Can we all agree now that the 360 was a design disaster?

The PS3 was alwasy quieter than the 360, didn't have the ridiculous power brick, and in it's slim incarnation has both CPU and GPU at 45nm. The 360 by comparision has suffered an abnormally high failure rate, has a huge power brick and ridiculously bulky power connector. The worst hardware revisions sound like a jet taking off, and even the Jasper revision is far from being 'quiet'.

Yes the 360's design was a disaster but what isnt is the fact that its still better than a ps3.

first 2 comments are fanboys....what a disaster

yep and we can also agree 360 will never have the sales like ps3 ds and wii and psp have in japan ! 360 is like selling a dead console in japan-looks at ps2 sales compared to 360 lol their similar but the difference is ps2 ia 10 yrs old and 360 is half that

and is still getting wide support !

Better how? At failing, at not playing blu ray movies, at not allowing free online play? Or maybe better graphics. What is it you mean

the thing i hate the most on my 360 is the power brick. other than that its fine.

It wasn't a disaster, just kinda faulty. A disaster would be the Virtual boy.

The great thing about:

-120GB HDD

-Intalled like 6 of my mainly played games

All of that = i hear nothing from my fan....

And you guys WONDER why the ps3 is quiter (mandatory installs)

only if we can agree that the ps2 was just as bad, and seemingly the ps3 as well

whenever I here someone play a 360 I feel like im at an airport.

Anything with 360s failure rate would be something to be ashamed of if you are the designer.

At least it's not overpriced. BloodSeeker1337

It started off at 599, and after three years it's still more than 100 dollars more than it's competitors. So yes, it is in comparison. HoolaHoopMan

its not over priced for what you get.

its too expensive yes, but not overpriced

Thats why i build my own systems.

[QUOTE="HoolaHoopMan]

Only now could you say it isn't overpriced. In years past, it was easily overpriced considering the library in comparison.

the library is kind of irrelevant as to whether the hardware is overpriced or not.

over priced would be if the ps3 still had a standard dvd drive and no hdd and debuted at $600.

like i said it was 'too' expensive not over priced
