Why the xbox 360 is stupid

First things first, I own an xbox 360, I bought it because there were more games on the xbox... supposedly good games, I never imagined that these games would be more expensive than what I can get for PC. I also never imagined that it would have annoying hardware problems that is a result of the cut corners attitude of Microsoft. Oh and the games themselves are mediocre at best... except maybe fable 2 (Which I don't have).

Here is an example: I bought halo 3, preowned. It had this very slight scratch on it so I thought it would be fine( I have original xbox games with way worse scratches than this... they are preowned ones too). So I pop it in, start playing and it works, kind of. The only problem is the sound skips like when you have a cd player and stamp your foot near it. The reason why this happened is because the xbox uses a regular DVD drive, but essentially OVERCLOCKS it to allow for a higher capacity DVD.

I got the game cleaned at er, game. Now it doesn't work, so I will be taking it in later for replacement or refund.

Any other decent games, like dragon age origins, which I think follows the modern game formula of appealing to all gamers resulting in a dumbed down experience, are available on either PC, or the PS3. Think on this for a bit, and don't reply with any fan boy brainwashed comments such as "THE PS3 SUCKS AND THE XBOX IS AWESOME BECAUSE OF ALL THESE FEATURES LIKE AVATARS AND GAMERTAGS AND GAMER SCORES ETC".
