List of consoles I've owned

Segas Master system
Genesis
SNES
PS1
PS2
N64
Gamecube
Wii
Xbox
Xbox 360
DS

Out of all those the only one to break down is the 360, it's now out of warranty and they want me to pay £85 to get it fixed. If Halo 3 doesn't impress me at E3, I'm selling the 360 games (10) and hard drive and throwing the console in the bin and getting a PS3. I can't deal with these three red lights anymore, it's killed all enjoyment for me with Xbox 360. You don't know when the problem will strike, it's a lottery when you turn on your 360 and that's not worth the hassle.

Worst console ever made?, it has to be. Name one other console that gets to hot in normal conditions and breaks the solder around the GPU, killing your console. MS still haven't fixed the damn problem, Elite is the same, and even repaired console break at a alarming rate. How can you enjoy 360 when you know your console is a ticking time bomb?. Halo 3 may be good, but if you have to play it on the worst hardware ever I don't see how you can enjoy it.

I completely understand the TC position..... although I havent had any major problems myself, I am expecting my 360 to just not work for no apparent reason in the future.

PS. But I take care of my ****, my 360 doesnt move, it sits still with at least a couple inches on every side to allow it to breathe, but still I worry!

Hey man, I agree that you should be able to buy a game console, and not have to worry about all this breaking down, red lights of death, and blowing up. I really don't get why after their 360's fail 3, 4, 5 times, they still continue to get the system. Out of what? System loyalty? I don't see how you can be loyal to a company that clearly doesn't respect it's customers and it shows this by creating faulty hardware and not properly addressing the problems. For Games? Yes there may be some good games, but just as you said, you can't really enjoy them if you're worried about your system breaking right in the middle of them.

Same here, I've owned almost every major console available and yet the only one that has ever broke has been the 360. Not once, but three times in just over half a year. This thing shouldn't even be on the market.

I've been buying consoles for twenty years, I've never seen a console so badly made as the 360, mine is sitting here busted and out of warranty, I don't really have the will to give it another chance as MS refuse to admit there is a serious problem so it won't go away.

I might sell everything and just get a PS3 to go with my Wii. I'll miss Halo 3 but MS are killing any enjoyment I'm having with the system anyway. Check out my gamertag, NickJD to see the tons of games I've played on my 360, if MS want to screw me over then i don't see why I should keep supporting this broken system.

Yeah, if my 360 dies.... I may just jump ship and become a COW.... god forbid. But man I hope that doesnt happen.... as, imo, the 360 has a much better line up of games.

I had a PS2 that had a DRE, and sony wanted $200 to fix it. Atleast MS will fix the damned things for free within a year.

I really hope yours breaks. It'd be teh funny. You probably wouldn't admit it if it did though. And I don't know why people always pop in to say "My 360 works!". As if it somehow disproves that the 360 is faulty or something.

This defense is a bit nonsensical as well. That you had a worse experience with your PS2 makes the 360 situation good? No, not really.

Insane: It wasn't a defense. I was just saying that my PS2 was more faulty than my 360.
