Hardware wise... Is there any other console in gaming history which could be the 360?

360 suffers from:
Disc Read Error
3 red lights of death
overheating
scratching of discs
freezing
Freezing that leads to death(different from freezing which is occasional)

I personally think YES.

people might say ps2, but mine is still workin for 4 and a half years now, and ive even dropped it on the floor from a pretty high up, and it still works like a charm.

On the other hand my 360, freezes once in a while and I just got it a few weeks ago.

 Both PS2 and 360 have been horrible in reliability. I have been through both of these with the Better Business Burough.

Pls explain why it randomly died? my ps2 never died on me... And the only issues I know about the ps2 were the DRE, which launch units were the only one affected.

The same way the 360 ramdomly died... I replaced my PS2/POne three times... but mostly because I gave them away to family/friends..

Just because you haven't had a problem, or some random other people you know didn't have a problem, it doesn't mean it's reliable. I have been though 4 PS2's and 6 Xbox 360's. They are both awful in reliability.

I have had DRE's in consoles that were replaced in 2003-2004. I only had 1 slimline break on me though.

Just b/c you're one of the few having problems doesn't mean the hardware over all is unreliable, this goes both ways.

Your PS2 never died, and its not like everyone who buys a 360 recieves a dud in a couple of months.

I have them. Mine are fine. In fact the vast majority will say they work perfectly fine.

I was going of your "just b/c you" statement, and spinning it around. The percentage of successful units far out weighs that of failed units for each respective piece of hardware.

In all honesty with numbers as high as yours I would start to think it's not just a factor of the hardware, but maybe also a factor of the user. I know both have had issues, it would be foolish to deny that, however, I wouldn't call them unreliable pieces of hardware.

A next generation console has to improve on last gen faults which 360 doesn't do at all considering most people are on their 3rd or 4th 360

disc read error: god those are annoying 3 red lights of death: i imagine this must be worse overheating: this one is probably a result of user error (sticking it into a small cubbyhole) scratching of disks: i have never actually seen this one. I would flip out if it occurred to me though Freezing: i imagine this is pretty common on any game console. with all the technology they cram into those boxes, freezes are bound to occur freezing that leads to death: I have heard of this. Freezing leading to the red lights. That must be an awful feeling! so all in all, yeah...I think the 360 is close with the PS2 in terms of reliability. you'll notice both feature an amazing library of games however so customers don't mind repairing them time and time again to enjoy the gameplay ;)

PC probably is, but it's not really a console.  Sometimes games just crash.

Earlier 360's defnately had an issue, I went through 3 of 'em, and my 3rd one works like a dream and my first 2 died, but i got a 102 error on my first one, that was horrible.  Second one just wouldn't play games, it was a disc spinner error.

My friend had to buy 4 PS2's to get one that actually worked.  My other friend ran a DVD on his the first week he got it and it froze up and then it wouldn't play games at all.  I'd say PS2 is the worst in gaming history, 360 is up there somewhere.

Honestly I'd have to say Yes.....Mine constantly freezes on me in the middle of games and is extremely loud.  I am waiting for the Zephyr (sp?) to come out so I can use my warranty at best buy and pay the $80 difference and get one of those, cuz I've had it with my current 360.

The Ps1 by far. The first generation had a 100% failure rate after the first 2 years.

I'm not, my brother isn't and none of our friends that have 360's are. Who are these most people? The must be fierce unfortunate. 360 isn't any more unreliable than the PS2 was and who cares? Ms replace broken units. Don't like that idea then don't buy one.

You youngins might not remember but the original NES was a disaster. You had to place the games in just right and had to blow and clean the connectors all the time. But the 360 is a close second imo.

Yes! I am so surprised. I thought the PS3 was going to be a disaster with all the new tech that's in it, but it has proven me wrong. Mine runs great. It runs cool. And it has yet to freeze, but if it does....that's harmless.

I would say PS2 is #1, 360 is #2. Maybe the new 360s this summer will fix most of the problems though.

Pls explain why it randomly died? my ps2 never died on me... And the only issues I know about the ps2 were the DRE, which launch units were the only one affected.

Just because you haven't had a problem, or some random other people you know didn't have a problem, it doesn't mean it's reliable. I have been though 4 PS2's and 6 Xbox 360's. They are both awful in reliability.

I have had DRE's in consoles that were replaced in 2003-2004. I only had 1 slimline break on me though.

4PS2s broken vs. 6 xbox 360s broken, so when did you get your ps2 and 360?

I bought them both at launch.

so 2001 for ps2, 2001 - 2007 = 6yrs
In 6 yrs, 4 ps2s broken

and 2005 for 360, 2005 - 2007 = 2 yrs.
So in 2 yrs youve had 6 360s broken. Wow.

Conclusion: yap 360 is the most unreliable console in Gaming history.
Even my 360 which I bought last dec, died on me this february, less than 3 months my 360 died...WTF?

I have actually thought about giving up on the 360 because of how unreliable it is, but it has my favorite games, so I can't do that.

Tough luck. Mine is still ticking. And I got mine at launch and it has been played for 10000's of hours...




Same My PS1/PS2/Xbox1/360 all from launch never had any problems

PS2 did have issues for definate. My launch console broke but I got a free replacement.

BUT! One year after launch they rarely broke down unlike the 360. I said it many times before but I am on my second 360 since last September and thats giving me problems also.

And yes I read the manual, gave it plenty of room etc etc

Its so delicate, you don't need to do give so much room with the other consoles or do the other stuff the manual says for other consoles.

Lemme just add, that my Mega Drive (Genesis) still works. Yes, its been over 10 years and that thing still works. And its been less than a year and my second 360 is starting to have some issues already.
