This affected 2% of 360s, other consoles aren't void of problems either. Don't even get me started on the PS3. But my PS2 for example, has lost almost all it's features! Now, I keep everything I have in exeptional condition, so why has my PS2 started playing DVDs in black and white, it has stopped reading PS1 games, and the image quality has fallen dramatically!!!! I have had no problems with my 360 thus far, same goes for the Wii.

It and the Wii are not having as many launch problems as the 360 did when it launched. (There is the Wii straps but im talking about a technical hardware failure.)

Yes, but the 360 units that broke down ratio is a lot WORSE than the Ps2, because looks at how many Ps2s were sold. And I've never met anyone who had a broken down Ps2. ...I have known several people who've had their 360 break down...

And that means what? I know far more people that have had PS2's break down on them yet, I still bought one and mine never broke...

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.Saturos3091
Why the games just crash has nothing to do with the hardware. It's what people call Windows fault.

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"][QUOTE="Tamarind_Face"][QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

[QUOTE="Tamarind_Face"][QUOTE="mathew952"]PS2.
Randomly Died, and cost 120 to have fixed. I had to buy 3 over the course Of this Gen
Tamarind_Face

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?

So buy a PS3
