Earlier today, at the E3 2010 Microsoft Press Conference, Microsoft made a move that shocked the audience. This move is now being referred to as someone of an "Oprah effect". So, what did Microsoft do? Like when Oprah gave away 200 brand new cars, Microsoft gave away newly modeled Xbox 360's to everyone in the audience. For a moment, the entire audience was still, not believing what they had just heard. It wasn't long before everyone was standing and clapping at the exciting news.

Sure, you can call it a bribe, as many people are. Even then, it is without any need to say that what Microsoft did was generous, and that is got them quite a bit of a reputation boost at the same time.

Sony, being Microsoft's closest competitor on the gaming market, will likely retaliate with some generosity of their own. What will they do? How will they make it better than Microsoft's "Oprah effect"? Perhaps they didn't have anything like that planned... But if that is true, we can be sure of one thing: Their plans just changed.

Sony is going to have a really hard time topping that.

Noooo it's the new one

Microsoft are competiting for the most money and Sony are competiting for the best quality consoles.

well this verison is even more crappy. your right about the red rings but shuts off when ever it is hot. and can still shit it self but you won't know.

You wouldn't know if it was more crappy. It's been out for less than 2 weeks and you don't even have an Xbox. All you're doing is reading what people are claiming and believing it.

i have 4 xbox360 with the rrod

The new xboxs were probably only like £30 to make.

Those are original Xbox 360s. We are talking about the new one. You said the new Xbox was more crappy.

it is. what if your in a middle of a gb and the xbox360 is overheating and shuts off on you? i would break right there and then
