Is Microsoft scamming us?

[Thug Zombie]

I play an hour a day, I always keep my gaming area clean of my food and drinks. You know how us tubby people eat potato chips, drink soda, and play games at the same time.

I've had my Xbox since they came out, and I have never gotten the RRoD

Thats the thing, my Xbox room is cooler, and I have a fan for my xbox, but it continues to break. I'm sure that you will get it soon.

Dude. I take horrible care of my xbox. I keep it on pretty much 24/7

On the floor were the fan is blocked. And no Red ring of death. Never had any problems.

I've even dropped it on tile.

Somethings obviously is wrong here.

1. Bill Gates isn't related to Microsoft anymore, he's hardly even on the board of directors, he collects royalties and oversees the company's direction but does not directly manage anything.
2. No. The reason 360's are prone to overheating is because of their design. Unlike previous generations of consoles (especially Nintendo), which seemed invincible, the 360 line is using more PC components. The high overheat percentages are due to people not understanding how to properly maintain a PC (and faulty thermal paste of course). Microsoft is guilty of 'scamming', but not in this way ($60 loving dollars for a controller).

I realize that, but I think they could of done it to make more money seing as no other console does it.
