Sorry Microsoft, when it comes to the Red Rings of Doom, the third times a charm.

At this very moment, as I scan the GS forums, I am playing Uncharted on my new PS3.:) I no longer own a working 360. I do not have any "immeadiate" plans to again replace my defunct 360. I lack the desire to send it in for repairs.

Anyway, I would like to say that you will not start to hear me dog the 360 franchises, which I still hold dear. However, my console or platform allegiance now lies almost soley with Sony while Nintendo and the everpresent, always faithfulPC take up the rest of that domain.

Anywho, what major news have I missed?, I haven't posted in about 4 weeks.

This sounds more like a blog, I'm not sure why a topic needed to be created.

There is a little tab at the top right of this page that says news. You should find what you need there.

I don't hate the 360, I haven't even gotten rid of my 23 360 titles yet. First in case I ever get another 360, which I'm sure I eventually will, and second for nostalgia reasons. I am a modest collector after all.

Anyway I still like the 360, I'm just tired of them repeatedly breaking down. As a "serious" and long time gamer, I know how to properly take care of a system. I treated my 360s with as much TLC as I could and they still let mae down.:(

Oh well, in all honesty, I'm having too much fun with Unchartered to care right now.:P

Why don't you send it in to get fixed, instead of have a $300-$400 paperweight lying around?

I still own all 23 of my 360 games. I know I'll get opne eventually but right now I just don't feel like it I guess. I may save up for the "360 Ultra-Mega-Supreme with a Teraflop Hard-drive" that will probably come out next year.:P

I did.

I got tired of my 360 freezing on me, got a PS3, but came back to the 360. Mainly because the PS3 has no RPGs aside from Oblivion and Folklore. There doesn't seem to be many RPG in the future either, with only White Knight Chronicles and The Last Remnant expecting to be out in 2008.

i've almost always liked the underdog consoles the best (except for gc and xbox and).

Genesis, N64, DC, and now PS3.

theres just something special about it.

Your going to be pissed when you see how un-replayable Uncharted is without multi-player. Gears came out a year ago and is still better in every aspect.

Keep it in the blog fakeboy. RROD is a big problem, but it's not as serious as most people put it. It's called a WARENTY people. You're not going to die waiting for it to come back fixed. The loss is all yours because the new falcon chips just came out.

I understand. I remember when I got the RRoD, I was so angry and wanted a PS3. But once the 360 came back in 3 weeks, I never thought about buying that paperweight PS3 ever again.

^That's basically what the title of this thread says. Now that you feel super cool and you think everyoone in the world cares about this massive earthshaking event, I'm going to go get on Xbox Live and play Halo 3 and CoD4 on my launch version 360 that has worked perfectly for 2 years.
