I would've actually bought a 360 if this wasn't the case. Who wants to buy a potential system that's going to break down, and going to get fixed, only to have to break 5 minutes later.

I don't care how many cool games it gets.

Welcome to 10 years ago. This is next gen, and you want to change 4 disks?!!!!! The only game on the Psone that even used 4 disks was FF8, and most of it was filled with CG!. At least that was a decent game. The developer couldn't even defeat his own boss, how embarassing. Four disks... come on, you know that's not right.

Sony really cares about their customers.

Remember when the PS2 scratched discs and Sony replied "Our system doesn't scratch disks, people do"

Sony cares a lot.

sexy_chimp

Remember when millions of 360's broke down, Microsoft lost 1 billion dollars, and Peter Moore said "things break"?
Microsoft cares a lot.

Fanboys, /sigh

at least they aknowledged the problem and extended the warranty to 3 years unlike sony with the dre's.

The only reason M$ did that was so they wouldn't get sued.

So Sony WANTED to be sued? :?

Sony tried to get away with it but they didn't. M$ decided to refurb before they really got sued and the real bad press started to roll in.

You gotta admit though that what Microsoft is doing is a lot better than what Sony did.

Microsoft is taking a huge hit for the repair costs, which is the right thing to do, and Sony tried to get away with it and blame it on the customerto save money.

They are both wrong. I am leaning more toward M$ because by now the problem should be fixed.

At least Microsoft is fixing the problem. They are fixing 360s for free, and are going to fix the problem eventually. Sony made you buy a new one and never fixed the problem.

They are NOT fixing the problem when the 360 comes back to people "repaired" and it still breaks! Its happened to many reviewers on blog sites and major gaming sites. How can you even ignore this?! Kotaku's just got their refurbished one back last week only to have it break down again!

This goes way beyond fanboyism, you really need to face up to it. MS ISN'T FIXING THE PROBLEM!! Fixing the problem is so the console doesn't break again. PS2's DRE problem was solved, and MS RROD is a lot more of an epidemic than that.

Stop trying to think that there's a parallel between PS2s success and DRE and MS' RROD.

Consoles breaking in the first place only hurt the console's quality status!!

Whoa whoa whoa, what the heck does this mean?

Are we not getting a Ps3 Kingdom Hearts? Wii version, yeah I could understand that, but "other platforms." Wah? You think multiplatform KH3 will work Square, really?

$399... low... priced? Lol wut?

$199 is low priced. $399 is high priced.

What console is $199?

Wow the Wii must be high priced, being 50$ more.

Compared to 600$, 400 is a great deal for people during the holidays if this turns out to be true.

Which system do you think will cater more to the independent developer? Microsoft is the first one leading the charge it seems, but is it worth it? Nintendo and even Sony have considered it, but will it be better than Microsoft's?

So discuss independent developers, and how you feel about their games.

What would you guys like catared to you, if you wanted to casually develop games?

There is nothing to turn around. Sony is doing the exact same thing they did with the PS2 and PS1. It's the price that have people panties and Ninja Turtles underwear in a bunch.

Tell me, what alternate dimension are you from? In THIS one, the Ps1 and 2 launched BEFORE their opponents and had a bigger game library than said opponents as well. :|

Dreamcast....

It doesn't matter how long you say your 360s have lasted. It only has to be above the percentage of accepted fail rate, which it is seemingly happening. I'd rather not take that kind of risk. (That's like if you had say... 10% chance your car would die within the year.)
