When the Shit Hits the Fan...
"[Microsoft] was so focused on beating Sony this cycle that the 360 was rushed to market when all indications were that it had serious flaws. The design qual testing was insufficient and incomplete when the product was released to production. The manufacturing test equipment had major gaps in test coverage and wasn't reliable or repeatable. Manufacturing processes at eall levels of suppliers were immature and not in control." (Seattle Informer, via Slashdot)

"I really hope Microsoft has sorted out the architecture, because having a console die on me has really sapped a lot of goodwill. I already hate PCs – I’m typing this (on a Mac) on the day that both our laptop and a desktop PC have also died, with no hope of affordable recovery (according to some fat bloke at the PC shop, anyway). Unfortunately, PCs are a necessary evil; my children need them for their homework, and to talk to pedophiles. I don’t need to own a Microsoft console. I’ve got other, seemingly more reliable, systems to play games on." (Mr. Biffo, EDGE)
