as for xbox 360.. if the games i mentioned weren't for u .. simply buy a 360 its a great system as well with bioshock, halo 3, mass effect, gears of war, dead rising, crackdown, lost planet, etc
How often and how likely is it that when you buy a 360 that you get the red rings of death. Im trying to decide between the 360 and a ps3. i know that the 360 has a lot of good games but i dont want to deal with an unreliable system.allegrettom
umm it just happens what can i say...it happend to me 3 times...for me it was a bad experience...it took a month to do the whole shipping process...and like 1 week to fix it...i guess they where already busy....

All I can say is, if you have the money aside (but you'd probably want to put it towards a game), get a warranty when you purchase your 360 so you don't have to go through the long waiting process if by the off chance yours does die. If I had known beforehand about how reliable it was going to be, I'd have forgone on a game and gotten a warranty or just waited instead of buying it at the time I did.
I bought a warranty for my PS3 but in that regard, it was to be on the safe side and not have a repeat of the troubles the 360 gave me. Now, I'm 360-less and waiting till the problem is actually solved until I pick up another (and no, extending the warranty isn't solving the problem for me) and even then, it's dependent on exclusives.

Now is the absolute worst time to buy a PS3, game after game are dissapointing... u are mentioning warhawk, lair, heavely sword... that`s proof right there, all on a steady course to flopville. Scores 8 and lower, not a reason to buy a system.
rest of the games are 2008...
Right now 9/10 multiplats better on 360.
I would say right now is not the time to buy a PS3. I think in November or December would be a good time. That way some really good titles will be out on the market. I'm not a real PS fan not in many years but I do recognize that That would be a good time with the current line up. I didn't like the heavenly sword demo. It looked good but played stiff. Lair reminds me of Panzer Dragoon Orta. It didn't look too bad but to me that would be all I was looking forward too. MGS is a good reason but you have a ways to go. I honestly am not sure if it is releasing this year or not at this point???
On the other hand I love my 360 and I have never had an hardware issue. I Friend got his 6 months after me and did have an issue. I know I leave mine in a place where it is always cool. There is a new version coming out that will have less hardware issues than The current ones. I am surprised that so many people are having issues especially after Day one. My other friend had a PS3 and it was a dud. He isthe greatest PS3 Fan boy alive by the way and would never admit anything good about 360. I know I have a 3 year warranty so I have no issues with the system. but I do plan on buying an Elite just for game development. I love my 360 I can't wait till tomorrow to pick up Blue Dragon. Finally a JRPG I don;t care what it is rates I just want variety of games. Right now that is 360 Hight point that and great on-line support. Live is approximately $4.17 a month forGreat online play functionality.
I still prefer 360 over PS3. I enjoy games and that is why I purchased my game system. Give me games I truly want and I will reconsider. I still think Killzone was the worst FPS since Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold. I finished the game out of pure determination to complete a game that week. Yuk!!! That Game is garbage and screw everyone who thinks over wize I'm only passionate over things i am serious about and I didn't like it before and After I finished the game. I think I must have had invincibility on because I never died and I was playing it on Hard. once again Yuk. The game was not worth a sequel. This is a reason not to buy a PS3, well at least my reason. That game is F'ing clown shoes and is an insult to great FPS's.
I couldn't recommend a Wii because I am a gamer and i donut have my nephews and neices over that much. Sorry it just doesn't yell this is for gamers to me. Most people buying it aren't real gamers. But I must admit that that is an intelligent market to aim towards I mean Hey look at the sales numbers alone.
The 360 is too unreliable to be considered good.VinnoT
I have not had my 360 break or get the red ring. I've had it for 2 1/2 years. Yes it is the best because of the games. 2008 might change that because of MGS4 but we'll see.
