My god 10 360s! Thats simply unbelievable lol. I would have called it quits after 2 or 3. I guess Im lucky. I've owned every worthwhile console since the 2600 including a launch 360 and never once had a system failure.

Oh yeah and TC I recommend a PS3. Dont get me wrong, Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 are 2 of my favorite games this gen, but the Wii just doesnt have much else to offer as of right now, or in the near future. I only keep mine with the hopes of a Zelda announcement sometime soon.

PS3 is a good reliable console (I only know one guy irl who had a faulty one), has lots of good exclusives and tons of multiplats, good free online service, lots of functionality right out the box and has a decent selection of new titles in the pipeline for next year.

Too bad about your 360 though. It has a great software line up, but the hardware reliability is garbage.

That's the only thing it keeps me away from getting a 360, I live in Southamerica and I have to send the system to USA, and that costs a lot of $$$$$ All my friends that got a 360 over here are screwed, only one console survives But I don't believe you are on your 10th 360 :P

You should get a PS3, it's the most reliable console, has blu ray, got the best games, has the best online PSN, plus Home is spectacular and the best part it's free.

My 360 gave out on me 2 times. The first time it was the 3 red rings, the second time the disc drive gave out. After the second time, I just purchased a PS3. I admit (although most gamers wont) that I play 6 plus hours often. When I get a game like GTA4, or Madden....I'll run wild with it. Basically everyone knows that the 360 isnt reliable hardware, Its just not a work horse. I got the PS3 to easy the workload of my 360...along with other things like exclusives, bluray, free online, wireless and reliable hardware. PS3....and then take it easy on your 360.

Oh no, the PS3 is my favorite console. I buy all multiplats for it because it has the best controller and online is free. Plus I love XMB, it's so smooth. Oh yeah I almost forgot, it has wifi. The PS3 is the total package.

He can get another system, but still get his XBox 360 repaired for FREE. I wouldn't get rid of my XBox 360 ever. Way to many great games. All those games play online, unlike the PS3.

TC, In all honesty, I would buy a PS3 and get my X360 fixed. It would be a serious shame to miss out on games like Gears2 and Halo Recon and Fable2. But if there is one thing you shouldnt do, its get a Wii. Wii is the first console purchase eve that im regretting (and I even have a 3DO and a Jaguar :? )

My Wii broke today....Kinda funny and sad My son is heart brokenHarlockJC
Poor kid. When I was very young (like 2-3 years old) I used to cry when balloons pooped. I used to think they died XD I can imagine how he is with the Wii.

I say get a PS3, strong line-up and you will get to play the multiplat games from Xbox.

If your a real gamer then you should go with the PS3. While the system has had it's problems with some games, not with hardware so much like the Xbox 360, it is still a great system. As we have all seen the Wii has been gearing it's self for non-gamers with lot of gimmiky games that rely more on using the controller than actually offering enjoyable game play for real gamers.

LMAO! I want to know too!

TC go with a PS3. The Wii will be a waste of your time and coming from the 360, it will not fulfill you gaming needs. The PS3 is a work horse and I at least put 30-35hrs a week into it and it is still running strong. If you do not need to sell you 360 to get a PS3, you should buy the PS3 and get your 360 fixed.

A ps3 if you want 90% of your exclusives to be shooters, and wii if you want lots of variety in your gaming.

PC :twisted: You get most of 360 games and you have a lot of exclusives
