The dread Red Ring of Death has long been a feature of Xbox 360 ownership, but a recent survey reveals the shocking truth: the console boasts a failure rate of 54.2%, compared to 10.6% for the PS3 and 6.8% for the Wii.
Microsoft of course never releases statistics on its returns rate, so it has taken a third party survey to uncover the apparent rate. In this case, rag Game Informer surveyed 5,000 readers, asking them about the failure rates of the consoles they owned.
Microsoft’s notorious customer support and warranty system (the subject of a class action lawsuit which forced them to extend Xbox 360 warranties) also come in for criticism: the average turnaround for one of the broken consoles was nearly a month, whilst Nintendo and Sony managed a week. Satisfaction with Microsoft’s support was also a good deal less than with the others.
However, Microsoft’s blasé attitude to the pathetic reliability of its console appears justified: only 3.8% of Xbox 360 owners would never buy another Xbox because of failure.

Indeed... honestly though, every electronic device has it's problems. The RROD problem is real, but the ones who said they have theirs still working is real as well. Along with the YLOD being very real as well.
Mine is almost at 2 years and I have had no problems with it. I will just assume that 54% of 360 owners don't take care of their system well.
well some games yeah ( COD4 comes to mind for both PS3 & XBOX360 ) PSP is pretty bad, but that's something different.
Alot of the stuff I'm talking about was actually seen as perfectly fine, even in competitions. I used to play RTCW on PC ( best version ) and I remember reading this one guy's guide about turning off various graphical effects ( snow, rain, lighting, etc ) because it's to hard for him to see ( BOO-HOO )
I once saw what it looks like with all the stuff allowed in competitions. It was horrible, all the textures were gone ( players, environment, set-pieces ) Everything was a flat solid color.
That's what got me to leave PC online, I never needed any of that to play good.
Kinda funny how people talk about consoles in terms of failiure reat and how much content are on them.
Remember when consoles used to be solid as a rock and have an awesome selection no matter what console it was? (im talking bout anything that came before the PS3 360 and Wii in case you didn't notice)
Well, I've never had any problems with my 360 and love it. So, ah well, fuck it.
54% Fail rate?
Well this IS Microsoft we're talking about here.
Fuck consoles, use PC. You have one anyway, why not play with the damn thing?
Question: But... the newest games don't run with my 14 months old PC!
Answer: Don't buy shit with ridiculous requirements.
If those "uber games" don't sell they won't be created. A simple example of supply and demand.
I always used my PC for gaming and will do so in the future. My one and only console was a prehistoric atari. I see no requirement at all for additional unneeded devices.
Heh, I already hear console freaks screaming in agony and / or rage...
@ Schrobby
Well, what got me to switch over to console playing ( was a PC gamer ) was the fact I was into FPS games. I used to get kinda miffed at people running scripts, binds, turning off graphics ( I have a friend who did this ) So it turned me off from playing online on the PC. I play on consoles to get away from that type of thing.
Short version... I blame some PC players for me switching to consoles.
I kinda understand, but istn't cheating on consoles possible as well?
never buy after ROD?
count me in . . . . .
My Wii is good for more things than the haters would like to think.>:D
this reminds me me 360 is starting to act up again. I had to send it in 2 times so far.
Have a launch 360 that still works.
Sure is sensationalist in here.
if my 460 broke id replace it. if my ps3 broke i woudnt
waaaaaaa 360 really suck man.fail rate is so high.Man fuk off lah asshole 360.
I got the red ring,however, I thought the customer service was actually pretty good. My console was a used model off of ebay. They honored warranty with no trouble and got the console back to me in about 7 days.
Stop trolling fuckers, since the RROD is epic win for every Xbox-Owner. Cause you'll get a warranty extension and free time of Xbox Live Gold Membership!
Heh. I'm on my 3rd right now, and a friend is on his 4th. I already own a PS3, so if they ever decide not to repair my console I'd simply deal strictly with my PS3. The sucess of this system does mark peoples apparent lack of intellegence. We buy a system in mass that we know has a damn good chance of failing, thus we are supporting a defective product.
"Read no book under a year old"
I apply that to videogame systems. I wait till they are "Obsolete" and all the buggy systems have made it to the trash, then I swoop down to the pawn shop and pick up a complete system and a lot of cheap games for less than half the "Entry Level" price of a new system.
I'm having a blast with an original X-Box (crashes once in a while, but works), PS2 and GameCube. Have a PS1 also. Had a NES, SNES, N64 and DreamCast, but those got stolen when my apartment was burglarized. Oh, well, emulators work great for the first two, didn't like N64 that much. Miss DreamCast bad, might re-buy that.
