Here's an idea guys, instead of claiming that extending the warranty makes you better than your competition why not make sure that the piece of crap doesnt break in the first place. Nintendo and Sony can make reliable consoles, why can't you?

the 360s need to be more reliable. but at the same time, if ur 360 breaks down a year from now, u simply send it in and get a working machine relatively quickly for free, but if ur ps3 breaks down a year from now, ur screwed.

but the PS3 wont break down, the 360 will and that is the problem

this is a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, and extending the warranty IN NO WAY provides an advantage over reliable hardware

Yea exactly the point is it shouldnt break , ifanyones console had a failure rate of 30% thenthey wouldbe running for that warranty extension! PS3 owners have their failure rate at less than 1%. Microsoft should really address this problem other then "Extended warranty"

PS2 hardware problems lasted for many years. Did Sony bump up the Warranty? Nope they just told you to buy another one that explains the 120 million sold! :lol:

As a 360 owner I'm not the least bit happy with MS for what seems to be an unprecedented failure rate, but hey, I can't complain too damn loud when I've had one for nearly two years with no problems. For me the extended warranty is just extra peace-of-mind.

You think that's the dumbest thing you've ever heard? bahahaha just go google "sony quotes"

giving that warranty pretty much means that MS admit they console is poorly constructed and was rushed. it also mean all those times they kept saying there failure rate is 3% and that everyone is exagerating means they lied

I don't think it was rushed so much as poorly designed in the first place. the fact that 1.5 years later the issues haven't really been fully corrected suggests it was a deeper design issue that would have been present if the 360 had launched last year instead of in 2005.

I think you should wait for official numbers before trying to predict the future, miss cleo!

He is talking about in this moment in time not in overall sales so his prediction is actually fact

"Sales for the Xbox 360 fell 60 percentin year-to-year sales, the company announced this week. The 360 moved 700,000 units in the fiscal fourth quarter.

Sales for the Xbox 360 fell below 3000 unitsin Japan in the latest regional data. The console ranked one software title in the top 50 game sales.

The 60GB PS3 SKU is atop sellerthis week at CircuitCity.com. The product is listed in the top five best-selling products and the top five most searched products at the online retailer.

The PS3 this week held double digitson Ebay. The console received the largest sales gain in a two week period in comparison to other console offerings"

So you can see that the sale figures for the PS3 have actually been the highest in this current time.
