XBOX 360 Question

And of course the token 360 > PS3

That's so false, I don't even know where to begin.

They're about on par right now and it pretty much boils down to the exclusive game franchises you like, or the new emerging franchises.

The extra hardware cost of the PS3 can easily be justified for the blu-ray player.

While the PS3 may lose a few points in the exclusive titles department, it makes up for with free online play versus having to pay for a yearly subscription.

It really depends on what you want out of the system.

I own both consoles, and love both. The failure rate of the Xbox 360 (that's not even factoring in the annoying and abundant disc read errors... know how frustrating it is to spend an hour trying to beat a boss, you finally beat him, then get a disc read error at the cutscene before it saves?) and the requirement of a yearly payment online are my two biggest gripes with the platform as a whole.

My orginal 360 took a dump on me "ring of death" and flashed the three red lights. It was a hardware failure on Microsofts part and they sent me a brand new 360. I haven't had any problems with the new one. I like the 360 and now you can get them for $200. I don't like having to pay for a yearly subscription to xbox live though.

Same thing happened to me and no problems here either. I'll PM you tomorrow when both of our 360's crap out tonight, because we jinxed ourselves.

I made a comment on how my Xbox had been running fine. No issues. It just must be how people treat them or what not.

2 weeks later, it was RRODing.

I think you two sealed the fate of your 360's. The only way to prevent failure is to accept it LOL.

Accepted the fate. Good thing I've had it less than the 3 year warranty though!
