I don't think the Xbox is really having the Red Ring problems on the newer models. On a side note though my father's PS3 just died. When he cuts it on the main screen never loads. He only used it for Blu-Ray which means he did not use hardly at all. Expect when ever I would loan him a game. Anyone ever heard of anything like that?

No, not really. PS3's can break too. Not at the same rate, but don't let the RROD stop you from getting a 360.

as far as i know all the Jasper 360s are fixed

and its not like you DON'T get it fixed for free if it DOES break

it should always come down to which games you want to play

Not really, but my girlfriend's brother's cousin's boyfriend's dad had his 360 RROD on him. He only used it as a heater during the winter besides the time his microwave stopped working :).

Yes way it's worth it. The PS3 is a 10 years system, It'll will out live the competition by years.

Personally I'm waiting til a few more good games come out then hopefully by that timeI can afford to get a PS3. If Kingdom Hearts 3 was announced as a PS3 exclusive thats it for me, I will go out and buy one. Plus several other games, because who buys a system just for one game -_-

But 360 is kinda worth it, apart from the fact that my copy of GTA 4 somehow got scratched to oblivion even though I only slightlymy my 360 whilst it was on, which is BS because I've knocked over my Wii several times while playing Brawl and it is still in good condition, yet a slight jolt can destroy my copy of GTA 4??

I really should blog this, but blogging is pointless.

I have heard many times that all (most) 360 are reliable now. If true, the diference is not worth it

As a owner of both systems here is my view...


Firstly, don't let this RROD unreliability cloud your judgement, within the first few months of owning my PS3 the laser stopped working - its easy to get caught up and think that the PS3 is 100% reliable, but in reality NOTHING is.


When I called Sony Support about the problem, I was issued an immediate replacement the next day - absolutley fantastic service, beats Microsofts stupid 30 day fix/replace procedure... so despite the dissapointment with the broken laser I was really happy that it got sorted really quickly.

RROD - My first xbox console has probably been returned 3 times, its just a ticking time-bomb every time it comes back... eventually I decided to get a new one with the JASPER chipset, and my oh my is it soo much cooler than my old 360, stability has vastly improved, provided you get a JASPER chipset you reliability is greatly improved!

Initially I bought my PS3 for blu-ray, I couldn't care less about its games, the library didnt interest me at all back then, all my games were on the 360.

Eventually I started to resent buying the PS3, I started thinking... does it really have all this power, is it really 'that' amazing? We all know that most dev's did a rubbish job on the multi-platform games, most came out better on 360....

and then.... I bought MGS4, WOW........ what a beautiful game..... I loved every second of it and it made me realise just how much of a beast the PS3 truly is, there was one part (a cutscene) where Snake was wearing a head mask that I had originally attached whilst playing.... but the custscene just looked like pure pre-rendered CGI, but it couldn't be because of the mask that I could see on his face.... at that point I could see the potenital of the PS3, games like Uncharted only futher prove this point.

So, is the PS3 worth the extra money? ..... the PS3 is no slouch, when they say its powerful they are right but it all comes down to software... I think its getting a lot better but I honestly think the 360 wins when its comes to the game library.

Don't forget that with the PS3 you also get wireless etc thrown in and free online play - even though in my OPINION xbox live gold is far superior but at a cost.

The 360 will always be tarred with his RROD syndrome, but these days (especially with the newer models) it really isn't that bad anymore.

The 360 is without a doubt, the worst peice of crap i have ever purchased. It's just so, so poorly designed, sounds like a train, and is prone to crashing, slowdown, and other annoying things. My PS3 however, runs like a dream. Never had a single problems (With this model)

because of rrod on 360 do you think ps3 price more expensive is worth for it?ModNationRacer

No, but I do think it is worth it for Wifi, free online, rechargable controlers, and Blu-Ray.

I mean the extra cost in the PS3 is justified IMO. You get things included that cost extra money on the 360.

You mean the 360 doesn't have Wi-Fi, doesn't have HD content and can't even recharge it's controllers? What are they, one use?

You have to buy the non-essentials seperate with the 360. WiFi and re-chargable power packs not included. You use standard AA batterys for the 360 controller, unless you buy a re-chargable power pack. It's a good idea in my opinion, i don't NEED them things, so i shouldnt have to pay for them, and if i decide i do want them i can buy them when im ready. Still, the 360 is a bag of crap.

So that's why it's outselling the PS3. I guess it's Sony's marketing staff that should be beheaded now.

Wifi, rechargeable controllers, are not built into the 360, they ust be bought on their own.

i don't think it's the faulty hardware of the 360 that makes the ps3 worth it. it is mainly if you want the bluray drive, or if you are planning on getting live and a wireless adapter tehn they work out pretty similar in price. it's just expensive.
