I only have a PS3, but it's very reliable. No problems at all so far.

I had to send my 360 for repairs the day before Halo 3 came out. I pre-ordered the limited edition and I went nuts when my 360 got the RRoD. I had to take my copy of Halo 3 and play at my neighbors house untill i got my Xbox back :P

We all know that hes one of the biggest sony fanboys on this site, but we just go with it :P

He hates 360 so much youd think that maybe someone who made the 360 had stolen his GF or something. Cuz he hates M$ like no one else :P

But hes a fan of Oldboy, so i overlook the silly fanboy stuff :P

Yeah as if he needed this thread anyways. I mean I could've sworn he said he just got his PS3 in December. A little too soon to be talking about a console not breaking down on you.

I've got a 360 and PS3 and I have to admit that his sig pic is pretty funny. Then again, I'm a huge 2001 fan. Anyways, my 360 just got the E74 error Saturday during a session of Fable 2. It didn't bother me too much because I thought it was still under warranty, but when I looked it up the warranty expired a week and a half ago. Also, my PS3 is running fine. And, I never had problems with my DS or PSP before I sold them either.

This poll is useless, since all the ps3 fanboys are gonna choose the first option and all the xbox 360 fanboys are gonna choose the second option. I myself havent had to repair any console yet.

No, well not yet. I keep getting the E74 message when I turn on my 360 though. I just reset it and it seems to work.

MGS4 bricked my 40 GB's disc drive with its awsomeness. :cry: But I took it to best buy, and I got and 80 GB with a Dualshock 3, so it worked out pretty well. All I lost was my HDD content but that was all easily replaced. It gave me an excuse to play through all of my games again!. :D

My PS3 had a blue ray drive failure,and sony wants $150.00 to repair it. I am unemployed so I am stuck with PS2 and XBOX. And I have had both those types of consolesbreak on me,so I learned how to fix them myself,I would do that with the PS3 but i do not have the parts and they are complex. Sad to say,though I do not like it,I think the more advanced consoles get the more frequent this will get with all the consoles regardless of brand.

Just my two cents.

Part of me feels this is just an underhanded way of bashing the RROD problem on the X360.

I bought every console at launch.

My Launch Wii Works, both my launch 60gig PS3's work, but for my 360,

I have had RROD 3 times (It seems to hit about once a year, let's hope this year I get a break). I also had E74 one time.

I don't think SW is a good place for a poll, you will have people lie saying no RROD, and people lie saying they had RROD.

Also, I have a network of friends (5 buds) that have PS3's/360's....they have all had the RROD bug at one point as well.

My PS3 stopped reading discs sometime around last September.

Total time from it breaking to me getting it back from Sony was about a week. I'd hate to think how things would've played out if it wasn't still under warranty, though.

My 3 Years is almost up and nothing on my 360. Kinda makes me worry about what may happen to it after April 2nd. :? waynehead895
I feel for ya dude. My roomies launch Pro has been fine, so has my ex=roomies Elite. However, at a good friends house they have/had 3 XBoxes on different TVs, and I kid you not, all 3 broke down at the same time. I don't mean simultaneously, but I mean within 3-4 days of eachother. Only one of them was RROD too, which is really crazy. Of the broken ones, one was scratching/not reading discs and the other just completely died. No power, no lights, nothing. His warranty was up so he let a buddy tinker with it. He fixed it somehow, it worked for two days, then it just died an abrupt, silent death. I would assume if your 360 made it this far it should be okay, but you never know. Good luck, I really mean that.

I feel really bad for the 360 owners, because unlike them everyone else gets to play their anticipated games the first day they get it. No really, I do feel bad, everyone has the rights to enjoy something they paid hundreds of dollars for, even if the repair is free and stuff, precious time is wasted regardless.

Got the RROD last year. And it was right when I realized I had a friend with a truck load of 360 games who is kind enough to let me borrow any one I want. I was sad. Luckily, he has a truck load of PS3 games for me to borrow now that I have one of those.

My Wii has died and needed to be sent in for repair and my PS3 keeps corrupting the files on the harddrive so it to is basically dead. I mostly just use it as an overly expensive blu-ray player now.

I had to return my PS3 because it kept freezing up on me all the time and my controllers would lose connection. They ended up sending me a different PS3 and no problems with this one yet.

Mr_Apple_Soup

Nintendo charges ridiculous repair fees for their systems. 70$ for handheld screen?

When my gamecube stopped reading discs last gen it only cost me 40$.
