck out of it until it crashes.

Microsoft's Flight Simulator for PC is even worse. I have 4 times their recommended configuration and it crashed and damaged the MFT Table.

If it's from Microsoft, you have to expect problems because they rush out products before they really are properly tested.

22. Microsoft goes for features not for workability. They did this to the MSN gaming zone. They allowed a subcontractor to abuse people at will. they carred only about keeping the contract this contractor not keeping things functional.
Now the site is like how the contractor wants it ....single player no chatroom sites.

23. I've had Halo 3 since it came out and I've never had any problems with it. No one I've talked to has.

24. I'm a gamer and do not have a 360. However, if I did and had played Halo 3 and it crashed, I would have returned the game instead of suing M.S for it. I wonder if Jack Thompson is rejoicing in this lawsuit.

25. Played the game without one problem, must be the gamers doing something wrong.

26. Wow, what a bunch of ignorant people to assume only nerds play video games. I live in a frat house at the Rhodes College of TN and we play it almost every night and even have some sorority girls that like to play it with us. Wake up you ignorant, uneducated jackasses.

27. The person who filed the lawsuit is smart enough to know that it was Halo3 and only Halo3 that damaged his 360 enough so that it specifically caused the red rings of death... but was too stupid to figure out that a $19 accessory ( cooling fan ) would prevent it? What's the world coming to? I'll bet he forgot to Read the Manual (RTM) about ensuring adequate ventilation for his equipment in the first place. It's almost too bad that M$ is gonna get stiffed by this idiot. I wonder if he's also sued McDonalds for serving their hot coffee too hot? What a dumbass! I have an older 360; I have a cooling fan; I played Halo3 almost non-stop the first weekend it was out in both single and multiplayer mode (had to finish the single player storyline!!!) - sorry, no Red Rings of Death on mine - does that mean it won't ever happen? maybe, maybe not, but even if it does I know that M$ will fix it free of charge (and the games kick PS3 square in the shorts). That guy just has way too much time on his hands and a bad attitude - I hope M$ finds a way to countersue.

29. I'm not surprised, the Xbox 360 is a hunk of junk. We're awaiting our THIRD replacement, which will stop working like the others. Plus, all the money I've spent for online play, never have a damn game station to play at all. And, no, we don't play all day long. In fact, I haven't even played one game yet. If you're wanting to get one, tear your money up instead and avoid the endless b.s.

30. Cooling fans will void the warranty, and they can tell if you've used one. Also, they don't allow the heat to escape, but rather blow it back inside. I don't recommend them at all.
