Increase In Xbox 360 E74 Problems

Xbm360 writes "According to data collected by Joystiq as well as Google Trends, there's been a steady rise in reports and discussion of the so-called E74 error on Xbox 360 consoles since August of last year. The E74 error is related to video problems caused by either a faulty AV connector or, more often, a loosened ANA/HANA scaling chip. This is not the first time the Xbox 360 has experienced technical issues; in recent years many people have complained about scratched discs and over-heating consoles — the 'red ring of death.'"

Meanwhile MS is killing off PC gaming

I don't think it was even reported on slashdot, but those Microsoft job cuts in Jan/Feb included all but 6 members of the Aces Studio team that developed Microsoft Flight Simulator for about a quarter century. After creating a buggy resource hog with version 10 which required 2 service packs to make bearable (and it's still buggy by most accounts), they simply killed off one of the best educational tools they ever built.

Also the abilities the truck were designed for are becoming reduced. the towing capacity of the 1984 chevy pickup are greater than the 2009 chevy pickup truck. GM realized that most trucks never do anything but get driven like a car so they cut costs in building them that almost nobody would notice.

Honestly, all corporations are making crap products, this really should not surprise anyone.
