PlayStation 4, Xbox 0

I've always been a PlayStation guy. Given the theme of this blog it shouldn't be hard to figure out why I would avoid the Xbox. I just can't bring myself to support a platform that could be the best but is just so disappointing. However, for free I might just use an Xbox. Recently, a friend from church gave me an Xbox 360 so I could play games with him. Sure, I would need to sign up for Xbox Live and buy a couple games, but that didn't seem like a big deal if my friend wanted me to play badly enough to give me an Xbox. 

I brought it home and plugged it in. Everything came up, looking good. Then I got this 

Well of course I'd like to update. 

Still looking good....

 And there it is! For a moment they had me believing I would not be experiencing the regular disgust at the pathetic quality of their products. More money than anyone. More resources, more know how, more failure! WHY?! You could have made it work Microsoft! I know you could! Oh what I would give for you to make something that works! 

Oh yes, it's connected to the internet alright. The failure belongs to Microsoft. I'll probably wind up having to update it manually. You know I've never had to do that with any of my Sony products, which I will gladly continue to pay for. I believe that makes the score PlayStation 4, Xbox 0. So much promise and so little delivery, this is why I hate Microsoft today. How about you?
