At this point, 360 again or PS3?

Okay, here's the deal. Until last year I had a 360, loved it until it broke twice in about a month. Sold all the 360 stuff I had for a PS3 because it supposedly had more reliable hardware. My PS3 just died for the second time since november. I an either

• Sell some games and get a refurb with another 90 day warranty that'll probably break
• Can basically sell all my games and get a new PS3 40 gb model with a 2 year warranty from Best Buy
• Can sell all my PS3 stuff, inluding the refurbished console, and get another 360 with a few games, XBL subscription and the accessories I need.

What should I do? I think the PS3 is far superior, has better features, and better exclusives, but Msoft has better, faster online, and when the consoles break, they don't **** you over, and you get a fresh warranty with your new console.

What should I do???

So let me get this straight. Your only looking at the Xbox 360 because of better and faster online? Easy choice then.

Fix the PS3 and buy a warranty? Can't you do that?

I went back and forth on this for months. i had both for a bit. I chose the 360. IT's better to me and I don't regret it. But everyone is different. It sounds to me like you are leaning towards ps3 so I would probably go that way.

My opinion was I was kind of disapointed with the ps3 to be honest though. Once all these exclusives actually come out that might be different but in the meantime i'll be enjoying all the games coming out for the 360. I dont think the ps3 has better exclusives right now. That's the thing. MS's announcements this E3 pretty much put the nail in the coffin for the ps3 for me for at least another year. The only advantage it really has is free online although its not better. That's my opinion though..

oyu barley like anything about the 360, get the ps3

keep the ps3 out in the open. for god's sake, putting consoles in litle cupboards KILLS THEM! so do blankets, and covering up those noisy holes on the side, and leaving them on in little cupboards with blankets covering the little noisy holes on the side. you shouldn't buy another console, you clearly kill them with a sledgehammer.

I had my ps3 out in the open with more than ample space on all sides, and it still stopped reading discs. It happens, most of the time through no fault of the owner.

It was still under warranty for like another week, though, so Sony fixed it for free, and gave me a 3 month warranty when they sent it back. But that expired a long time ago, so if it breaks again I'm screwed.

That stinks, dude. I remember when you switched to PS3. I've had both consoles break on me multiple times. RROD's with 360 and DRE's with PS3. It blows.

Just get the console you enjoyed the most during the time you had it, because no matter which one you go for, it'll most likely suffer the same fate,

Man, I think you should investigate the area that you store your consoles in. At this point, you've broken 4 consoles from two different manufacturers. You're doing something wrong. Anyways, you say that the PS3 has more features and all the games you want. Seems like an open and shut case to me.Senor_Kami

Incase you pick a PS3.http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=1382705

An 80gb PS3 + Killzone 2 for $340 (I think that's without tax though, not sure)

oh, you still have the old one. Well I don't know what to tell you. That really sucks.

I wish I had stats on the hardware failures of specific models of the ps3/xbox 360.
