My 360 Hates me… A Remix

Towel.jpg Anyone who was on the site yesterday will know that a personal PS3 rant from Gareth landed up causing quite an explosion within the PS3 community, from our own comments section to local forums. We did not anticipate the response but found it interesting to say the least and had some people questioning if we would ever do one for the Xbox 360 as well.... One of our readers redirected us to a thread about our article that had been started on the PS3za.co.za forums and in it, I found an absolute gem of a post by one who goes by the name of Valente. What it is, is a "remix" of the article but this time, modified for the Xbox 360 instead of the PS3 and with quite a comedic twist to it as well. I had a really good laugh reading through, as will you and the towel comment is absolutely priceless although he does also speak many truths as well.

...The console is not even HD ready out the box and that’s right, I forgot to buy an HDMI cable.... No controller charger, why not just throw in a cheap one with some 360 branding and Wi-Fi, that would be nice too.> So after my trip back to the store to pick up a Controller charger, a towel and a Wi-fi adapter I was now ready for online gaming - well, not really. At this point i would just like to note that in the box of a PS3 system, you get a Mini-USB cable, Wi-fi and a Blu-ray player. But that aside I finally get to plug the 360 in, gaming goodness couldn’t be far away now… But it was.... With that finally done and another 10 minutes or so to set up my profile, to my shock and horror, I noticed that I actually needed to pay to go online.... While it was updating, I went to the store and got me some Earmuffs to drown out the sound of the 360's Jet engine.... Too bad then that After 3 hours worth of cables, fire extinguishers, updates, Live, scratched disc's and whatever I really didn’t feel like it anymore.... I thought the updates were necessary because the “glitches” in Fable 2 was not great, but Gears runs fine (well the online doesn't), and it doesn’t need an update? The sad ending to all of this is that Christmas is coming and a lot of people may be receiving 360's for gifts, I just think it really sucks and borders on unacceptable that all the stuff needed to enjoy your 360 could be ruined by the infamous RROD."... Not that it matters, the Wii has sold a gajillion units and will probably continue to do so even if news spread that it was killing small animals.

An industry for itself, created by itself… trying to be someone else

By PillsburyDeeBoy In recent memory, games like Grand Theft Auto and Halo have assisted console gaming by becoming front and center in the public’s eye and shaking up entertainment as a whole. Halo was accused of stealing Ben Stiller’s thunder, and, likewise, there were fears that Iron Man may under perform due to Grand Theft Auto’s imposing presence. Grand Theft …
