Way back, when XBox was still in development, I predicted that there would be problems with it. Just look at the PC running Windows. Then of course, MS had never made a "complete" system of any sort before, just add on's like PC game controllers. Here we are some time after launch, and people are still reporting problems with the XBox. Problems playing DVD's, dirty disc errors, and so on. Lets not forget the issue of scratched discs - although that one at least has gone silent.

And Sony also had some duff PS2's at launch, but at least that was just at launch and not a continuing run of issue's like with the XBox. Only Nintendo were able to launch a console without any problems at all - unless anyone knows different.

I don't have an X-Box, so don't care. All consoles occasionally crash and lock up, it's not something that exclusivly only happens to the X-box you know.

Some early copies of Rogue Leader locked up, but that's not Nintendo's fault - you can blame Lucas Arts for that one! :-)
