Which console is higher maintenance?

wait a second, i don't understand a word you said....don't you mean which one costs more to repair?

The question is in the topic. To put it bluntly: Which consoles cost more to maintain?

You have to clean the PS3 every five minutes or it looks like you dug it out of the basement of an abandoned house. It collects dust like a vacuum.

Do you have to do that to play it? No. Mine looks like the relic in an Indiana Jones movie because I only clean it when people come over. It's not that big a deal, and certainly nothing compared to sending your whole friggin' system in to be repaired.

Do people even know what maintenance is? I seen them listing add ons.

PS3 is #1

Black finish that sucks dust to it and requires constant cleaning. Finger print magnet!

360 is #2

Dusting every week and a vacuum job every 2 months or so.

Wii is #3

Probably don't even need to do much to it.

in terms of having to worry about it, the 360.

put it upright for the most heat dissipation

put that huge power brick in a ventilated space, preferably on top of sawhorses made of legos to increase heat dissipation

don't play it for very long so the internals don't get worn out from too much heat at one time

some say to keep it horizontal so the motherboard doesn't warp, or so that it has less of a chance to scratch the disks

buy the warranty, better safe than sorry

you have to change the batteries in the wireless controller, or buy a battery pack and charge cable seperatly

if you want HD-DVD movies or wireless online, you need to buy $200 and $100 add-ons, respectively

you have to go to a gamestore, buy a card, enter the code on your console for sets of points, not unlike buying bundles of tokens at a carnival

I'm just reiterating the stuff I hear all the time about the 360 on SW. This seems pretty high-maintenance to me.

more voters?

defrficient wii: unlikely

defficient ps3: unlikeyly

defficient 360: more likely that youll need a new one within a year than not.
