I had a PS3. I really had one but no one played. We gave it away with 5 or 6 games. It would be a lie if I told you that my 360 has never RROD but it has. Like 11 or 15 times. How ever when I call them up I get a box 2 days later and in 5 or 6 days the 360 is back at the house. The last time it went in they used some new chip set and told me that it will never ever RROD on me. You know what, A year later it is still running and one thing I can say is that it is faster at loading and you dont hear the fan blowing. MS has done what they can to fix the RROD. How ever my PS2's DVD drive went dead the first week it came out and I owned it and for the longest time Sony made people pay to fix it. When I got my PS3 the drive stop working 2 days after I got and they wanted me to pay to have it fix. I took it back and got a new one. SAME THING HAPPEN! So I took it back and got a new one and all was good. I have had video cards, hard drives and all kind of stuff stop working days after I got them. I happen. Yes MS should have looked into more and should have had a fix faster but they did what they could. Right now the RROD rate is 7% now.
@furor6. I think to a point you are right but also I'm told by some friends who make games that MS might bust out the next gen system. if not this year than next year. even if it is next year the PS3 can not go head to head with the new hardware the next gen xbox will have. I will have a blu-Ray drive and 4 gigs of video mem. Well just over but 4 gigs of that will be just for the video chip. I understand that it will use a ATi chip with 3 chip sets running in a cross fire set up. I would not buy a 360 or a PS3 if I knew the next gen system was coming. Looking at the PS2 and how well it has is good but the one thing no one tells you is... It just came out in some places around the world. LOL. That is why for the most part it is still selling. Think about it . LOL. People just now got a PS2 and it is new. We are on PS3 and they wont get a PS3 until 10 years from now. The PS3 is not a bad system. Thing is, it has a better video card and better running games. If you to take hardware out of the PS3 and put it in the 360 and did the same to the 360, people would still say that the PS3 is better. It's all about the name. Thats it.
@ElvesOnEcstacy.Games made for that system by a first party dev will put more time into the game for that system.Sony has better dev's.We all know that.Japan has better dev than we do in the U.S.I work at home.I go out a few times a week and film stuff.I go home,edit the film and send of to go on TV. do TV adds.My family,Well not at home right now.I'm working on a TVad right now and I do not like to walk away from my computer when I am rendering.So I read online and get drunk. back to the PS3 and 360 thing. The 360 has more video mem than the PS3.So games that will run on both systems will run better on the 360.How ever, you can do all kinds of thing to make games look better but at the same time something must go. Like FF13 for the PS3.It will run at 30 FPS, and there are a lot Fx's the PS3 can not do as well as the 360.MGs for PS3 used100%of the PS3.FF13 used almost used 100% of the PS3's power. FF13 looks better than MGS. Why? tricks. Things that you will not see because they are so small that no one will see them.Look at rain in games when it falls and look at the ground it falls on.There is more rain fall than drops and the timing is off.Something most people will not see. Did you see that AC2 has more people in one place one the 360 than the PS3?No.can you tell on AC2 that the AI was better on the PS3? No.I went to a gaming school and seen all the cool stuff that happens.I went with video and film after year and a half but in that time we all knew that the360isbetter.
@ElvesOnEcstacy. WOW! LMAO! Dude, you'll see. FF13 used almost 100% of it's power and 70% give or take on the 360 and it is a fact. Also the only thing that will not be in the FF13 game for the 360 will be 7.1 sound. That is it. On 3 DVD's. how do I know that. I put the cash down to get it. The PS3 will use 1 Blu-Ray DVD. You will get 10+hours on each DVD for the 360. So if you run right though the game you will get 50-60 hours but most will get 100+. Not all of us like to run thought a game like that. To much to see. Buy the way. The game will not be compressed for the 360. Everything will look just as the PS3 but the fire, water, and other things look better on the 360. Read it for your self.
@ElvesOnEcstacy. You are full of crap. I just read something on it. They both look the same but the water and other kinds of fx's will look better on 360. Also the PS3 will only run 30 FPS and the 360 will run 60. The game comes out soon. You'll see.
