After 2 full years of great fun and gaming...

...it finally crapped out on me.

Tried playing Call of Duty 4 earlier when I got this instead. I'll need to send the machine back to the shop for repairs and probably get a new console back, but that's not the point of this topic.

Should I get another console? At this point in time, I've only been a Nitendo DS / Xbox 360 / PC gamer and don't have the Wii or a PS3. Should I sell my refurbished 360 when I get it back (however long that may be) for a new console, or should I stick with it for now?

Keep in mind, however, that I still have about 11 months on my Xbox Live gold account and I got 9 Xbox 360 games as well. If I do return it and get a new Xbox 360, however, I might be walking into another RRoD again.

Thoughts?

The MGS4 bundle would be a rather astute choice I think :)The-Big-Easy

TC, unless you can afford both, do what this fellow says. ^^^

As long as your choice lets you have access to Resident Evil 5 and Soul Calibur 4 when they come out, I can't say that you'd make a wrong choice.

Chances are, I'll be either buying a 360 or a PS3 since many Wii titles don't interest me.

Just kind of wondering what people here think I should do.

I also should make it known that many of my friends have an Xbox 360 as well and play online daily with me, so getting a PS3 may isolate me from my friends. A PS3, however, doesn't have any major hardware issues and has got a lot of good upcoming games on it's side.

THIS IS a gREaT time for a RROD.

It totally just proves how lousy the 360 is !

Go get ps3 and mgs4 !

your friends are more important. at least, if they're good friends. if that's the case, then you may want ot stick with it.

I would get a PS3, if for no other game, MGS4. I'm not suggesting you sell your 360, but you need to get a PS3.

When I got the RROD, I didnt sell my 360 but I saved up for a PS3. I dont regret it, at all.

send it for repairs or get xbox 360 elite, if you dont wanna do that then get 40 gig ps3 (if you wanna polay some ps2 games then get 80 gig)

Honestly, I would keep the 360 and save up for the other two. But that is just me.SpruceCaboose

Just wait for the 360 to comeback. There is no reason to go and buy another console.-Sphere-

I think we should leave system wars for a week and let the cows have their fun. No one is making any sense in this thread

That answers the question IMO playing w/ friends makes for endless enjoyment. Keep the 360 when it comes back and save up for a ps3. Also even with selling your games you will probably not get alot of $.

If you live with your parents just tell them that you are saving for a ps3 and they may buy one come christmas or your b-day. Also get a job or do mini-jobs. Don't beg, instead devote yourself to your cause.
