Ten things I hate about the Xbox 360 - CNET

David Carnoy from CNET doesn't seem to like the Xbox 360. In fact, there are a whole 10 things that irk him about it. For starters, he complains about being sent a charcoal debug Xbox 360, because it makes the standard colour box seem not as good. Boo freakin' hoo - I'll take his debug PS3 console so the release version doesn't cause any disappointment.

His rant focuses on these 10 points:

  1. Beige isn't the new black
  2. No killer games at launch
  3. Accessories cost a small fortune
  4. The hard drive isn't big enough
  5. Limited keyboard/mouse support at launch
  6. No built-in Wi-Fi
  7. Not enough USB ports, especially on the back
  8. No HDMI or DVI connectivity
  9. No built-in card reader
  10. You can't get it

Since when has the Xbox 360 been beige? Or is this a new l33t tech term that I haven't been told about? At least he didn't refer to good games as "killer apps", although I bet he was tempted.

Get the reasoning for his pet peeves over at CNET.

O K this reporter is a f-g and theres alot of speculation and concerns about 360 and the development process that was behide the hole mishape that caused the 360 to have a sore thumb, but mostly this is just a bunch of market-media critisizm which is healthy feedback for MICROSOFT's marketing groups, i don't believe that they made a defective product like that one retart said somewhere in chicago, but any seccessful product has it's preliminary problems no matter if its hardware to software quaries... but they do get fixed,... one thing that you can count on from the 360 is that the hardware design may be flawed for some people that may have purchased at launch but the system was not the real case it was more so in the A/C block which has a fan in it as well, so i think it not like MICROSOFT biult a flawed system they just thought most people weren't stupid enough to treat it like s--t!!

as long as the 360 has awsome games and graphics i don't really care wat the faults are.
