I can't take it anymore this is the third time and right on time for the big game release's. I've been a big 360 supporter from the start you can check my games list, but MS have a problem with thier console they don't seem to care about and its getting really annoying. I'm not putting up with it anymore and will be buying all Mulitpath games on my PS3 now.

Can any new 360 owners tell me if the problem is truly fixed have you bought a 360 this year thats hasn't RROD

After 3 RROD failures (2 on first console, 1 on second).... I almost gave up. Then I made sure my next xbox was a JASPER chipset.

I can tell you now, this is vastly improved, straight away there is less heat and its very reliable. Cases are very rare where JASPER consoles have had RROD. If you do decide to get another xbox then search high and low for a JASPER, they really are the best.

(jus wish more people had mics on ps3 maybe) every1 on my 360 has a mic

And thats why.... the xbox community just feels more 'alive'...... the lack of mics on PSN makes it feel dead.

Sure... its quite difficult to see why xbox live is soo much better than PSN when you compare the side by side features, but PSN just lacks that community that xbox has... although xbox live has been around a lot longer. The decision to not include mics with PS3 consoles is probably one of the most stupidest things Sony did.

I didn't see what Kayne West did, but I certainly heard about it.Sharkep

As a owner of both systems here is my view...

Firstly, don't let this RROD unreliability cloud your judgement, within the first few months of owning my PS3 the laser stopped working - its easy to get caught up and think that the PS3 is 100% reliable, but in reality NOTHING is.

When I called Sony Support about the problem, I was issued an immediate replacement the next day - absolutley fantastic service, beats Microsofts stupid 30 day fix/replace procedure... so despite the dissapointment with the broken laser I was really happy that it got sorted really quickly.

RROD - My first xbox console has probably been returned 3 times, its just a ticking time-bomb every time it comes back... eventually I decided to get a new one with the JASPER chipset, and my oh my is it soo much cooler than my old 360, stability has vastly improved, provided you get a JASPER chipset you reliability is greatly improved!

Initially I bought my PS3 for blu-ray, I couldn't care less about its games, the library didnt interest me at all back then, all my games were on the 360.

Eventually I started to resent buying the PS3, I started thinking... does it really have all this power, is it really 'that' amazing? We all know that most dev's did a rubbish job on the multi-platform games, most came out better on 360....

and then.... I bought MGS4, WOW........ what a beautiful game..... I loved every second of it and it made me realise just how much of a beast the PS3 truly is, there was one part (a cutscene) where Snake was wearing a head mask that I had originally attached whilst playing.... but the custscene just looked like pure pre-rendered CGI, but it couldn't be because of the mask that I could see on his face.... at that point I could see the potenital of the PS3, games like Uncharted only futher prove this point.

So, is the PS3 worth the extra money? ..... the PS3 is no slouch, when they say its powerful they are right but it all comes down to software... I think its getting a lot better but I honestly think the 360 wins when its comes to the game library.

Don't forget that with the PS3 you also get wireless etc thrown in and free online play - even though in my OPINION xbox live gold is far superior but at a cost.

The 360 will always be tarred with his RROD syndrome, but these days (especially with the newer models) it really isn't that bad anymore.

Dude... here is how I see it:

Imagine Slayer on Standoff.... two hogs right?

Now lets say both teams get into their hogs and start shooting each other in the middle... and one hog is destroyed... too bad, clearly the gunner/driver in the other hog were better...

Now you could still take down that last hog using any of the weapons I mentioned.

Now suppose, you mix in the laser, the team with the undamaged warthog also obtains the laser, thats a pretty powerful combo...

What I'm getting at is, the kill is just too damn easy with the laser.... it is essentially a sniper for targeting vehicles, yes it takes skill to laser a player from a distance, but a vehicle is a much larger target.

In halo 2, the rocket launcher contained a tracker (similar to the missile pod in halo 3), this actually gives a the person in a vehicle a 'chance' to survive... they hear the 'missile warning' sound and can take action by peforming evasive manurouvers. With the laser, there is no chance, its an overpowered surgical weapon.

Maybe people like it because its soo easy to use on vehicles.

I played the game on my friends Xbox and I don't see anything to like about the game. The graphics and sound effects aren't that special, it was pretty boring throughout half the game, the story was fairly good but there are games with a lot better stories out there, and I don't see how it could get a 9.5, if you ask me it was lucky to get above the 6.5 mark. I've had more fun with Lair than this. Halo was asome, Halo 2 was pretty good, but Halo 3 was tragic. Oh, and for the sake of discussion what did you think of the Halo trilogy (Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3)

The vehicular combat can overpower everything so they need balace, al la the splazer.

To put it straight,mining the moon is possibly going to be the "one giant leap for mankind". Helium-3 is an abundent resource on the moon and is the key fuel for creating Nuclear Fusion energy. I see some of you say we need to fix this plant up first before we can ruin another, well, if we mined the moon of just some of its H-3 it would rid the world of its depandents on fossil fuels FOREVER!!!. Scientists say only 25 tonnes of H-3 is enough to power the U.S and Europe for a year with Nuclear Fusion. Your probably thinking HEY! thats some pretty good s***, right? even better scientists are coming up with workable designs for a reactor which will theoretically deliver ten times more fusion energy than the amount needed to heat up plasma to required temperatures, if you didn't understand its a self sustained energy source. They reakon it is scheduled to be operational in 2018 - 2020.

Now, who can tell me what the Sun is!?
