A three year warranty and free repairs?AcidTWister

Warranty that expires halfway through the gen?

Warranty that only covers RROD?

Sending your console away for three weeks and still having to pay for Live during that period?

Scratched discs that are covered under no warranty?

Weird. I havent had any of that happen to me yet. I guess my Xbox 360 wins. Does yours fail, or do younot have one and are just angry because Lair got a 4.9?

You seem to be under the impression thats a bad deal. Nintendo and Sony offer 90 day warranties then you're on the hook for repair costs, and they'd probably tell you to F-off if you came to them complaining about a scratched disk. The 3 year warranty is pretty much unheard of as far as consoles go.

I have a 360. The PS3 is garbage. But the 360 still fails as well.

Xbox 360 fails IMO cause of a lack of killer franchises. Whereas PS3 has a killer app in almost every genre, 360 really only has Halo and Mass Effect.

I'm hoping at TGS they show off some diversity, bring in some exclusive franchises so I know I have sequels to look forward too. If TGS disappoints im selling my 360.

How long is the other consoles warranty? They should start replacing them with more reliable ones when they finish with their new chip.

That's the main problem.

They give you one month free, so in reality you gain a week of live.

You're not supposed to move the xbox when it's on, there's warnings all over it for that. If it is the xbox's fualt, then they will replace them.

So then why the hell did I have to send my Wii to Nintendo for repairs :o. My launch 360 has lasted about 20x as long as my Wii did without a repair.

Nope. I have 5 posts in this thread and one fail. That's 20%.

Xbox 360 is 33%

Go back to 4th grade math.

360 fails because it has tons of good games, xbox live, and a bunch of exclusives
