Four pages of nonsense, enjoy.
Blah, blah, blah. The system's still defective, you're still a piece of shit, your customers are still good at taking shit, and so on and so forth.
...BIZ: It's a bit ironic, because when MS first got into the console business, critics laughed because MS is a software company at its core. It's not in the business of creating hardware. Now the company has discovered some faulty design in its 360 hardware, seemingly proving the critics right. What do you say to those critics?
PM: Those critics need to do their homework and look at some of the hardware product failures that this industry has seen in the past 30 years that maybe have not got as much publicity...
Here's a history lesson for you; I bought and Xbox in 2001, IT STILL WORKS TODAY. No one will say the same about the 360, it's disposable.
The 360 is ass-backwards, it lacks a standard HDD, it's unreliable, it's cheaply made and no matter how much duct tape and patches are thrown at it, it's still garbage. What good are games if the system breaks so much that you can't even play them?
When the 360 fails, you know who to blame. Microsoft and Microsoft alone are at fault for all the faults within the system, truly the most brilliant minds in the world are the ones who lack the most common sense. The PS3 is reliable and customers won't keep taking shit forever and will pay the little bit extra for the convenience of not having to going a MONTH without their system WHEN it breaks down again.
MS is just lucky that their customers are braindead tools and the June 07 NPD sales just solidify that:

Six Reasons The Xbox 360 Is in Trouble
GamePro states the obvious.
The number one reason is:
1. It's unreliable. As Microsoft finally acknowledged this month, Xbox 360s fail more often than the company "is comfortable with." Some reports pin the "Red Ring of Death" failure rates as high as 33%. As a result, Microsoft increased the system's warranty from one to three years at a sizable and appreciated expense, but the company's unwillingness to fully disclose what's causing the problem undermines the solution. Gamers don't want to risk $300-400 at the chance to play games on 360, they want to make sure it can and will play games for years to come. Pile on the recent class-action lawsuits claiming that the machine scratches discs at random, and it becomes clear that the Xbox 360 isn't nearly as dependable as it could be.
If only 360 owners had more brains than money, something might actually get done instead of buying fucking pictures on Live and defending a defective product.

Class Action Lawsuit Launched Against 360
A lawsuit regarding another issue, disc scratching has been launched
One of the many issues regarding the 360; disc scratching is fairly prevalent, although not as seemingly widespread as the infamous red rings.
According to numerous reports I've read on Xbox-Scene, this is caused because some felt was not applied to the inside of the tray itself. The felt would have allowed a cushion for the disc as well as elevating it in order to prevent scratches. This is some felt that's a fraction of cent to mass produce and would have easily prevented all this.
*sigh* Come on MS, this is just sad. The Xbox I knew and loved is long gone, as are Ed Fries and Seamus Blackley, among others. It's a shame to see the Xbox name tarnished for no reason other than one of the richest companies in the world being cheapskates.

Why the 360 failed (I could've told you that)
The 360 failed because it's cheap, no shit Sherlock
"Asian Xbox 360 manufacturers are blaming poor console design, cheap components and a lack of testing coupled with a manic obsession by Microsoft to beat Sony as the reasons for the Xbox 360 "Red Ring Of Death" problems."
Wow, a system rushed out of the gate in 2005 with a tard pack, cheap components, $6 manufacturing cost, a jet engine inside it and cheap plastic on the outside isn't the best piece of hardware out there? I'm not surprised. The Xbox was a surprisingly stable piece of hardware last-gen, but then again, they had a lot to prove. The people in charge of the first Xbox were a lot smarter and more idealistic. They didn't want it to be like the PS2, something that kept breaking down and was unreliable.
So when MS wanted to try and win this generation, they copied the PS2 to a T. I guess they missed the memo where it said they shouldn't have copied the shitty hardware. Oh well, let MS do what they always do, ignore, deny and patch, patch, patch!

3 year warranty for 3 red rings doesn't make 360 more reliable
Well, the 360's been out for almost two years. It's unreliable, loud, clunky and cheaply made. Y'know, things break still applies just as much now as it did in 2005. So what does MS do? Well, they're patching hardware by adding a new GPU heatsink and extended the warranty! You can smell that pungent aroma from a looming class-action lawsuit permeating the internet...
That's right, because 360's are continuing to break down and MS is overwhelmed with dead systems, they're extending the warranty. The warranty which used to be 90 days, which was extended to 1 year, has now been extended to 3 years. So at least you're covered when the system breaks again.
Now, this sounds fine and all, but there's still the whole process of sending a dead system and receiving a working system. Today, I just got my system back, 31 days after I had sent it in! So if you don't mind waiting a month with no system, while you wait for MS to repair it, then you're golden.

"To our Xbox Community:
You've spoken, and we’ve heard you. Good service and a good customer experience are areas of the business that we care deeply about. And frankly, we've not been doing a good enough job.
Some of you have expressed frustration with the customer experiences you have had with Xbox 360; frustration with having to return your console for service after receiving the general hardware error message on the console.
The majority of customers who own Xbox 360 consoles have had a terrific experience from their first day, and continue to, day in and day out. But when anyone questions the reliability of our product, or our commitment to our customers, it's something I take very seriously.
We have been following this issue closely, and with on-going testing have identified several factors that can cause a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights on the console. To address this issue, and as part of our ongoing work, we have already made certain improvements to the console.
We are also implementing some important policy changes intended to keep you in the game, worry-free.
As of today, all Xbox 360 consoles are covered by an enhanced warranty program to address specifically the general hardware failures indicated by the three flashing red lights on the console. This applies to new and previously-sold consoles. While we will still have a general one year console warranty (two years in some countries), we are announcing today a three-year warranty that covers any console that displays a three flashing red lights error message. If a customer has an issue indicated by the three flashing red lights, Microsoft will repair the console free of charge—including shipping—for three years from the console’s purchase date. We will also retroactively reimburse any of you who paid for repairs related to problems indicated by this error message in the past. In doing so, Microsoft stands behind its products and takes responsibility to ensure that every Xbox 360 console owner continues to have a fantastic gaming experience.
If we have let any of you down in the experience you have had with your Xbox 360, we sincerely apologize. We are taking responsibility and are making these changes to ensure that every Xbox 360 owner continues to have a great experience.
This will take a few days to roll out globally, and I appreciate your continued patience as we launch this program. I've posted an FAQ that should address some additional questions, and we'll update it over the next few days.
I want to thank you, on behalf of all us at Microsoft, for your loyalty."
Stop apologizing and get off your ass and make a system that doesn't break. There will be no magic Peter Moore pixie fairies fixing all the 360s in the world, the system is unchanged... A 3-year warranty is really just a band-aid, albeit a large one. Is just wanting to play games too much to ask? The system is not any more reliable than it was, the 2nd GPU heatsink is a 'hardware patch' and the 3 red rings will be the final boss of Halo 3.

There Is No Issue With 360s, We Swear!
If we ignore it, maybe the complaints will go away!
Haha. Oh godddamn MS, you just don't learn do you? The Xbox was started in 2001, the internet generation. The 360 is an always-online console (when it's not broken) and the users (the vocal part especially) represent that. They are online fanatics, moreso than Nintendo and Sony, that's for sure. To piss them off is not smart and I can't wait until this blows up in Microsoft's face. For being this stupid and arrogant, they deserve everything that's coming to them.
You say you've treated the customer right, which is like saying you lubed up the cactus before shoving it in, you're still fucking them and it still hurts! How could one of the richest and most powerful companies in the world be so fucking asinine? I swear to every deity in existence that I could run the Xbox division better than the marsupials they have in charge now. It's just one bad decision after another, I mean fuck, it's like they WANT to fail.
Ignoring and denying the problem doesn't make it go away. It makes respect for your competitors go up, it makes faith in Xbox go down and worst of all, it pisses off your customers.

System Overload!
Whoa, big shocker. Piece of shit console is a piece of shit. News at 11!
30 a week, what the flying fuck?! It's been almost 2 years since the system launches and there has yet to be a giant fucking class action lawsuit? MS didn't reply because they're too busy counting money and sending out coffins for dead systems, duh. I digress, this is just too much of a pain in the ass for everyone; gamers, retailers, repairmen, customer service reps, UPS drivers, box-makers. MS is making everyone work overtime and no one can even enjoy games anymore.

Thousands of 360s dying daily
1500-2500 dead 360s PER DAY!?
Microsoft’s UK repair centre in Havant is now redistributing faulty consoles to foreign repair centres in order to clear an overwhelming backlog and keep up with the 1,500 to 2,500 Xbox 360s arriving at its doors on a daily basis, according to customer reports.
I tried searching for words, but there are none. Absolutely none.

Lucky Number 12
11 dead systems, there are no words.
I applaud his patience. Unfortunately for MS, not all 360 owners are going to be this patient. By not acting now, they are only continuing to shoot themselves in the foot and further tarnish the Xbox brand name.
At least he has a PS3, so he's got something to play while he waits for his 360 to come back from repairs time and time again. What a joke of a system MS delivered and it's nobody's fault, but theirs when they lose the console war. Damn shame, because there's so much potential. The tard pack was the first sign that all was not right in the land of Xbox 360 and it's only been downhill from there, cheap bastards.
