Ps3 owners, would you buy a 360 if the RROD was fixed?

I own a PS3 and have been watching the price of the 360 slowly drop. Part of me thinks, "hell, why not pick up one since it is so cheap now". However, I have a real issue buying broken hardware, and I am well aware the RROD is still a huge issue.

I used to own a 360 (feel free to check my posting history)until it broke.

So, would you buy one if they fixed the RROD?

Please, no fanboys saying that the RROD is A) made up or, B) fixed... because neither of these statements are true.

even if microsoft said they fixed the problem you whouldn't see a difference around here since we are far into this gen

and since RROD is one of the only agruments cows can use againist the 360 and come out the victor everytime you wont be seeing any cows jumping ship

I would buy one in a heartbeat if there was no RROD and if the online was free.

I dunno, ps3 owners are in a much better position than 360 owners. ps3 owners have lots of great exclusives and, if a 360 owner wants to play these, they need to shell out a fair amount of money. ps3 owners, by contrast, only have to lay down about $190 and we can play everything the 360 has to offer...

if it wasnt junk hardware, I would seriously consider buying a 360 as a secondary console. mind you, if it wasnt junk hardware it would prob cost a lot more ....

I'd probably buy a 360 for Fable 2 and Star Ocean 4 (if it stays exclusive). RROD shouldn't be that big of a deal as long as the warranty is good.nervmeister

warranty or not, I do not want to part with any amount of money for something that is inherently broken. but yes, if they fixed the 360, i would get on.. just for a few exclusives

The online fee is completely wrong and unfair to me, I couldn't buy a 360 with them charginghip-hop-cola2

As long as your console was manufactured in 2008, RRoD should be an issue. Yes you still here about RRoD today, but you rarely hear about them. Most people that say they got RROD today usually have an older model. Blue-Sky

sorry dude, i bought my 360 i feb 2008. it died in march 2008. It was replaced (by the store) in march 2008 for a new system. this one lasted 3 months then died of RROD. I gave up at this point and swapped to ps3. .. so i dont buy the whole "post 2008 is fine".

I have owned many consoles and never had a problem with any. hell, i still own a dreamcast, saturn, ps1, ps2, megadrive and mastersystem. they all work.

i had a 360 but like a lot of people on here it broke on me more than once. i switched to ps3 and never looked back. loved gears of war but one game is not worth it. ps3 exclusives kinda fit me more anyway since i dont care about ninja gaiden, halo, or fables. whodey8584

same as this guy, except that i would like to play fable. not a fan of gears (just not my thing).

well, i checked the model number on my second one (not sure baout my first) and i, using info a found on the web, found that i had a "falcon" chip. unfortuantly, it still died. I gave it all the space i could (nothing else around it) but it still died.

I do like the 360 and i think it has some great games.. but i really hate bad hardware.

have really enjoyed the ps3... but, like i said, if the RROD was fixed i would get a 360 as a secondry console.

how sad for 2005, 2006, 2007 360 owners (majority of 360 owners)

Having to pay for online is a bigger issue for me than hardware problems. As long as Live costs money, count me out.ANeuralPathway

Has some fun single player games like fable 2

No he's not, thats his opinion. Respect it. Anywho, I wouldn't mind purchasing a 360 just to get the best of both worlds, but unfortunatley for me, I'm not swimming in money so that's not going to happen anytime soon. High five for economic recession lol.

Fusible

do you play in all of them at the same time ??? :o

2nd this.

I dont play everyday, so everyday that i dont play, is money that i lose...maybe they are cents...but in the long run its something that i dont want to lose

I think a new graphics card is a much better investment...

PS3 and 360 games already look dated to a PC gamer.. and so lite. People like me who own all three almost always prefer the gaming pc. Sad (I wish console games were more interesting) but true.
