If you are okay with your Multiplayer on PS3, there is really no need at the moment to get a 360.

The 360 has been out 4 years, most of those problems with 360's were in the earlier years. I've had mine for 2 years now.. but before that I had some issues. Now it's not really an issue. And there is plenty of reason to get a 360, the above comment is just assanine.

Sent in first 2 then got a arcade one and slapped my hdd on it. Had this 360 for overa year now and haven't had any problems. 360 exclusives are deff worth it. I barely touch my ps3.

As someone who can't stand not being able to play a game. Having a 360 and PS3 is essential. If you are like myself then yes buy a 360.

I have mine 360 since 2006 (an old version without even HDMI) and so far i didnt have any problems with it. Good advice...let it lie horizontal cause in vertical position the it stands on ventilaton holes.

I will also mention I've had more luck keeping it horizontal. The ones I had that crapped out I was standing vertical (3 years ago) and since I changed to horizontal (2 years ago) I've had no problems.

I've had my 360 for 3 1/2 years and not one problem with it, trust me once you get a 360 you mind aswell throw your PS3 out the window. I got the PS3 around the same time as the 360 and barely use it, plus the exclusives for xbox are better than PS3 imo.

Although throwing your PS3 out the window is bit much you have a point. I have had my PS3 for almost two years bought one game for it and recently just got another game for it and every time I play it I get bored quickly and put the 360 back on. I have come to the conclusion I should just sell my PS3 and get a Blu-ray player.

I own two 360s, one of them had been repaired three times over three years the other one has had no problems. The one that has been repaired I bought in 01/06 so it was a couple months after launch. The one that hasn't been repaired is an arcade model.

I think people that worry about the 360 breaking are either making up excuses on why they don't want one or are just sad people that don't understand warranties. Microsoft offers a three year warranty on the 360 which is much better than what the Wii and PS3 have to offer. Also, from what it sounds like, Microsoft fixed the problem with the original 360.

I understand that people may not want to go through the hassle but it's not really a hassle sending it in for repairs and thats if it even happens. Fanboys make it out to be that the 360 is going to break when people in reality understand that it probably won't happen but if it does Microsoft will fix it, within three years free of charge.

I can't help feel bad for Sony though, it's just that no games interest me on playstation anymore. I had a blast with the PS2, PS3 not so much and I wanted it to come out so badback then:(

I have had 15+ dead 360s with a mix of RROD, E74 and dead DVD drives. The PS3 is built better and has more exclusives but XBL is better then PSN.

I have gone through 4 consoles. I have recently tried installing all my games. I have had this one for like a year and its doing okay. Hopefully intalling games will work.

I have 2 360s. A launch Premium, and a launch Elite. The Premium went out once since the 360 launched, and that was around a year ago. The Elite? Never. And i put HUGE amounts of hours into my consoles.
