Two of my friends that have 360's have had their systems break down in the past month, the latest victim of the RROD happened just 2 days ago.

The funny things is that both of them ragged on me for going out and buying a PS3, now they are complaining how crap the 360 is.

How can a system that has upwards to a 50% failure rate be considered better than the PS3??

Not only that, but the PS3 comes with the complete package, built in Wi-Fi, free online and a blu-ray player while 360 has none of those things....and breaks down to boot!

People say well, the 360 has more exclusives or more game selection, but none of those games are worthy enough to merit buying a 360 when it fails so bad at being a good reliable system.

PS3 wins in my opinion.

****ing hell, there's no need for such an arrogant thread title. And PS3's break down a lot too, it's yet another crappy, unreliable Sony product. Just look in the PS3 forums. There's disc drive failures, YLOD's and firmware updates that completely brick the console.

This thread fails miserably.

The ps3 is awesome, it's a great system with some of the greatest games ever! However, the 360, regardless of my first one breaking, has the best jrpgs, shooters, online games this year.

Anyone with the slightest bit of intelligence can see a $199 360 with the largest game library is better than the $400 PS3.

Sure, it is better hardware-wise but in the end, software matters.

ROFL, my friend has a modded 360 with over 80 games, all the best ones, yet only plays about 3 of them consistently. The "more games, better elusives" argument fails miserably unless you have no life outside of video games :(

Since his warrenty is void he had to pay 80 bucks to get it fixed then it broke down again!

It's all about personal opinions... some will like the 360's games, whereas some will like the PS3's games (most games are on both anyways). Some like the 360 hardware, some like PS3's. Personally, IMO, the failure rate of the 360 is horrible & unnacceptable & I hate it that Microsoft is being rewarded for making a faulty product. Gamers should be pissed off at Microsoft, but alot seem to accept it. Not me!

Again, what matters is the games and not necesseraly the console. The Xbox 360 has the games.... so does the PS3 but it has much less then the Xbox.

First off the 360 now has 65nm cpus and it uses less power and less heat. Also with the new dashboard the 360 can now have games installed on the HD lessening power and noise which means less chance for RROD. Now any console thats on for several hours a day and if that goes on for months then of course it'll cause porblems. The 360 is better. Costs less, more games, better third party games, better online experience, and is becoming more reliable as time goes by. Even if RROD occurs MIcrosoft fixes it for free.

I'm not trying to bash the 360 or it's users, I'm bashing the fact that people can still claim it's the best system when the thing breaks down so much, some people have had theirs break down multiple times, have had to send it away for weeks only to have it break down again.

Good i hope his Xbox keeps breaking. And just because your friend only plays 3 games that means that everyone only plays 3 games? And let me guess two of those games he plays are Halo 3 and Gears 2?

He doesn't play Halo, he doesn't like it but he does play Gears 2 since it's still fairly new. He's not much into shooters anyways. I don't know the other two games he plays but he told me that the more games that are available the less he plays them.

I learned that from having a PS2, so many games, so little time to play them all.

I respect your opinion, but I've had my PS2 since it first came out (the original one, not the slim) and I have had no problems with it, but then again I took good care of it.

I know people who got a 360 at launch and still have it and never got RROD.  It can be easily prevented by limiting play time.

The first one had DRE and sony never fixed it the second one it's laser died (because of the sheer use it got :P )

the third one was a slim and overheated

 

i still use my second PS2 to play PS1 games (the PS2 uses a different laser for PS1 games)

 

but overall they were all well treated, never left their place, they just.... died

i have a 360 for over a year now, never had any problems (and it's not a falcon 360)

I'm not making it up, actually I got the 50% figrue from my friend who owns a 360 that broke down the other day. I knew it was around 30%, then he said that he read somewhere that it's probably somewhere closer to 50% and that MS has lost close to $2 billion on broken 360s.

Ya actually the very first PS2 I bought came from Walmart and did have a laser problem since it wouldn't read certain games but I took it back to the store and they gave me another one and it worked fine ever since.

When the PS3 first came out I was pissed that it cost so much and was thinking about getting a 360 but I knew of the RROD issue and didn't want to make the transition to the 360 controller, I found the original xbox contoller too bulky and was accustomed to the PS2 desgin so I waited for the PS3 price drop and got the PS3 the day the price went down.

If MS would fix the RROD issue I would probably pick one up.

wow so if ww dont agree with you we are dumb lol way to defend your point and i think the fact that they still want their 360s stands as a testament to how much better they think is than the ps3. yeah i had more than 1 xboxs break on me but i would still choose the 360 over the ps3 anyday.

Oh I'm not saying all 360s break down, yet everyone I know who has one has had the RROD issue except for one (luckily), but then again I only know about 5 people with one .

It does make sense to limit playing time regardless of the over-heating issue, but my friends are pragmatic and tend to deal with those things as they come up, in which case it's too late and it overheats.
