the most reliable console

Between the PS3 and 360? Definitely the PS3.

Very sturdy.

Is the GBC the one the survived a grenade or explosion of some sort? I thought that it was the GB pocket.

Out of the PS3 and 360 .... definetly the PS3.

Though if you include the Wii (or any other Nintendo product - minus DS Lite) it would win. My Wii had a disc in, turned on at the powerpoint and on standby. It had water havily dripping on it for 4 hours. I let it dry for a day and it worked fine.

Everyone knows the 360 has an epic fail rate. But what about the PS3 vs the Wii? Which of those is the more reliable?

edit: answer ^^^^

Thats a tough one.. I dont think anyone can really say, without some proper investigation.

Way too fragile. It's more of a human error than a computer error.

Well... I'm holding it in my hand right now (well not now, now I'm typing) and it seems sturdy enough to me. Wouldn't go throwing it around and expect it to keep on working, but hey, why would anyone do that?

Mines broke while I was playing Pokemon :(

It was still working fine, but like an hour later, the top screen went white.

No human error then right? Do they have stuctural problems?

Well as far as I'm aware the Xbox 360 has a failure rate of about 30%. While the PS3's failure rate is about 3%... Not really very hard to work out is it.rosswg

It was an original Gameboy. I dont know what happened to it, but it got damaged pretty good.

EDIT: Pretty much anything from Nintendo is really sturdy. I have three original gameboys at home and only one of them is broken. It still works, but the plastic screen shield came off. I also have a GB pocket, GBA, GC, NES, SNES, N64, Virtual Boy and Wii, all of which work perfectly.

Ive had an Xbox 360 for a while and never had any problems with it, just needs to be in a well ventilated place, not right up againsta wall for example. And the peeps it breaks to i rekon must be on it for hours and hours at a time. So for people who are not sure weather to but one of the consoles or not because of over heating, that only happens to the minority

Ever heard of the hinge?

Eventually, if you don't send it to Nintendo, this will happen:

It happened to me, 'tis a cruel world :(

One day, you'll find that when you're playing your DS, the flap opens/closes too easily, it might even close when you don't want it to. That's when you should be afraid.

If you're the Messias I got to get your autograph! :lol:

for a short and straight to the point answer: clearly, the ps3 is more reliable than the 360. because the 360 has its red ring problem.

The Wii is a bit more reliable than the PS3, though it had an episode of brickage revolving around its online, or something, and the 360 is a very far third.
