I just realized something

So my Xbox 360 has recently developed something of an annoying habit. Whenever I play for longer than an hour or two, it just freezes up on me. Not quite as bad as RROD, but still irritating. After having this happen more times than I can count I started thinking, "hey, my PS3 never freezes up like this! XBox 360 is the suxxorz!". Until I realized exactly why the PS3 never froze on me.

I never turn it on! Thing can't freeze if it's not on ;).

OK that's a bit of an exaggeration. I do turn it on sometimes. Like the hour or so I played Killzone 2 (then promptly returned to the 360 for more Gears action). Or maybe that one time a few months ago when I watched a Blu-Ray movie, then decided it wasn't all that different from a regular DVD. But I find it amusing that for a moment there I almost lost faith in my 360. Of course it's going to develop problems, since I use the console pretty much every day!

Although I do wonder, do any of you who actually use your PS3 ever get those kinds of issues? I don't play on the thing long enough to have any data to say either way, but I have noticed that heavy use of my 360 causes all sorts of annoying glitching like the stupid frozen console thing.

My Wii's also never developed this problem, but then again it's not usually me that plays on my Wii (ironically enough it's my parents).

So its kind of like a milage thing your saying? I know a guy with two 360's and he keeps one of them on all the time now (at least two straight weeks) because that one gets rrod. So what he did was got it to start up without the three lights and just leaves it on all the time. Been working so far although he just got his shipping box so off it will go.

Blu-Ray is far better on a HDTV. Once you go Blu- you don't go back.
