A_COUPLE_HOBOS Another reason why im going to Playstation 4. This is ******** microsoft....


LMFAO, did you not see the 1 year downtime of Sony PS3 from Anonymous. Skid, get off this forum, don't hate.


IT was not 1 year ****. It was a few months...

Who gives a ****, 1 year (a few months) still huge downtime, now leave post and go off to your PS3 hater.


Actually I play xbox, I just find it annoying when people exaggerate so much, a few months a 1 year are a pretty big difference.
