I wrote an email to members of the Xbox global marketing team asking them to comment on confirm or deny the compensation section. --8bitJake (talk) 19:41, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I’ve dealt with them in the past. The folks at Gamescore blog are actually very approachable and Microsoft make a very good effort at building community relations with bloggers and such. --8bitJake (talk) 20:02, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Smarthouse as a Source
I have removed smarthouse from this page. Please see the discussion on Smarthouse as a source here:
The owner of that blog network is a well known liar and traffic troll.

I am going to undo it. Wageslave edits are POV and he acted unilaterally again. This is a perfect example of his destructive editing --8bitJake (talk) 07:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Gotcha. Thanks for explaining. xenocidic (talk) 21:44, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey Wageslave did you know that someone has started a Arbitration case against you about your anti-PS3 edits.

I have a press pass, have written books and newspaper articles, have thousands of daily readers, and I am syndicated on the Associated Press news feeds. Microsoft considers me a news source as well as major videogame news publications like Joystiq, Newsweek, MTV news and Kotaku. I am an online journalist that has done a considerable work of investigative journalism on this subject. I honestly think that your obsession with the word “Blog” as a pejorative is petty and outdated. Honestly I don’t have to prove myself to you or solve your hang-ups you have toward online journalists.--8bitJake (talk) 18:23, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Like hell you don't, I don't think I ever seen someone use the word Blog as an insult more than you. --8bitJake (talk) 18:52, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I believe that you don't hold the publishing medium of blogs as high as other forms of online publishing. I am basing that on your repeated referals of me being a "Blogtroll" and "Traffic whore" on this very page. That is not a personal attack.--8bitJake (talk) 21:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
December 2005
I would like to invite editors to review the "December 20005" section. Of the two links, one is a clear advertisement (and the paragraph is written thusly) and the second is a bad-link.
The entire paragraph is weak IMO, I dont see what it adds to the article over-all. Does anyone else find anything of value in that section?

Added OR to General Hardware Failure section
The General Hardware Failure error could be caused by cold soldering. The added mass of the CSP chips (including the GPU and CPU) resists heat flow that allows proper soldering of the lead-free solders underneath the motherboard. This causes cracking and voids in the solders themselves from prolonged constant temperature changes inside the Xbox 360. Lead-free solders, however, might be the cause of this because, when properly soldered, they take on a dull appearance that professionals take as a cold solder in older methods, thus, leading to confusion. Lead-free solders also require a greater amount of heat to solder properly when compared to older lead/tin solders.
This is Original Research. The purpose is for mannucorp to sell the product it has advertised in the pdf citation. It is in bad faith and should be removed.

POV Tag
Can we get a consensus vote to remote the POV tag? I vote remove --8bitJake (talk) 21:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I do too, it was placed by an anonymous user (User:70.178.97.83) that was obviously disgruntled, and left soon after he placed the tag, so I do not think there is any real "discussion" on the topic for which the tag was originally placed anymore. Mahjongg (talk) 23:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
List of Xbox 360 Motherboards
Such a section would be useful to summarize the technical differences between the different hardware revisions, like processor die size, number/type of heatsinks, and HDMI inclusion.--SkiDragon (talk) 01:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
OK. Sounds good. You should get going on it and we will help. There is some text you can use as a start at Xbox 360 hardware --8bitJake (talk) 06:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
It looks like this information would be better in that article anyway.--SkiDragon (talk) 00:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Have these problems been resolved in anyway?
Have new improved versions of the Xbox 360 been released or something because it's been two years and I'm pretty sure that these problems have been resolved somehow and that information is just not in the article. --Coconutfred73 (talk) 18:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Nope. These issues are still going on and Microsoft has hundreds of people still working on it.
Well they are still working on these issues and there are new motherboards in the works IE Jasper, Opus and Valhalla but this is still relevant because there are millions of Xenon and Zephyr based Xbox 360 out there and while the Falcon system are more reliable they still have an failure rate that is extremely abnormally high compared to other electronics and their competitors. The failure rate of the Falcon motherboard is still over 10%.
I do think this article would benefit from a detailed explanation of the differences in the generation of Xbox 360 motherboards : Xenon. Zephyr, Falcon, Opus, Jasper and Valhalla. Also the different generations of heat pipes and fans would help. --8bitJake (talk) 18:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Microsoft still hasn't even disclosed what exactly went wrong with their product, and how exactly the failure rates dropped. I'm skeptical at the reliability of their claim at best, and I do agree that there should be a list of differences between the Xenon, Zephyr, Falcon, etc. models..

The EE Times reports on GPU
I have a couple minor issues with the text that got added.
"In June 2008, the EE Times reports the problems may have started in a graphic chip. Microsoft designed the chip in-house to cut out the traditional ASIC vendor with the goal of "going cheap". After the multiple product failures, Microsoft went back to an ASIC vendor and had the chip redesigned."
There might be a problem with the GPU but it is not the total issues on the hardware design. The CPU, heat flow, component supply and Motherboard layout are all contributing factors to the Core Digital error failure. Yeah they wanted to own the technology behind the GPU and CPUs so they would own the miniaturization cost reduction process and can use it for future Xbox products. --8bitJake (talk) 18:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
The eetimes article had some good points to it but I think that it is a more complex issue than just saying it's just the GPU. --8bitJake (talk) 06:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I would not say that the article is wrong but cost reduction was not the only reason for Microsoft choosing those chips and to do the chip design work in house. Microsoft does not own the IP for all PowerPC or ATI chips but they own the IP for these chips --8bitJake (talk) 21:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
That was one of the reasons why the hardware design of the GPU and CPU work for the Xbox 360 is being done by Microsoft. They wanted to own the IP for the chips so they would not have to license any external IP for future work on the chips or to use the tech in other projects. This was one of the reasons why they chose a new CPU/GPU architecture than the Xbox one. It is not in the at eetimes article but it is in Dean Takahashi’s book and my interview with my “Xboxfounder” source. --8bitJake (talk) 21:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Console fanboys will undoubtedly find lots of firepower in what Carmack had to share, who made it clear that designing for the Xbox 360 was more of a joy than arduously...
If you are a first person shooter fan, then last year must have been video game euphoria. It can be an arduous task to exceed the quality of a game like Halo 3, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, The Orange Box, or BioShock.
