Microsoft faces new Xbox 360 reliability accusations

2008-12-17T15:16:00.000-06:00

Remember last week's story about Jason Johnson, the Illinois man who sued Microsoft over his Xbox 360's alleged habit of scratching his game DVDs?

Documents unsealed in his court case revealed Microsoft discovered its Xbox 360 could scratch discs before it went on sale in 2005, and even got as far as considering three possible solutions to the problem, the Seattle Tech Report revealed today.

The characteristic circular scratches can occur whenever the orientation of the console -- which is designed to be used in either a horizontal or vertical position -- is changed while the drive is spinning. Johnson filed his suit after his console scratched three store-bought game discs, and is seeking $50,000 in punitive damages.

Testimony obtained from a Microsoft program manager indicates that Microsoft became aware of the problem months before the 360's launch when retail demonstration consoles malfunctioned. The company examined three solutions: strengthening the magnets that hold the discs in place, slowing the rotational speed of the discs, and installing rubber bumpers to cushion the discs, but rejected them all. Installing the bumpers could have cost as little as $0.50 per console, the suit claims.

It's not the first time Microsoft has come under fire for alleged foreknowledge of Xbox 360 hardware issues, either. Back in September, an expose penned by VentureBeat writer Dean Takahashi claimed systemic failures in Microsoft's design and quality assurance processes lead to the Xbox 360's now-infamous overheating "Red Ring of Death" failures.

"The big reveal of the night came from CliffyB, lancer in hand, announcing Gears of War 2 (surprise!) was coming out November 2008 (photos, teaser trailer). You can watch us try to (unsuccessfully) get some other GoW2 details from Epic's Mark Rein, Tim Sweeney and Cliffy B. We did learn about Epic's new additions to the Unreal Engine, especially Mova's awesome contour facial capture system (interview) and the state of Unreal Tournament 3 mods for consoles (good for PS3, bad for Xbox 360)."

Highlights from the Game Developers Conference 2008 - Joystiq

"Team Ninja's self-proclaimed badass Tomonobu Itagaki took the stage to announce a June 3 release for Ninja Gaiden 2 as well as show off some bloody disgusting (but in a good way) gameplay (photos, video). An Xbox Live tab appeared claiming a NG2 demo was "coming soon," but that turned to be just video of someone playing the demo. Lame.

Lionhead founder and nudist extraordinaire Peter Molyneux presented the latest Fable 2 build (photos), showing himself to be a woman (in-game) whose husband is untimely vanquished as a result of the new co-op mode. Also, monsters will no longer line their bellies with currency and drop gold upon defeat; instead, you'll have to earn your living through trade skills (i.e. jobs) or by gambling in a Fable 2 Xbox Live minigame."

Dr. Kawashima declines $22 million in Brain Age royalties

"With 17 million copies of Brain Age sold since its release, Dr. Kawashima is due to earn $22 million in royalties. The shocker? He doesn't want a single penny, and instead puts his royalties towards funding other research projects. “Everyone in my family is mad at me but I tell them that if they want money, go out and earn it," he said."

Super Smash Brothers Brawl '300'

Super Smash Brothers Brawl '300': "I’ve seen all the Super Smash Brothers Brawl commercials from Nintendo, but the above user created video gets me more excited about the game that should certainly become one of the top selling Wii titles. Some may argue that the game is not as hard-core as it could be considering the limitations of the Wii, but I think it’s still going to be a great game. Of course, 300 is an extremely motivational film and sound clips from it tend to work well with any fighting game."

No more, with today's announcement of Microsoft's second quarter earnings which showed a relatively impressive six-month income of $524 million"

"This book will have a mass effect on her career"

2008-01-24T13:35:00.000-06:00

First was amazon.com. Now, Barnes & Noble receives well deserved reviews of Cooper Lawrence’s book “Cult of Perfection: Making Peace with Your Inner Overachiever”

Fox News – unless you have a Cowboys football game on, I'm not watching you!
Amazon – removing reviews? That is just not right.
Cooper Lawrence – who the fuck is she?

Here are some recent book reviews from Barnes&Noble:

“I was expecting something intellectually stimulating when i picked up this book, shortly finding out that it was filled with nothing but pseudo psychological arguments and poor attempts at humour. This book will have a mass effect on her career.”

“This book is an insult to humanity. It's blatant sexual content and adult subject matter is insulting, both because of the way that it objectifies women and the shameless marketing to small children. Stay as far away from this book as possible.”

“Definately not worth your money. This books lacks any new information and is more opinionated than factual. Perhaps the author should have done some research or chosen a subject that she had a clue about before starting this book.”

“All I have to say about this author is that she is a complete disgrace to her profession. Anyone that is willing to go on national television and debate a topic, should probably know at least something about that topic. I know absolutely nothing about this book, and for that reason I will not give my opinion on the book alone, but the credability of the auther went right out the door when she appeared on television commenting on a subject she knows nothing about, and making false accusations that could have been avoided had she done some research. The fact she will so freely make assumptions and give her 'expert' opinion on any topic, I find it difficult to expect any real substance to be included in her own literary piece.”

"Cooper Lawrence is a Dr. Phil 'Wannabe'. She was recently seen on Fox News spewing tripe concerning the video game Mass Effect and it's supposed full frontal nudity. Not only had she not done any research regarding this game, she had not played it at well. Referring to the gaming expert as 'Darling', she showed her true colors, and leads me to believe that if she couldn't do any fact gathering for a 5 minute spot on Fox News, I highly doubt she did any research for her book. Stay away from this modern day snake oil salesman.”

“The ideas and views portrayed in this book, and the marketing behind the book, are: flawed, misinformed, and do not reflect reality. Do not waste your time or money on this particular book. There are many other books out there that give ideas and messages based on much more knowledge, experience, and reality.”

“This book is badly researched and comes to conclusions without actually experiencing what has been commented on."

I'm sure there are more coming: Barnes&Noble
