since all the 360 owners are on there 3rd and 4th units, I was wondering how many PS3 owners had to send their units back because of defect?

im pretty sure a ps3 owner has sent one back due malfuctions. but the number ones being returned must be low, because i have not seen thread aobut it.

I'm still on my first 360. And no, so far it looks like the hardware problems that plaqued the PS2 have been fixed for the PS3.

Not many since there seems to be a lot of gamers who still need to get their 1st unit. Eventually.

man, you're on borrowed time. You only have 2 hours of gaming left. That console is outdated already anyway. Spend 450 on the new one when yours breaks

I've gone through 2 Xbox360s. I'm still on my original PS3. If you're trying to prove a point, everyone knows it already. The PS3 is better than the Xbox360 in terms of reliability. That doesn't mean it's the better console however.

You know, this was the same argument lemmings and sheep used to denote the ps2, and guess which console won? The one with all the breaking systems sold.

Okay, I'll give you that. But if you compare a functioning Xbox360 to a functioning PS3, I'm pretty sure you can find a few areas where the Xbox360 beats the PS3.

I have a box of rocks. It's never broken down in 20 years, obviously marking it as the superior console. -John

Instead of getting so defensive, you should realize that I agree with you that the PS3 is a more reliable console. Find a Lemming to jump on. I'm on your side for this argument. Genius.

All 360 owners huh?

I don't understand why they allow flamebaiting on in these forums like this... they should do an instigator rule like they do in hockey

I see a problem with your logic. I too have a launch 360 and it still works fine. Why is it the majority of the 360 owners never have a problem but the ones that have them brake are on their 3rd and 4th ones? Maybe they don't know how to take care of their things. Same thing could be said about last gen, I had my PS2 for 5yrs and it still worked till I sold it and got the PS3.

"all the 360 owners"? You need to get your facts straight man, I haven't had a single problem with my launch 360 and neither have any of my friends.

The 360 has sold 5x as many units as the PS3 and has been out for a year longer. That there would be a greater number of faulty 360s than PS3s at this point does not require a statistics expert to discern. Apples to oranges really.

I'll just claim mine on insurance and buy a new elite one if it breaks down in the future, a warranty means nothing when you can simply bypass it buy a new one and then get another 2yr warranty.

That's loyalty. :) I'm on my 3rd as well (both free replacements via Best Buy warranty) but I prefer the PS3. No experience with MS customer support but the Best Buy warranty gets two thumbs up!
