allso most of the time its down to heat problems so the 360 cannot be singled out since all consoles do itPi_Fighter said:

Biggest flaw is probobly trying and make them more of PC then Console.
I just dont see how can that turn out but fail

Adding BluRay to the PS3. All it did was make sure it'd be too expensive fo most people to want to buy, unless you desperately wanted one of the exclusive ps3 titles.
yes, because warranty is a magic word that makes RROD disappear. Warranty somehow fixes RROD so that it is no longer a hassle or a problem. Yay for warranty. I wish every company would extend warranty rather than actually FIXING THE F***ING PROBLEM.Pi_Fighter said:
Ring of death on the game disc, lost 3 games to that. Size and shape of the PS3, it's a George Foreman grill... But the worst is how the companies nickles and dimes you for anything, from online content to console hardware and repairs. Sure the 360 has some bad flaws but it doesn't make it crappy in anyway. The PC can still get millions types of viruses and it cost more to keep upgrading than consoles.
Yeah, I have read a lot about it.Tim Buck II said:

Actually, for you I won't bother.
People such as you are the reason that I was in doubt as to whether or not I should continue to use these forums.
It would seem that you are the metaphorical straw too many.

Do you have an idea?
PS3 Idle = 185W
PS3 Gaming = 199.7W
XBox 360 Idle = 176W
XBox 360 Gaming = 186W
9W difference idle
13W difference gaming
That's peanuts difference in the real world. Not even enough to light a room with the weakest bulb you can buy off the shelf, anyone who could actually notice a difference in their power consumption as a result of swapping an XBox 360 for a PS3 is quite simply talking out of their arse.
Red Ring of Death, Followed by the DVD-Rom failure rate of the first PS2s.. and then the 10-NES Code, requiring people to blow spit into their NES cartridges for years, because the system failed to recognize a game with the slightest bit of dust in it.
Controls, since consoles have existed.
It'd be so simple to put a trackball on a controller... but nooo, let's dumb down games so they can be played with joysticks. *sigh*

My major problem with my PC is that things work well, but sporadically. I love my PC and I would still get things for it if it worked consistently. My PS3 is always reliable.
I beg to differ. The later 360s have been updated. My Elite is approaching a year and a half now. I've beat the shit out of it. Its been at LAN parties with less-than-resposible gamers, it's been knocked off shelves (and no scratches on the disc), it's suffered power surges in unprotected outlets, I carry it around a lot, and it's been left running accidentally overnight at least half a dozen times. I don't know if I just got a good one or if the Elites are just better, or what, but the fucking thing is indestructible.iJosh said:
Now getting it right the second time around is no excuse for going a whole year with a 33% failure rate, but the problem is no longer as bad as it once was. Unless you buy used or refurbished. Especially from GameSlop. Then you're just asking for it.

given all that though, I feel the good outweighs the bad... and I dont own a console, theyre for kids.
