Xbox will go down as the most unreliable console in video game history.

What is really funny is that most of those games were terrible flops or bad 360 ports.   What's even more funny is that the trend continues even after 2 years have gone by.

All of that for the low price of $600.  

Doesn't sound very logical to me.

The PS3 is no longer $600 mr. xbot. Gets your facts straight. Also, bad ports are developers issues, not the PS3, for example, Oblivion and Burnout 3 are all great ports on the PS3. Oh wait, what's the point of explaining to a huge fanboy like you... Nevermind.

Nothing can beat the sheer number of PS2s which have failed. Remeber, it took YEARS upon YEARS until a class-action lawsuit was filed... then Sony finally figured out that they should help the people out. Before then, people had to pay (including me) $150 to get their PS2 fixed. Microsoft showed class and fixed the problem, extended the warranty, and took the billion dollar hit to help the gamers. Stevo_the_gamer

Wow...$150?  That much?  You can almost buy a 360 with that much money in today's market.  And cows have the audacity to come here and talk about MS and the RROD?

Edit: To be fair, I don't think MS took a 1 billion dollar hit to help the gamers.   But hey, I'm glad they did take that hit (otherwise I would have been forced to buy a PS3 :P ).

Nope...I'm one of those people that bought one 360 at launch...experienced one RROD...had it fixed by MS in less than 2 weeks...and did not pay the $150 PS2 owners had to pay.

How do you like them apples, huh?

Your probably one of those people that buys 5 x-box 360's to move the Console sales up. lolMaximumD

I guess you hardcore sony fans must be digging anything out of the bag to try and save the disaster that is the PS3   

nah, PS2 had higher failure rates with DRE.

The RROD is but 1 of the many problem's that plague the 360

If you get

1 red light ( general hardware failure)

E74

Scratched games

does Microsoft replace/fix any of the above ? Is it covered in the 3 year warranty? NO

Unlike you i own both and its not the first time i had to buy a game twice because of the 360s crappy disc tray

I have had my PS2 since Christmas the year it came out, and it still works fine (my sister uses it as a DVD player), So not all of PS2's failed. My brothers were on there third system when they finally got a 360 3 months ago

 The first one broke becaue the dog walked over one of the cords and pulled it down form the entertainment center I'm not sure but I think there second one broke because one of them spilled coke on it, then my dad tried taking it apart and ruined it. And I think there third one just quit working.

I do not have a 360 so I cannot comment on there reliabiltiy personally, but from what I have seen/heard they are not the most reliable console out there currently but one thing I do not get is all the PS3 bashing, this thread was not about PS3's games,etc its about the systems reliablity

That sucks dude...I really mean it.  But I don't know how a tray not opening can scratch a DVD.  I've heard enough about scratched disks to know that some of you guys are not lying.  I treat my disks with extreme care (my music CDs, not so much...mobility is important and I can always replace them for cheap).    Tread your DVDs with care, is all I can say.

i dont have a launch 360 and i have error 86, hdd died.. not covered, sold someone my bundle for $140 on craigslist

i'm not going to pay for a new overpriced hdd, though i should have swapped it with a new one at bestbuy heh

if this were a pc though, i'd just be able to reformat it, ms wants to milk me for a new hdd

Yep, it probably will.

Doesn't hurt my enjoyment of it one bit though. :D

Microsoft Xbox 360 Hit With More 'Disc Scratch' Lawsuits

"Microsoft's conduct in selling and marketing Xbox 360s with DVD drives that damage game discs, DVDs and CDs along with Microsoft's failure to disclose the existence of the defect in the DVD drives and Microsoft's failure to repair or replace all Xbox 360s with defective DVD drives is a breach of the implied terms of the product warranty as well as Microsoft's obligation of good faith and fair dealing,"

You must have started gaming this gen if you really believe this.

nope I have been gaming for 20+ years and this console has been the most fun....games, XBL, connectiviy with my PC etc

Good thing most people don't agree with that PoV.  And nothing you can say can convince me that you didn't start gaming this gen if you believe the 360 is the best console in history.

Then I guess both you and I will buy Onkyo next time!

I've had multiple hard disk failures with various PCs over the years.  I guess the PC sucks as a gaming platform.  I just hope Onkyo comes out with a PC in the near future.  Untill then, I'm seeling my Lenovo and I'm gonna buy a Mac.

given that this is MS 2nd console, and that PS2 was Sony's 2nd as well I don't think this is weird at all. i expected it to be honest. next gen is the big one - if MS manages to mess it up it'll be more of an issue. but we can look at sales and cleary see RROD hasn't had a major impact if at all. it's basically just hardcore fanatics or the misinformed that would let it affect their purchase decisions imo.

This type of thing is just unacceptable i mean you could pretty much pick up a ps2 ( while playing a game ) and shake it and it would still not scratch your disc as shown here

its kinda ironic how the xbox1 never had a single problem-Mad_Rhetoric-

again with that lame just started gaming comment I can't speak for him but like I said I have been gaming for over 20 years and I am more satisfied with the 360 than any gaming console I have owned....so what u wanna fight bout it? lol

Actually no if anything the PS2 will take that title. There was a point that the failure rates of a PS2 surpassed the 360's. Also microsoft is atleast nice about the RRoD sony are jerks and wanted people to PAY for a new laser AND they had to assemble it themselves. The average joe doesn't know how to open up a console, locate and replace the laser. PS2 was much much worse, until the slim of course but still.DivinitySkate
