And yes for the record I have a 360 and it's broken which I have to pay $100 to get it fixed which is the biggest con job in gaming history.......3 year warranty my a**.

All propaganda.

MS specifically states that you have a new 3 year warrant ONLY FOR ONE of the many issues the hardware has. Right now the ONLY thing covered is the 3 rings of death. My X360 got 3 rings of death HOWEVER following their instructions I completely unplugged everything and what do you know....no more 3ROD. Too bad it doesn't read disks anymore.

After talking with their Customer Service they SPECIFICALLY state if they can not reproduce the 3 red rings it will cost me $100 dollars to fix. I explained it had 3 rings but now it doesn't but the machine is still broken. They said tough luck, the warranty ONLY covers 3 rings, period end of story thank you good night.

So please, stop spreading false hope. I see Lems spreading this rumor to unsuspecting gamers to convince them to buy the X360 because of the 3 year warranty. Honestly you guys need to research before you spead MS propaganda.

Fix, but not replace. So after 3 years of getting your same ol' banged up 360, expect it to die pretty fast.

You still have a 1 year warranty that covers anything.

:lol: and you belive that stuff. They just use that verbiage to weed out the fakers like youself.

You just say damn right it gives me problems and they send you another one.

Duh, you should have held to your guns. :lol:

To add to what I said above, the warranty will not cover......if you harddrive fails, games freezes, games get eatten, disk drive fails (that's what is wrong with mine apprantly), system shuts down every 15 mins because it overheats, ect....

None of that is covered unless you get a 3 rings of death. I've had one game eatten and a broken 360.....all customer service could do for me is take another $100 past the $400 (plus tax) I already paid.

Before you say someone is lying be sure you know what you are talking about.

I better be able to record headshots.CJL13

For real! Thats the one thing i hope home includes. Imagine if you could record headshots and put them in a video reel for all your friends on PSHome to see...that would rock...Your ownage would be spread worldwide.

Then turn it on in a hot room and let it overheat to get the RROD.

Predicting your next reply - "But it doesn't even turn on!"

360's DVR thing isn't even finalized or announced just like this PS3 article. And quite frankly, that'd alienate the Core audience.

Dude , seriously get a clue.

IPTV was announced last year and its stil on track.

All Sony is doing is playing catch up like usual this generation.

Brilliant....too bad I purchased it in April 06 and it broke in May 07.

IPTV was announced quite a whilie ago. And you can use the 360 as a DVR right now with a Media Center PC.

Xbox 360 owners are getting it a Year earlier YAYpunto23

No, unless they got it in Q1 2007, they didnt get it a year earlier. Theyll have it like 5-6 months earlier.

TRied it, and the dam thing just shuts down in 5 mins. It won't break ENOUGH for them to fix it.

I did lie to them though, I told them "yeah it has the 3 rings of death" and he said "ok, but if we get it and can't reproduce the 3 rings of death it will cost you $100 to fix it". What else could I say but ok.

Now I await them to call me in 2 weeks when they finally look at it to tell me, sorry can't reproduce it. That's when I'll talk to their manager and haggle but they are treating this supposed warranty horribly. They make a big deal about it to make people have confindence int he machine and that's exactly the opposite of how I feel after dealing with their new and improved warranty.

More useless features for a gaming console... :(foxhound_fox

Ty one voice of reason on this topic, honestly lemmings do you REALLY want either of them to do this?, or actually spend money and time on GAMES. Remember then Sony?

Maybe you should take your own advise.

Sony announced DVR capabilities well before MS announced IPTV. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060203-6110.html

Also you might want to look at all the features that were added to the 360 after the PS3 launched. HDMI, 1080p, larger HDD, etc. Who's playing catch up?

Wow, since when was IPTV = DVR?

how does a digital tuner work anyways?

does the ps3 just record what youre watching on tv? or do you have some kinf of special service you have to pay exrra for like Tivo?

[QUOTE="punto23"]Xbox 360 owners are getting it a Year earlier YAYasdasd

here's the issue....we dont even know if they're have it ready by Q1 2008. He told Kiwi outlet The Press that the company is "hoping next year... to release a digital tuner for the PS3, turning it into a programmable TV recorder."

Hoping and actually doing are two different things. Waits for Sony entertainment America to confirm.

DVR is a device that records video in a digital format to a disk drive or other medium

IPTV covers both live TV (multicasting) as well as stored video (Video on Demand VOD).

Ur right...it's actually better.

HeHateMe_basic

Currently unknown.

Most likely be a add on device with some downloadable service like TV Guide. Sony use make DVR's using Tivo service but got rid of Tivo and went with TV Guide which was free. I have one ofSony's DVR with the TV Guide service and it works great. IPTV charges for their service.

Oh please. Sony was throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticked.

I'm still waiting for 120 FPS and Dual 1080p games. :lol:

Xbox 360 is future proof.

You want HDMI go for it. You want wireless go for it.You want HD DVD go for it. You want a larger HDD go for it.

Its could choices my friend. Its called flexibility.

And its not called the PS3 which forces me to spend more than I have too.

Plus it is no better graphically than the 360.

Since it said so in the press release. You truly are more blind than I thought.

This was my first thought. Sony is trying their damnest to make the PS3 a multimedia machine instead of a gaming machine. I thought Phil Harrison might've been joking back in the day, but I seriously think they want the PS3 to compete with the PC.

PS3 gets it a year after Xbox 360... Woohoo... :roll:

FonkeyMunky7

a year? lol

360-dec. 2007

PS3-jan/feb/mar. 2008

lol taht seemlike a year? at max 4 months... hah

Hate to break it but if your concerned about 360 DVR functions alienating core owners, didn't they already do that, then, with downloadable updates, video marketplace and XBLA?

Didnt Sony already do this?

They want it to be an all-in-one set top entertainment device. Not even PC have managed to pull that off very well yet.

Wow...and why people say Sony steals again?killaj2786

Because they dont this time around it was microsoft doing the stealing or like we say it in here in sw theyare improving the idea..The playstation had that feature first with the Psx..

"PSX media center is easily confused with PSX game system." or it said something along the lines of that at the bottom.
