I always thought the possibility of it happening to anyone was an exaggeration...until it happened to me about a week ago. My 360 froze during team slayer, and I had to send it in. To be honest, I think the whole event has only made me like xbox more. The service on repair has been better than I expected, and as I brace myself for three weeks with nothing but a PSP and a DS, I am starting to realize that no matter how many times I have thought "Maybe I should have gotten a PS3 or Wii" the 360 was always the right choice.
Sure, each of those systems has some good games, especially the Wii, and they offer other features that I would like. But if Microsoft had said "Sorry, the broken 360's your problem" I would have gone out and bought a new one. Why? I don't think I could ever enjoy myself with the games of either of the other consoles now that I have experienced 360. The best versions of most multiplats, not to mention the earliest in some cases, great online play, and more exclusives worth playing than anyone else. Sure, the issue with breakage and losing my box for a month sucks, but it has really brought to my attention that RROD aside, I think the 360 is still the best console. Thoughts?
