1 - big mistake
2 - umm, a 'flaw'? ok then. thats just something they wish the 360 would have. its not something that I wish it would have.
In 3 they say its not as simple as a cable? Apparently it is from everything that ive heard.
4 - big one.
5 - as he said 'im too lazy to enter my password'. have a password if youre concerned. also, its unlikely your friends or sibblings will purchase something on the marketplace. if there is a chance of this, just get a password for your xbl account.
6 isnt a design flaw. the xbox isn't a computer - it's a gaming console.
8 isn't a flaw either. xvids are used most commonly to distribute compressed pirated films. this was rather a conscious decision by MS. i also love:
"Of course, in doing so, the market for mod chips would shrink and MS would be able to get a wider user base for the Xbox 360."
Ummm..yes, people only bought modchips to play xvids on the 360. That's the stupidest statement ever.
10 - according to who? he has no evidence. he just vaguely says that it's not good. proof?
