[QUOTE="Truth-slayer"][QUOTE="Cronaroth"]im returning it to get a PS3 officially. And I will own another 360 once the 'zephyr' is out cause I want that 120GB hard drive (I just read an article about it today in Game Informer...) so hello PS3, Au revoire 360-we shall meet again in the futureJDW_games
Good choice.

Bad choice. You'll be sorry and wish you had the 360 back.

He's going to be getting another soon enough. Then he'll have both and tons of fun.

to be honest-no I wont (miss the 360 for the period I dont have one)-I just have not been that impressed...ive found myself playing my older consoles far more often-at this point I feel over suffocated by the FPS selection on 360-I simply do not enjoy Bioware games much at all, and Blue Dragon watching some gameplay is looking disappointing...Halo is cool...I'll get a 360 again but the Zephyr is much more worth my time and im sick of fighting with my console. Choice made-now I am going to exercise it probably in the next month or two....

All I am saying is, you won't be impressed with the PS3 either. I have played both quite a bit. Why spend $600 on a PS3 when they are falling so far behind? I would be sure that Sony is sticking around for a long time and they aren't going to continue to lose games to the other big 2 companies before forking out the cash.

first of all-I liked Sony's customer service better-it's always been better to me so they already have impressed me in that regard. Second-I already like what's coming out for it already better- and if more moves over to 360 afterwards? whatever-at least I know i have better tech support backing me if I have a problem.

Ive had many problems with my X360 ever since ive had mine and have had a horrible experience with MS tech support and am sick of it and am considering going PS3...im aware PS3 does not have many good games at the moment but it's upcoming exclusives are beginning to appeal to me more since the X360 to me seems overly saturated with shooters. What are your thoughts?Cronaroth

overly saturated with shooters? what about all the RPGs: oblivion, lost odyssey, blue dragon, eternal sonata, fable 2, too human

Why bother going through another REFURBISHED 360 that will probably break down on you again? Go with the Sony PS3. It won't let you down. Btw, don't listen to the haters. The PS3 was barely launched only a few months ago. The games will come and the PS3 will grow in popularity no matter what some lemmings think. Go with your gut instinct on this one.

If the problems are keeping you from playing games then do something now. If not, just keep the 360 for a few months, play the games on it that are great, then swap it in to go toward a PS3 purchase once there are more PS3 games available that interest you. Or just keep it and buy a PS3 to go right next to it.

mwa

 Oblivion is about the only non-shooter I care about on it-Eternal Sonata just doesnt look that good to me,I didnt like Fable 1, and Too Human doesnt click with me- Lost Odyssey looks like another Dynasty Warriors type game from watching the trialer....about the only game I really am interested in is Blue Dragon.

Do I really need to explain to you what I meant? I never said I stated nothing but facts.... The facts that I stated were that 360's fail on gamers all the time. It's also true that Microsoft sends out refurbished 360's as replacements. Pwned my lil lemming.

I would do it before the Dreamcast 2 (360) goes the way of the DC and you can't get much money for it. PS3 is the future of gaming.

That is the most ignorant post I have read all day. Dreamcast failed because of a lack of 3rd party support, something that the 360 has plenty of. Try again.

I don't blame you, the unreliable hardware + bad tech support can trully dissapoint even the biggest MS fanboy, I'm thinking that the shooters argument is not really a valid one since there are a lot of quality games coming out for the 360 that are not shooters, but I still think that the PS3 is a good console, you just need to be patient untill the price drop. I'm sure PSHome is very appealing to you but just wait and see how the beta testing goes. Both are great consoles so you can't go wrong either way.

My 360 died on me.  I called tech support.  They sent me a box.  I sent my 360 back to them in the box (they paid to have it picked up at my house).  Got a new one back 10 days later.  How is this "bad" tech support?

Wrong. Failure rate is 5-10%...that's not "all the time," which means your "fact" is incorrect

Are you sure you have the right number? What time of day are you calling? I've never had a problem getting a person on the fine the few times I have called. Granted I wasn't happy with the end result of the service, but getting through wasn't an issue.

 Wow-with the possibility of FFXIII going to 360-my reasoning to go PS3 now solely is due to the lack of reliability in the 360 console itself....Now I just want a PS3 cause they seem MUCH more solid
