[QUOTE="gamenux"][QUOTE="sexy_chimp"][QUOTE="gamenux"][QUOTE="sexy_chimp"][QUOTE="gamenux"][QUOTE="sexy_chimp"][QUOTE="thedarkomen"]They are NOT fixing the problem when the 360 comes back to people "repaired" and it still breaks! Its happened to many reviewers on blog sites and major gaming sites. How can you even ignore this?! Kotaku's just got their refurbished one back last week only to have it break down again! This goes way beyond fanboyism, you really need to face up to it. MS ISN'T FIXING THE PROBLEM!! Fixing the problem is so the console doesn't break again. PS2's DRE problem was solved, and MS RROD is a lot more of an epidemic than that.
Stop trying to think that there's a parallel between PS2s success and DRE and MS' RROD.
Consoles breaking in the first place only hurt the console's quality status!!

First of all, I'm not a fanboy, I've never owned a Microsoft console so stop assuming that.
Microsoft IS fixing the problem, just not very quickly. They are eventually going to release a new 360 that doesn't break. Sony NEVER fixed the problems on the PS2. Not only that, if your PS2 had problems, you had to buy a new one. If your Xbox has problems, they repair it for free.
I'll make a comparison:
Let's say I punched you in the nose. Which option would be the nicer thing to do:
A) Apologize to you, help you up, and give youa tissue for your bloody nose (What Microsoft is doing)
B) Laugh at you then walk away (What Sony is doing)
Actually MS try getting away by doing B. But then a lot of people on the web complained and then they do A.Sony did B and got away with it. Microsoft screwed up big time, obviously, but they are at least fixing it.
I wasn't in the ps1 or ps2-era cause I was gaming on PC. Got 2 xbox for xbmc though.My bro got a ps2 for several years. I played it from time to time and it is knock on wood.
Uh, that's one PS2. There are people with Xbox 360's from launch that still work, does that mean it's a reliable piece of hardware? No.
WellIMO, the ps2 is better quality vs a 360. Unless you plan to giveor buy me a 360, I won't touch it until RROD is confirmed fixed. If the RROD was happening to ps3 or wii, I would avoid those too but it is not.That's not the point I'm trying to make. I'm not arguing which problem is worse. A problem is a problem and it should be fixed. Sony never did, Microsoft is.
So in this case:
Microsoft > Sony
Luckily, I never owned a ps2 myselfand my brother's ps2 still works.
Just to be fair. MS did ditch the xbox. Hopefully it won't happen again with the 360. Good luck people.
I do notbuy launch stuff. I actually wait till the reports are all in before buying. As for this gen, ps3 fits what I am looking for. Quality, variety, dvd (yeah, I don't have a standalone dvd player except for the one in my laptop), graphics,free online gaming, 3 consoles for the price of 1 (BC), The only bad was the games (number of games that are already out)and price. But that should change in the next 4-6 months. We'll see....
