Get a Wii! I promise you WON'T be disappointed!
I'll get a new 360 and buy it from best buy. I heard they give you a 5 year warranty on high priced products or something.
I think you can only get up to a 3 year warranty.
not those who got a 46-inch HD for free...but thtas because sony produced so many for the launch.
220,000 just int he uk were there for launch.
i mean sony had 6 motnhs to stock up.
I know. That just makes the fanboys who queued overnight look even sillier
So you're saying a PS3 won't break?your x360 will break, so go with ps3
...
if you decided to get a x360 anyway, don't be surprised if it breaks, and just make sure you get a store warranty so that you can exchange it with a new one in the store, dont mess around with ms's warranty service, they'll send you a refurb one and it'll break again within 3 months
And what exactly makes him say that? Years of experience?I think he is just saying he is 100% sure the 360 will get the RoD eventually after getting it, while the PS3 will last much longer.
although the 360 is pretty badly put together, its still classes better than sony's consistent standard of disposable consoles.your x360 will break, so go with ps3
sure it has no games now, but that'll change in the fall, they have like 6 exclusives coming and they have something for everyone
online: warhawk, haze, socom
offline adventure: heavenly sword, uncharted, rachet and clank
casual: singstar, home

or,
you can get a RRoD x360 on ebay for $160 or so, then do an x-clamp replacement surgery, it's pretty simple but it might take you a day if you're not used to it, if you could fix it you got yourself a $160 x360, if it doesnt work, call microsoft and you might be able to get a working replacement for $140 ($140 + $160 = $300, same thing right?)
you can find the xclamp guide here:

So you're saying a PS3 won't break?
I can say SO FAR that ps3 failure rate is well within normal range, but not x360
And the X360 is sure to break? Total and complete hardware failure is inevitable?ÂÂ
as long as they are using the x-clamp design, YES total hardware failure is inevitable (unless you never turn it on of course)
Or are you saying Sony's customer service is that much better than Microsoft's?
considering sony has never make someone gone through 5+ consoles within 2 years of console life, the answer would be YES
And what exactly makes him say that? Years of experience?Â
it's called knowledge, or maybe you can say "research"
do it yourself:

Yes, yes, yes, we've seen the cases, but what's the percentage? Is it over 60%? Or is it a few percent? What are the odds?You know... the proofs are all over the net, you can youtube it and you'll see a lot of them, including the towel trick and such, it'll be forever if I list all of them, and if you didnt believe me in the 1st place listing all of them would be pointless anyway

guh, sony's reign is only a testament to people's ignorance, the PS2 was built like shit. and I doubt a single PS2 lived through its um "lifespan" without breaking down atleast oncealthough the 360 is pretty badly put together, its still classes better than sony's consistent standard of disposable consoles.
how long did the PS2 reign before a replacement? compared to the xbox
PS2: 6 years
XBOX:4 years
they still make ps2's,
disposable consoles??
