I have 2 xbox 360 and I play them 12-16 hours a day and they have never RRoD.

Of course they had some issues. But I also feel alot of these are caused by very poor ventilation and or exposing the console to direct sunlight.

Stop living in the past. The 360 is very reliable now.

Go buy one and don't be scared, there is no reason to be.

It will look the same. Maybe improve the frame rate and spruce up the colors or lighting. It will be different than the Xbox 360 in some minor respects but it has nothing to do with the PS3, its all about more time.

PS3 has 1 AAAAE, 0 AAAE and a bunch of AA games.

Its software lineup is average at best.

Yeah that "diverse" statement reeks of delusional hyperbole or flat out ignorance.

Ok help me out here, I thought it was a price drop across all skus.

199 arcade

299 pro

399 elite

ok i want you all to read this now.

All those games will be AA here at GS.

I have 2 360 and have never got the RRoD, thankfully.

It sucks for those that do.

But I'm sure its getting more reliable by the day.

The Playstation 3 does not come with a headset. You have to buy a Bluetooth headset separately which is alright since it may work for your phone as well. You can on the other hand buy a wireless mic for the Xbox 360.

The slot on the PS3 is better in my opinion. The tray for the Xbox 360 seem very cheap although it has held up for me for a year now.

It is pretty cool that PS3 can use any hard drive. It's not because of the technology though. The main reason the Xbox 360 cannot use a regular hard drive is for marketing and marketing only.

Xbox 360 does have built in wireless controllers that transmit data via infared and PS3 uses blutooth, but I think you mean wi-fi. It is very convinient to have built in wi-fi for PS3.

The reason I bought a PS3 after I got my 360 was mainly for the Blu-Ray functionality. But Blu-ray is owned by Sony so I don't think Microsoft will have it until the next generation of gaming consoles which is right around the corner.

Did you know the PS3 doesn't have memory sluts? So inconvenient.

The power brick is very big and hot I agree.

The interface is personal choice. Although I do agree with you the PS3 has a much nicer interface than the Xbox 360's. But before the end of the year the interface will hace a major facelift making much more sleek like the PS3's.

The later models of Xbox 360s do have HDMI sluts so in order to get it, you would have to trade it in.

The grafics are supposed to be cartoony on some of the games. The truth is the 360 has more power than the PS3. I forgot where I read it, but the author of the article did a detailed breakdown of the different computing parts and proved that the Xbox had more power than the PS3. Also if you look at the graphical comparisons made my gamespot, Xbox comes out on top on all three.

In conclusion, the PS3 is a more complete package and it is more universal, but you could probably get all that extra stuff for the Xbox for about the same price. And also the the Xbox plays the games much better than the PS3. You make the choice they both have their pros and cons.

"Any Xbox 360 customer who experiences a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights will now be covered by a three year warranty from date of purchase. All other existing Xbox 360 warranty policies remain in place"

that means come november all 360 users who bought it at launch will be on their last year. So my question is, when the warrenty drops and you get RROD after, what will you do?
