Xbox 360 takes a big knock from US Tech Celebrity Getting There
   December 8th, 2008 clock image 1:30 pm

Most of us won’t know him, most of us have never heard of him but the problem for Microsoft is that most of America does.

The man I am talking about goes by the name of Leo Laporte. He is a presenter of an American Tech TV show called The Screen Savers and today, in a huge knock to Microsoft, he posted on his blog that he has just had his second and final RROD on his Xbox 360 and will be completely moving over to the Playstation 3 for his gaming needs.

Microsoft is truly starting to feel the sting of their actions and I cannot say that I feel the least bit sorry for them. News like this hitting the American news just before Christmas is not going to help them with their sales, price drops or not.

With so many people complaining about their Xbox 360′s and the recent news of the local Xbox 360 price increases, it is fairly safe to say that the South African Xbox 360 scene is in serious danger.

    The RROD is old news. Everybody has probably already heard about it. That doesn’t make it less crappy though. The price increase will hurt the most imo.

  • ewie

    And in Other news, the xbox outsold the ps3 3:1 over black
    Friday in america.

    Don’t think this guys post will do anything to damper sales of a HD console that is less than $200.

  • Fox1

    Why was there no official press release of the XBox 360 price increases? :???:

  • Pietie

    It is not MS that is increasing the prices.
    It is MI Digital being greedy.
    The company is going down and they want to make some money fast.

  • Bboy

    I honestly think they would rather not sell / promote xbox because they been having so much trouble – maybe they hope to make the same amount of cash on less sales and then less support. The people there sound like they are about to commit suicide when you call em up to find out when your replaced xbox is coming.

  • Arabian Knight

    Honestly, fuc the xbox 360. Switched mine on yesterday afternoon and saw red :mad:

  • Fudzy

    If I could trade my Xbox in for a PS3 now I would, unfortunately I’m just biding my time till the next RROD.

  • Wolfy

    thats why i have a big ass fan next to my xbox 360 .. can never be to careful

  • Wolfy

    im also thinking about getting a PS3 for online reasons… I also wanna brag about my gamerpoints.. trophies whaqtever comes first and my gmerscore is so good
