Query: Another one bites the dust

It was a nice system with a great library of games until I got the 3 red lights of death 4 months later. I'll be getting a refurb from MS but who knows how long that will last. These systems really are defective. You would think a company with as much dough as MS has could throw the consumer a bone once in a while. But most people that know videogames agree MS is the most money hungry of the 3 console makers. 1. $50 a year to play online. 2. $180 for a proprietary 120 gb harddrive that should cost $100. 3. $50 for 512mb mem card(a thumb drive of the same size is like $10 but MS wont let you use them to save games) Save yourself the frustration and go with the Wii if you need family friendly games or the PS3 which is a superior piece of hardware. Unless you want to pay MS $80 a year just for the privilage of playing the 360. ($50 for xbox live and $30 a year to extend the warranty)
