The Official Console Wars Thread

[King Sun]

I woke up early and saw this thread about 6am.....thought to myself....xbox360 came out in 2005...i think...hey who's keeping tabs


Thats damn near 8 yrs ago....this nikka been doing the same thing for 8 yrs now....

we theoretically could have have seen 3 different presidents faces based on terms and when they entered office.....

we've seen a housing market boom, bust and so on


I thought, should I delete this thread, but decided, hey, let this nikka embarrass himself, he's only in his mid 30s doing things he did in his mid to late 20s

Besides the buzz of RG3, whom I hope recovers and the smile of his children(which I assume he appreciates)....what else does he have to look forward to.....He may have many blessings, but based on 1000's of ps3/xbox360 posts......which has carried from a white president to a new generation of consoles......


I figured, why should I kill his passion, I didnt have the heart to, its like pulling the plug on someone on their deathbed, Ill let one of the others do it because this is obviously his passion and who am I to take that away from him as years pass him by on a posting treadmill or redundancy.

I hope you understand Rekka...I also liked the gif in the OP...the guy on the far right seems to be quite ham

courtdog lost

If PSN is trash again for the PS4, Sony might as well declare bankruptcy now!

trash as in playing online for free and being able to talk to your friends/opponents? The same thing you do on Live. If that is trash, then

Besides, PS4 alraedy more powerful, won't be 600, similar easy development tools, piff exclusives. We gonna good.

While yall playing Halo: Master Chief Unchained we gonna be eating off some new fresh PS4 exclusives like Sony does EVERY gen.

Firstly, RAM count doesn't determine the security of a system.

Secondly, there is no link.

Thirdly, if a developer said this, he would not have a job in this industry.

Can a mod lock this nonsense?

Since the mods gave their opinion, there have been 10 posts; 8 of which have been from naysayers. Again, I agree this thread is nonsense but this thread would just be dead if people just stopped posting in it. Y'all love the drama as much as he does. Basically he's the joker to your batman.

Out of respect for the dozens and dozens of other thriving threads on The Arcadium, this will be a catchall for the eventual 720/PS4/WiiU flame war threads.

We all know this will probably end up as Courtdog's random thoughts Pt. 2, but I'll keep it simple:

If you don't want your thread merged here, you better have a subject that can survive on its own (specs, features, launch library, etc.) and RECENT LINKS.

There's no need for a bunch of dumb ass threads with OPs that contain a smiley or a wall of text...if you want to shyt on the opposing systems, do it here.

The PS4 is already looking like trash. Sony can sell some of you anything so props to them. Y'all are the same people who have that shyt psvita. Sony zombies I call ya lol

Aka to broke to buy the best system.

Xbox Live Vulnerability Exposed! Microsoft Ignored The Truth - AnalogHype | AnalogHype

Adrian Pottinger

From what started as a supposed*Fifa 12 hack, turns out to be more then that.*Xbox Live*has a serious*security flaw*and*Microsoft*ignored it for way to long. We have uncovered how easy it is for hackers or anybody with some free time to hack your Xbox Live account.

I spoke with Jason Coutee, a network infrastructure manager who had his Xbox Live account hacked. 8000 Microsoft points were purchased on his account, so he did what anyone of us would do and call Xbox support. A transaction for Xbox Live Family Pack was in the middle of being processed and he was able to cancel it before it went through. Unfortunately Xbox couldn’t refund him for the 8000 Microsoft points but offered to freeze his account for 30 days to investigate. Jason declined to the investigation so that he can do his own investigation. For the next couple of weeks Jason went searching for vulnerabilities that may have caused the hack. He then found Xbox 360′s Achilles heel, Xbox.com


The first step was to gather the Windows Live ID’s of gamertags. So after a round of Halo Reach, he gathered a list of gamertags and enter them individually on Google. Thanks to Facebook, Twitter, or any other links that have their email advertised, hackers now have a potential list of Windows Live ID’s. Now the hackers check to see if the email is a valid Windows Live ID. To do this, hackers headed to Xbox.com Typing in the email and a random password like blah.If the hacker got the error message “account is invalid” they move on to another email.

When the hacker comes across the error message “password is wrong” then that account is in trouble.*Now with a simple script, hackers can brute force their way into your Xbox Live account. The script would batch run a list of potential password, which anybody can find online with a simple Google search. The script will attempt to enter these potential passwords until it gets in. Xbox allows you to enter your password incorrectly 8 times on the website, then it asks for a CAPTCHA code. When hackers get to that CAPTCHA code, there is a link for “try with another Live ID”. Clicking this link resets the CAPTCHA code and hackers can continue to force their way in 8 more times before they need to click the link again. *

This process can easily be automated by a skilled hacker. Once a hacker is in your account, nothing is safe. Hackers will take your credit card info, Netflix, Hulu Plus, the works.So what are hackers going to do with your hacked account? Most likely purchase games and Microsoft points, change your gamertag and the email associated with then sell it online. For extra kicks they might also purchase a Xbox Family pack to add 3 more gamertags to their arsenal. Hackers are known to do this several times a day. Making several hundred dollars a day off of Microsoft’s laziness and your money.

Jason Coutee attempted to call Microsoft to report his findings and Microsoft Headquarters gave him the run around. Instructed him to email helpnow@microsoft.com He also tried calling*1-800-4-MY-XBOX*where he spoke with a supervisor. The supervisor instructed him to take it to the Xbox.com forums. His latest attempt was with the Piracy and Phishing department at Microsoft who wouldn’t help him with anything Xbox related. *

Everybody at Microsoft refused to*acknowledge*the issue and because of that, gamertags are still being hacked. Microsoft can easily fix this issue by sending an email to people when there are more than X amount of failed login attempts and by by storing session id’s.*

Bu bu but XBOX Live has the "superior" network..

I hope I don't seem like I'm tripping, or trying to undercut @Kodie out of disrespect...but I'm fulfilling Diggy's prophecy and moving this to the Flame Wars thread.

I let plenty of Court threads live ("I didn't know Louis CK is Mexican" is a great example, he knows how to make legit threads), but this is not one of them.

- fake fact in thread title
- no links, fake quote
- turns into a fanboy war thread

This thread isn't going into the bushes, it's just going where it belongs.

Nobodys taking this dudes post as news just because he used a quote tag. so theres no reason to take action on this thread.

We know better...but assuming everyone else does is giving Court way too much credit. Plus he operates under the name Cockmeat Sandwich, willingly, for Christ's sake.

He makes dozens and dozens of garbage threads, loves him some him...but The Arcadium is not his personal pulpit, even though he tries his hardest to treat it so.
