C’mon. There are a few more factors affecting user-retention than Halo 3.

I must be one of the lucky ones my launch 360 is still kicking with no problems…

On a side note I have no interest in halo 3.

I’ve heard about all the upcoming promotions for Halo 3, and any passing interest I had in the game is now gone.
‘Gamer Fuel?’
‘Burger King?’

Microsoft, it’s a video game, not a childrens movie. 6-7 year old kids don’t need Master Chief action figures. The game is inappropriate for small children. But alas, my cries fall on deaf ears for this is neither the forum nor time for such a rant.
I’m still waiting for an improved design Xbox, to buy one. Although the three year warranty is interesting, I pride myself on having functional hardware.

so, your saying that xbox fanboys are delusional and cant see truth in front of them? kinda reminds me of certain religious cults that just close all doors in their brain when you tell them that what they believe in is false, lol maybe all xbots are republicans?

The Xbox isn’t failing seeing as its the cheapest 3rd generation console with HD. It also is selling much better than the PS3. I do think that the failure rate is quite high but I’ve heard its the fact that they don’t use the right cooling paste. I don’t own any 3rd gen consoles because they are too expensive. PC Gaming RULES!

@jaime: Unfortunately, Microsoft is staying with their tried and true formula of “Feed the consoles, and starve the PC.” There is no sign of Halo 3 in the near future for PC, and if anyone needs proof of how Microsoft feels about PC gamers, I give you their flagship title for the Games for Windows system…..Halo 2?!?!?!?

Yes folks, that’s right. You too can pay $50 to play a game that launched in the fall of 2004. Not only that, but you too can spend hundreds of your hard-earned dollars on an operating system that , well, isn’t all that great.

Maybe some day in the future Microsoft will remember that PC gamers are a viable market, but until then, prepare to see Halo 3 released for Vista 2010 at full retail price.

This goes to show you why the pet rock was so popular. I need to come up with something for you drones to buy and make millions off a crappy product and provide crappy customer service. That’s my ticket to the American dream.
