The Xbox 360 had one of the strongest years in console gaming, second only to the Nintendo Wii, the charming console for the whole family. But amidst all the success and the record-breaking sales, an ugly demon reared its head as well, the ‘Red Ring of Death.’ The Ring of Light on the front of the Xbox usually greets us with its swirling green lights accompanied by the faint hum of the Xbox whirring to life. Sometimes, it doesn’t. Should you have ever tried to boot the console up with the A/V cables loose or the power brick or AC adapters loose, you’ve seen the 4 red lights and you’ve felt your heart splash as it hit the bottom of your stomach, but upon further inspection, you’re still good to go.

MS: Sony Has Failed to Deliver on Promises
From next-gen.biz (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=10388&Itemid=2 ): [QUOTE] Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg says “the days of Sony snowing the consumers and the press are over,” that the company has failed to deliver on numerous promises, and challenges Sony’s latest European PS3 sales figures. “We have been fighting Sony’s promises from the day we entered the market,” Greenberg told Destructoid. “Three years ago at E3 they showed what PS3 games would supposedly look like with the Killzone 2 video, that we are now learning will ship four years later. That means that we will have shipped Gears of War and Gears of War 2 before they can even get Killzone out the door. “Think back to GDC 2007 when Sony promised to leap ahead in online with the Sony Home unveil. Here we are two years later and multiple delays for a product that appears to have little to no buzz. Where are the achievements? The friends list integration across all games? Where is the long-promised video store? Where are all the other products using and networking with their CELL chip? How come Blu-ray did not result in better games? What happened with Sixaxis and rumble? Where is the complete 1080p game library we were promised? If Blu-ray as they said would be such a catalyst to PS3 console sales, then why have PS3 sales over the past couple of months not seen any lift since the format victory?” [/QUOTE] Full Story: next-gen.biz (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=10388&Itemid=2 ) From next-gen.biz:
