  • All the big factories in China are the same., Chins wants all the manufacturing jobs that's why they do it so cheap.

    Everyday more companies switch over to Chinese manufacturers. I saw a documentary about it and all the big brands that we know and love have these labor camps X-box, I phone, Android, Sony etc.

    It's disgusting but it probably won't change, we the consumers are just as bad because if X-box 720 was made in the US but cost 1500-2000 dollars we wouldn't buy it.

  • is 300 really "mass"?

    

  • well fuck you foxconn

  • HOW CAN THE XBOX KILL SOME1 ? DAMN XBOX WANTS REVENGE ON THE XBOX 360

    SORRY MY CAPS STICKS AND I HATE SHIFT ~

  • Talking shit about suicide, and wearing a Nirvana t-shirt. Funny!

  • I've herd that foxconn opened a new factory and workers are already building apples ipad2 even though the factory is still under construction, how did that happen?

  • "Microsoft is an a american company" Look at the bottom of the XBOX it says made in china -__-

  • @PlaystationPlayer68 No... only the design, the parts, the controllers, and the drivers.... But the American company puts them together after china showed them :D

  • @PlaystationPlayer68 Microsoft is an American company, they manufacture a lot of their products in China. Same can be said about a LOT of different companies.

  • @PlaystationPlayer68

    Are you fucking retarded?

  • Foxxcon manufactures a lot of things like motherboards, apple devices, phones, Xboxs, etc. They have 800,000 workers to do all this.

  • I'ts pretty effed up. one day there going to get a wake up call =\ I for one dont want to look at any system and say  hey..13 people died for this

  • Nice Nirvana shirt. Looks like the front cover of Bleach.

  • thank god i play a pc

  • gunns this is shit...in the way that it is wrong. Could you look into to see if other companies cause it would suck if microsoft got hammered while other companies get a way with. no im not a fan boy but seriously why should one bank robber get arrested while the others are left free

  • @Misacura sorry for missing word =9

  • @Misacura a lot of companies do it. Apple inc who uses foxconn products had this sort of thing happen. Foxconn is a REALLY fucked up company.

  • @Misacura Em... they're not like bank robbers in any way. They provide jobs that people take. And if they take them it must mean that they prefer it over nothing.

  • MICROSOFT KILLS PEOPLE LOL

  • Misspelled words D: useless comment

  • I see, guessvi should learn more about the country, but I know they don't have all the great opportunities we Americans have

  • You have enough money to send to your family for a few weeks but you're starting to look less apealling to universities b/c of your age and the only job experience you have is farming/part time jobs as a kid and factory work. The same factory contacts you and offers you a rather promising stipend b/c of your seniority with their work. What do you do?

  • @ShinobioofGilead Jesus man, you made me cry. Is all of this true

  • knowing how microsoft treats their customers it doesn't surprise me at all that they are willing to work with a company like that.

    I've been back and forth with their customer 'service' a few times and If I were in their shoes I'd be embarassed to call it that.

    As long as they can squeeze out the maximum amount of profit out of it without breaking any laws themselves they don't care.

    I have no problem with company's trying to max their income but morality doesn't count anymore these days.

  • Why would you kill yourself, dumbasses should just quit

  • @ragedarbiter11 Let's say you're a 19 year old who NEEDS money from a job to go to college in order to improve your family's life. A factory job is readily available and better than the vast majority of options you have if you want to work legally. Great! You wanna sign up but the only way to get the job is to promise to work for X-amounts of months and live in their housing just for employees. That sounds pretty good actually; now you won't burden your parents and siblings and be independent.

  • @ragedarbiter11 So you move in, and start working and slowly begin to realize things aren't as great as you thought. You must do monotonous work for hours (8 or more) on end without interacting with anyone around you and under strict supervision by stern foremans. No problem. I work for my money! Unfortunately, you can't get permission to leave the factory premise for weeks so the only food is the food provided which you must pay for out of your salary. the makes overtime a MUST.

  • @ragedarbiter11 So you're working 9-12 hours a day and can only eat when you're told for no more than 20 min at a time until dinner and get an average of 5 or less hours of sleep per day. You must also wake up early everyday attend mandatory meeting in which foremans tell you that you and your colleagues quotas are too low and are not being paid 3 weeks OT because you're not working fast enough. You still need OT to break even and can't stop or else be in debt to the factory you work for.

  • @ragedarbiter11 Plus the money your family in the rural areas of China are basically keeping them afloat if you still want your brothers and sisters to get away from arduous and unfulfilling farm work. So you keep quiet with all your concerns, never talk to anyone while foremen are watching (9-12 hours/day) and make sure that no one suspects you of joining the myriad of strikes and workers' rights rumors. Once you are dismissed you find you don't have money to enroll in University.

  • @ragedarbiter11 its just not that easy maybe they have to support their family

  • the ad was better

  • This is the way a communist country works, sucks for them of course, but they should at list go for a strike, I don't think the people have enough courage to start a revolution.

  • @Trokkune

    This is State-sponsored capitalism, not communism. China was never communist state. Hell, "communist state" is borderline oxymoronic.

  • @Trokkune In China, if you go on strike, you get shot.

  • yeah Microsoft should should stop making hardware. the zoon failed and it took microsoft 5 years to get there xbox failure rate down to 10%. better luck next time microsoft. LOL. i dont even play games

  • @Meganelsonator While reading your first line and seeing that you spelled 'Zune' wrong, I stopped reading immediately.

  • greed knows no bounds

  • you are right

  • gunns has obviously never worked fast food b4..

  • Since some people are talking about xbox vs ps3, I just want to say that the only reason I own a ps3 is because of the controller, nothing else

  • Comment removed

  • No. I have both consoles, as well as a PC, so my previous comment is unbiased. "i know i just went hard so, cookies for everyone...". Dumbfuck.

  • @VersionD12 Should i be expected to strive to entertain a moron who defaults on the XBox versus PS3 tirade merely because I commented on a small portion of hypocritical, self righteous fanboys, which has been twisted into a gross exaggeration by your idiocy and astoundingly retarded inference that, as I have commented pertaining to a certain sect of fanboys, I must be attempting to abash all who have a PS3?

  • Comment removed

  • @l337popsicle kk listen i have both consoles. with quality ,speed ,social life ,accessibility xbox wins. internet ps3 wins now i only had xbox for 1 month and had ps3 since it came out i was on ps3 side but now that i have a xbox i think ps3 only good point is the free internet,browser. if xbox live was free,and xbox had a internet browser there is no doubt that it will become a gaming powerhouse.

  • I think China is doing this because it so over populated that they try to find ways to drop the population and making poor work conditions was one of them. TeeHee

  • If this happened in America, shit would happen. Its china and no one gives a fuck

  • foxconn make everything

  • Doesn't foxconn make computer parts as well i think they made 2 of the motherboards i owned

  • i thought that was made in thailand....

  • foxconn should be sued

  • @TheRiles123456789 they cant be sued becuse the china is communist and why would china sued it selfs

  • consoles are consoles who gives a shit, ps3 xbox360...same shit

  • @exiledtroller2294

    No, son... Just no.

  • @exiledtroller2294 not same shit buttface

  • @exiledtroller2294 That's not even the point he's trying to get at bro... -_-

  • CATCH NETS? REALLY O_O JAYSUS!!!!

  • Why does everyone attack xbox just because there a ps3 fanboy. Xbox is good and so is ps3 don't have a ps3 but I know it's good

  • Foxxconn also builds for Apple - the iPhone & MacBooks

  • it's all about money....

  • all the apple factor workers have to sign something that says they wont commit suicide at work

  • @l337popsicle and all i see is all of the faggot ass fucking haters of 2 of the most famous fucking systems in the world. Xbox 360 has its downsides, so does ps3. Shut the fuck up with your "Oh everyone who has a ps3 is retarded" jokes and actually do something entertaining. i know i just went hard so, cookies for everyone on 12/22/2012!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  • @asasin318 I think you mean china, idiots might read your comment and start a " fire"

  • Horrible news, i am at this point in my life not surprised. I wish America would just get it's foot out of it's own ass and stand up for something relevant.

  • well there's gotta be a negative to be a positive

  • Awww no I loved your old background

  • its up to fox con to increase working conditions microsoft dosent need to baby japan and come over there they should expect good working condition and a good machine but thats my opinion have a nic day bye bye you should have left by now STOP READING im seriouse knock it off for the love of christ stop reaading STOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP­PPPPPPPPPP

  • @asasin318 Actually Microsoft does have the responsibility to atleast pay more so that they CAN improve the work conditions and pay. It's not fair to place the blame on FoxConn. They probably don't even make enough to improve the place.

    

  • @Is0iOS what do samsung tv s being shitty have to do with anything?

  • @haters123 what software do you use on it ? Anyway its not just microsoft that have there products made my foxxcon apple, sony, nintendo, intel, samsung and many more. Also what prosessor do you have ? Lol

  • Thats just horrible, Knowing my xbox was made in china

  • See why do you stupid kids support microsoft? They allow this! wtfr is wrong with the world! This is why I love my PC. I build it myself, no one can tell me otherwise.

  • @haters123 Dumbass, Foxconn makes computer parts too

  • Japan FTW

  • This is why goods from China dont last long because the people manufacturing it are over worked for and under payed and you cant expect quality production out of stressed out employees under pressure.

  • In the United States this is why we have labor laws, Unions, union grievance commitees to us working men and women from bullshit like this.

  • Wasn't FOXCONN at the center of that investigation of all those apple manufacturer employees that were killing themselves?

  • All developing nations on its accent throughout history have had awful working conditions for its people, even Canada.

  • isnt foxconn works for apple?

  • its wrong like in africa people get killed or suicide so they can mine diamonds and sell them my dad went there to help the africans and i havent heard from him in a month

  • Putting up catch nets WOW I MEAN WOW UNBELIEVABLE FUCKING GOOD ASS HEALTH AND SAFETY

  • Title says enough, but I still listened

  • I always ask people why besides voip why they use a Xbox and they always say , Because fucker it's the only console made in the U.S.A. ;)

  • Thats is, fuck xbox, im getting a ps3...Okay im sorry guys, I didnt mean to go that far, im sorry

  • @MarcusL1996 sucks lolz

  • @BaconGamingFTW you sucks ;)

  • Do you also know that ps3, ipod, ipad, iphone, wiii, intel and samsung tvs are all also made by foxxcom?

  • @IceaSmith samsung tvs are shitty

  • C'mon GUNNS. Company's are made to make money and the bigger the company the more intense the desire to make profit.

  • Good thing I got a PS3

  • That is a load of bull from Microsoft they should take fully responsibility on this since it's their product being built their and do something to fix this

  • Thumbs up if you don't like to thumbs up

  • CHINKS

  • GUNNS!!! INTERVIEW WITH A HIGH RANKING MICROSOFT EMPLOYEE ON THEGUNNSHOP!!! LIKE SO GUNNS CAN SEE THIS!! :D

  • @cornspanker123 Its not Microsofts fault its foxconns ceo's problem and there are other companies in the mix like sony,apple,and nintendo. gunns just blames it on Microsoft because he's a fanboy.

  • @amadshadow It's not his fault so many people commit suicide cause the xbox sucks so much.

  • @IS0iOS Well yes partly due to that.

  • @IS0iOS

    Yes, that's exactly why people are taking their own life, not the low pay, not the standard of their work environment, not social pressure, not work levels, none of these. its because the Xbox "sucks".

    well, aren't you a smart guy, give this man a cookie.

    he thinks people kill themselves over the performance of a games console.

    Forever Alone.

  • @grant11102 lmao don't nerd rage on my ass.

  • @cornspanker123 Get your facts right and read the article.

  • im starting to scare myself because when i heard this i had no care about it.

  • @Rushkhour Bill gates doesn't even know his colony makes a gaming console.

  • Keep in mind companies build factories around poor areas , they pay low because any jobs before there were just as bad so then people would go there also because they need all the money they can get cause labour is crap, so workers find out about the same factory in a different area, find out it pays a lot more and complain

  • Bill Gates does all these humanitarian efforts in other countries yet his own company advocates inhumane work conditions in foreign factories.

  • Dude this sucks but this wont stop me from playing my 360 but this is still crappy and makes me fell aweful and also this video ruined my day

  • What the hell thank you for telling me this please somebody right an email to tell Microsoft what's happing please

  • Foxconn makes Sony, Apple, and LG products as well as far as i know. This American Life made an episode dedicated to this where this Mac Enthusiast travels to Shen-jen(where foxconns located at) to find out how it's manufactured. He interviews a lot of workers and its definitely something Microsoft can fix by just checking up on the factory like Apple claims to do and make them stop abusing workers or cut them off as a manufacturer.

  • This is totally messed up.Its sickening,I don't want to touch my Xbox .These people are being forced to mass produce these systems so that stupid little kids can sit on their ass playing video games all day.

  • @AudioShuffleHD So dont touch any apple products, TV's, everything made in china etc etc.

  • wow thats some fuct up shit right there .

  • Hell yeah buddy bill gates wants ur money

  • @jeffreyrg91 do you even have any idea what he spends his money on?

  • Dude these are only the stories you hear about as well, think about what isn't being told. Unless you can change an entire country, full of bad working conditions then forget about doing anything.

  • Oh, you stupid fanboys. Arguing about which is better as people kill themselves. What is the world comin yo? SMH

  • @iMClaeys

    That is what I is thinking, or hope is happening. Some of these Chinese manufacturers, not to be racist, but they really are dicks sometimes when it comes to paying and treating their workers.

  • The two companies clearly have a contracted deal. It's not up to Microsoft or Xbox to be concerned about the working condition's, especially overseas. That's up to the company providing this product & only theirs. In my opinion, if people are THAT upset about working there, then QUIT. Why be a selfish cunt & end your life, leave behind all your loved ones, for a problems that can be easily fixed? Think logically, not emotinally.

  • welcome to china....

  • I'm sorry.. nothing is ever bad enough to commit suicide...

  • @RossS1990 Shut the fuck up.

  • @ColonelChaos0 A well thought out and mature comment. There are millions of people throughout the world in much worse conditions and they keep fighting. Suicide is hands down the most selfish thing a human being can do. Maybe all the people in Africa should threaten suicide so their countries help them out more, right?

  • @RossS1990 Just fuck you, you nancy.

  • @RossS1990 You are a fucking moron.

  • @AveragePope And why is that?

  • @RossS1990 "Nothing is ever bad enough to commit suicide." I hope you don't learn the hard way how sickeningly untrue that statement is.

  • @AveragePope Maybe you can give me an idea of how it is?

    What about these 300 people's families?

  • @RossS1990 For millions of us, life is an excruciating nightmare that can only end through death. You seem like a nice guy and so I apologize for my initial remark, but I hate living in world where suicide is treated like a selfish act. It is NOT a selfish act. It is reasonable response to extended mental, physical, and emotional pain. It is selfish of the families to force loved ones to live a life they didn't ask for, and DON'T WANT.

  • @AveragePope I'm truly sorry you feel that way. I can't imagine what could push someone so over the edge to go against every survival instinct in the body. I've had quite a bit of bad things in my life but I ALWAYS try to find a positive. To me decided that suicide is an option is forgoing every other option and decided that your life will never change, which is definitely not true, no matter what.

  • Reminds me of the Industrial Revolution when things like these went unnoticed or had no care for by the government. I also feels sad for this company and if I could do something about it I would.

  • They will do it. I guarantee this.. I've seen some sick websites on the bottom levels of the internet, where it shows mass suicide videos. And it's mostly asians. It's pretty sad, and I don't really know what can be done about it

  • it is up to the Microsoft to know where/what companys are making there product the 360. and it is up to Microsoft to change or fix something like this if they know about it. now of course they're probably going to say "we didn't know about this blah blah blah" and if they don't do anything about and keep making broken promises then Microsoft is a broken company or a corrupted company and the people running are shitheads and only care for the money

  • How is it possible to bring this justice? I say to be honest, some hacker should deffinately fuck over 360, like how we ps3 users were effected, I know I was pissed off and everything, but the fact that 360 users pay for live, will be a conflict of interest, because if live is down then there won't be as much of a consumer, less sales of live cards knowing that the live is down, but I shouldn't wish upon this on anyone cause it sucks getting hacked, but legit, something drastic needs to be done.

  • For what? Just to be able to be connected live? 360 and original Xbox was the first to make you pay, apart from computer based games, but that it extremely mess as they flourished with the original Xbox let alone 360, how much money is in their arsenal?!? Like they had done more than just Xbox, Microsoft word, and other programs for the computer, like fuck, all of that isn't cheap man,

  • That's fucking crazy! Really messed, yes Microsoft has a say in this and they do have some responsibility, they should always have this in the back of their heads, how much is one Xbox? 350 ish$?? Like fuckin Christ they should at least give em more than close to nothing! I care, 360 always have been cock suckers making you pay a fuck load...

  • Dont apply for a shit job and you need to land up in a scuiside net xD

  • microsoft are money grabbing twats , sony FTW

  • @CJMTactics

    srry ut all companies does this even Sony. microsoft are not the only one !

  • Suicide Catch Nets.

    wow lmao

  • Foxconn makes A LOT more than 360's.

  • Its not Microsoft's problem It's the foxconn CEO who doesn't care about it's workers.

  • @peterzhong1 if foxconn CEO doesn't care about its employees then he doesn't care about making good progress and money for the workers control the means of production.

  • @peterzhong1 Agreed, and I would like to expand on your comment. I'm a capitalist and proud of it, it creates jobs and growth. However big business needs to be moral and fair. I don't have a problem with rich CEOs that get bonuses on three conditions: Their employees have good wages and a healthy working environment, their company makes decent products that benefit consumers, they are not laying people off and or they are hiring people. Thumb me up if you agree.

  • FUCK YOU MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • foxconn is quite a famous motherboard factory for computers, just fyi

  • wow Microsofts, is a bunch of assholes wow

  • Actually PS3's and Apple products get their silicon manufactured at Foxconn. They're also responsible for supplying a number of computer manufacturers for motherboards. Just because you don't own a Xbox don't think you're not part of this.

  • Microsoft is just rich greedy bastards they just want the money they are gonna do any thing

  • capitalism

  • What the hell do you expect?! @ 3:50 Gunns, They DON'T Care! All they want is the Money!

  • @solarHAZE101 DUH its a fucking business.They're not going to cure fucking cancer.

  • @amadshadow No, it's not, and I said nothing about Cancer, It's simply FUCKED UP, they are greedy bastards with (Not meaning to refrence any movies) NO Regard for Human Life, I mean Suicide Nets?! What the Hell?

  • u tell um gunns

  • Pause at 0:33 for GUNNS jacking off.

  • @MrCash415 What is wrong with you all I said was they make sony and apple products I don't see how that can be fanboy. But judging from all the other comments you've said i'm beginning to think your crazy.

  • Comment removed

  • If microsoft starts paying them better the price will be 200 bucks though the biggest atraction of the Xbox is its low price.

  • They're both good systems, I just prefer the PS3. Watcha gunna dew about it.

  • And to think.. Australia have been selling Xbox's half price for $150. Wow.

  • Microsoft is worst than activision 

  • I am a Chinese I feel sad for this company and this news 100% real
