[QUOTE="coolguy1111"][QUOTE="Baird-06"][QUOTE="coolguy1111"][QUOTE="Baird-06"][QUOTE="ps3gen"]i dont know if u like shooter games u should stick with the 360..but im sure ps3 will get shooter games as well..with the ps3 you get all type of games..thats why i have the ps3..you should jus get it fixed ..since most likely the 360 will get more fps games..DaddyDC650

You get all types of games with the 360 too...:?

Not really, it lacks JRPGs, platformers, adventure games, and all that.

Well, if we're talking about presently, yeah you're right. Same with the PS3. But if we're talking about in the future, then there's Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Cry On, Enternal Sonata, and Infinite Undiscovery. For platformers you got Banjo, while PS3 has Ratchet. And for adventure games, do you mean traditional adventure games (i.e. ones with puzzles) or do you mean action adventure games?

The 360 doesnt have every genre, stop being a fanboy.

You are the Fanboy. Oh and the PS3s break all the time you just don't hear about it that much. If you guys want to miss Halo 3 be my guest.

PS3's break all the time? There might be a few here and there that break down but Xbox 360's are known to break down A LOT of the time. I've yet to read up on any stories claming that PS3's are breaking down left and right like the 360.

I think the 360 hardware problems are getting better this year with improvements like the new quite DVD drive and the new 65nm CPU will reduce heat so it will be a lot better this fall. Oh and most people go over a year before they have problems and for the most part it's people who don't follow the manual and don't give the console enough space to get airflow around the console. It's very important to place the 360 in a good level place with lots of space for airflow and for every 6 hours of play give it 2 hours too cool down. I have had mine 360 for almost a year and it still works.

You should sell it and take your business elsewhere. The only way to force corporation to improve their products is to make them feel it in their pocketbook. Faulty hardware is no longer a coincidence M$ really needs to improve the reliability of the 360.

Like Sony did with the PS2. :|

PS3 will have problems wait and see. If you have a PS3 for over 6 months I bet it will start breaking.

There were problems with launch PS3s so don't think Europe won't see problems too.

Yes.

It's a great long-term investment. It has WAY better value than the other two consoles.

No, but people on here complain all the time about "Teh three rings of teh death" And I think it's all baloney.

This will not always be the case. The new smaller CPU for the 360 will reduce a lot of the problems and that will be out this fall. In 2008 you will see a smaller GPU too and by than the 360 will be very reliable.

They got a 1 year warranty with the system so if it breaks call MS. Oh and the smart ones got a 2 year warranty.

I wouldn't suggest buying another Xbox360, you might just get 'red lights of death' again.

[QUOTE="shungokustasu"][QUOTE="ryan_mirow"]Yeah, so I recently got the three red lights of death on my 360, and MS customer service was fairly rude & uncooperative, so for the first time in my life I'm considering just selling my 360 on eBay (even broken ones sell for $200+) and going PS3.

The only thing is, I'm a big fan of shooters, and don't see too much besides R:FOM that I already haven't played on my 360. I'm really looking forward to the possibility of MGS and FF though.

So should I make the switch? This seems like it would be the best time to do it...

Yeah, I say if you have the money go get the PS3. You in the same predictcament when Xbox was 4 months old. Only this time PS3 won't give you the rings of death...

Your right, it'll give you Disk eating problems!

did u just come up ith that now? Ive never heard of it. are you just pullin it out of nowhere and saying it cuz ps3 has no disk tray?

There might be some issues with it being not reliable now but to say it will always be that way is simply wrong. Oh and you have to factor in some of the reasons the 360 is breaking is user error. People not using the console in the right way.

I'd call back, assuming the system is less than a year old.  Your entitled to a free replacement.

Otherwise, I'd take out your harddrive and sell the unit on Ebay and get a replacement.  I know the 360 has a reputation of dying but I've never had a problem with mine.  I'm on my 3rd Wii.

That doesn't help the people who already bought it.

If you're into shooters stick with your 360. The only decent shooter form PS3 is Resistance. And there's a whole collection of shooters for the 360. Just spend $400 and get a new one, or wait until the new version of the 360 comes out.

Meh, wait for the PS3. No games out right now... Plus, it's pretty expensive. Wait 'till christmas, and it might have a price drop and it might have some games.
