I wonder if anyone tried the MMORPG-s 9Dragons, and 2Moons. Is there a big difference between the two?

Yo guys, I began the microsoft training to be a X-Box tech support agent today :)
For now, it's a pain in the ass. Interesting, but a pain in the ass anyway.

Did you know... that Microsoft loses $130 per each 360 sold? I sure as hell didn't!

They make it up in games, accessories and X-box Live.

Hmmm, still, after that fucking red ring error in XBox 360, Microsoft did lose a hell of money.

Any console, and since they were first made, has made companies lose money. So yeah, as Kaj said, games + accessories = where the profit comes from.

Ding ding ding! Correct!
Every game costs $0.50 They sell them for (average) $50. That's %10000 of benefits per game (without the developing costs, of course)
Each wireless controler? $7 Price on stores? 10 times that amount.

I'm learning quite a lot really. About the so-called ring of death, dashboard issues, suscriptions, refunds and the like :)

Yeah. The amount of profits companies reap on some things is pretty insane. All be it, some of the profit has to go into new ventures and R&D, but most of it just stockpiles if they are successful.

They scrapped the xbox quickly to never be seen again because it wasnt designed to be cost-efficient like the 360.

Added after 29 seconds:

So I guess there's a pool full of bank notes somewhere?

I knew there was something wrong with the RM300 ('bout 70+ USD) 360 controller for the PC...

So, I just watched Halloween the rob zombie remake yesterday.

...Is it so wrong to laugh at a dead body being dragged away?

Not how long... but how. Is he using his hand or a chain wrapped in spiked chocolate?

Hmm, dragging by foot for 5-7 minutes... nothing funny about that unless the guy being dragged looked stoned.

Or if he was stoned and was hitting every big rock and cactus available while being dragged.

Coos your never on xbox live.
It saddens me when you appear for a blip of a second and screw with my mind making me think your on.

Then I kill more people on xbox.

Man, Halloween rocked!

Any word out on whether Manhunt 2 is still being released somewhere around then? I've been going nuts over it and Guitar Hero 3 for a while now.

I heard Halloween sucked ass. It was described to me as such:
