Now Im not trying to bash the Sony or any other company Im just bringing you to the fact that consoles have problems (Hell every piece of tech will have problems no matter what), and even the PS2 which was the best selling console last gen had some of the biggest problems.

With that said you can now stop making Elite and 360 hardware failures, everyone knows it the 360 has failures and no one is denying it so why keep making multiple topics over the same subject.

Edit: Topic name changed now that I got peoples attention.

Good thing you prevented me from laughing, I was about to kill you for saying that was a 360.

Lol, they probably put in an F-ed up disc to get that "Disc read error" thingy. But still, that's happened to me like 50 times on my older PS2. Not once with the newer one. :D

Anyone with half a brain knows how to easily fix most of the "DREs". A simple lense cleaning usually does the trick(fixed 3 "broken" PS2s that way, including mine.)

The Elite is the same piece of crap like the other 360's. Stop being loyal to a company gauging your money.

The 360 is the most problem stricken system. Granted, the PS2 had its fair share of problems--but not like the 360.

Yeah Im not trying to bash the PS2 nor am I saying all PS2's had problems, My PS2 didnt have barely any problems at all even when it fell off a table and the disc tray cover fell off.  Its just the fact that Ive seen atleast 5-10 people just today make the same topic about the 360 and its just stupid.  I dont really care if it stayed in one topic cause yes the 360 has problems but the multiple topics is just pointless.

 Not once did I say the 360 was any diffrent, infact I know for sure that its the exact same pieces of hardware they have been using, they havnt implemented the new chip set and wont for a while.  What Im getting at is addressing the problem Ive seen the past 24 hours.

idunno about that.  I agree...at least, as far as we know...but perhaps that can be attributed to the interwebs not being as prolific in 2001 as they are now. not at all.  maybe if the PS2's issues were laid bare before an internet as popular as it is now, it would have been just as huge.  Sony was the focus of more than a couple class-action lawsuits, you know.

No I agree MS needs to fix the major problem, what Im talking about is these forums and the fact that we dont need a swarm of the same topics about the problems.

You dont see 20 of those topics made in one day, and I agree those topics are made to much but this topic is to address the problem at hand.

Anyway Im done with my little rant post, carry on. :P

Yes, the PS1 and PS2 both had hardware problems, but I'll be damned if I ever heard of people on their 3rd and 4th PS1's or PS2's within a year of owning them. Face it, MS are straight up robbing people this generation with their terribly faulty 360's and their milking business strategies.