BTW-I do electronics as a hobby (a job sporadically) and I guestimate this X360 problem is heating. Too many components packed in too small a space, plus some "Overclocking" to make cheaper components work harder. If I had such a device I'd set up a cooling system for it. Like a air conditioner in another room (or noise baffled otherwise) with the cold air forced through the system with a gravity fan.
But I think they'll eventually get too high a bill for the repairs and since they are 'too big to fail' and their system sells like mad, they'll eventually work out the heating bugs and so I'll be able to get one near the end of the system's life that'll work great.
I don't get what all the trouble is, sides a slight hour long glitch from when my friend dropped my 360 by accident I've never had a problem with it yet, and i've had it for almost 2 years now (had it since christmas of 07)
I got all next-gen consoles... only the Wii and Xbox is USED REGULARY!!!
...and Xbox broke down 2 times. But with the new Falcon board no problems anymore :P
Also neither of my friends have problems with Falcon/Jasper boards.
It seems they only break down if you position them on top of carpet or a dusty place.
Here are the systems that gave me any trouble:
NES- Pins wouldn't read games (in fact, I have two NES)
PS2- Well taken care of, got a DRE outside warranty.
PS3- Got my self on of those fancy Yellow Light of Death errors, Dished out $150 to repair it.
My friends are pretty surprised that my 360 is still alive and kicking after all these years.
It's the luck of the draw, I suppose.
If this 54% number is true, then I must be one lucky son of a bitch because out of the 5 people I know in person with an xbox 360, none of theirs has failed, and neither has mine.
If the 54% number is true, there is a 0.95% chance of this happening.
Im still on my first one and i got it the day it came out. Never had a problem with it.
Makes me wonder what environment some of these machines are in.
I still have my *launch day* xbox 360 and it still runs just fine and has never had any issues. The only annoyance is the loud dvd-rom drive - which have been long since fixed in subsequent versions.
So a poll of 5000 random fucktards is now official data.
Yeah no. I don't think these damn things should be failing at all, but I doubt it's truly up to 54%
Also most of the ps3 games are released in lower quality then the 360, games are usually developed for the 360 thus look better and usually are the only version to come out in true HD. dont believe me? look on the back of the box sometime, of Resident Evil 5, check what does it broadcast at.
my ps1(small white) 9 yrs.
my ps2 10 yrs
my 360_1 1 1/2 yr
my 360_2 6mos
granted the 360s were gifts, as i wouldn't buy shoddy hardware. i cannot deny the awesome games tho.
I truly do despise Microsoft's XBOX fanbase. The player base has always been accused by many as being the "binge drinking frat boy demographic which is a nice way of saying they are complete dumbasses with too much tetosterone. The proof is in the pudding, and in this case, the pudding is the fact that the hardware is not only the worst hardware on the market, but also among the worst consoles ever created. And the only justification among its userbase for the blind loyalty is that PS3's game library sucks because it doesn't have Gears of War or Halo... XBOX loyalists define the term: epic fail!
The Xbox 360 fanbase is filled with nothing but frat boys playing Halo all the time and buying new 360s when their own one reaches the point of RROD critical mass. I will never, ever buy a Xbox 360, because I know that its bound to get RROD'd sometime soon, the PS3 is better, and its a FACT because stability should always be a #1 priority for gamers. If you want to keep pouring hundreds of dollars/wait for weeks on end just for a library(more money to spend!) of games, then fine just trying to save you the money and frustration...mindless zombies...
It amazes me how many developers are switching over to the 360 instead of the PS3. Cash cow much? If only PS3 had more developers willing to take risks to get more PS3 owners... Game development and quality is a waste of time on the 360 because Microsoft can't even make a quality console...
A couple of questions:
How accurate is this survey from a single readership?
How is the failure rate of the XBOX 360 compared to the XBOX?
My personal story is rather undramatic. I have a 1.0 XBOX that I purchased new on November 15th 2001, and it still works just fine. I also have two XBOX 360 units (one domestic and one import) and with the exception of the hard drive on the domestic unit emitting strange high pitched beeps, it works fine. My PS2 and PS3 also work fine. The only full console failure I have ever had was my original PS2 launch-day unit.
Looks like Microsoft didn't get too many new customers with their Jasper-based systems, which are 98% RRoD-free, hence the markedly high failure rate.
Thankfully it's all right to get one now... and I have this hunch that it's also gonna get even cheaper before holidays.
yes the side scrolling two player shooter, i can't imagine how i could play those game again and again repeatedly, i must be partially insane to be doing that.
oh ps2 also have those multiple games in one dvd cause i've got a couple of it.
If the amount of complete 360 failure equaled that of Wii and PS3, the # of units sold would be almost half what it is currently. Thus, making MS tied with PS3. (8 mill)
They found out the cause to the RROD, why not fix it and re-manufacture them? I know why, because they want people to shell out more cash for warranties! Microsoft continues profiting billions, no loss! The 360 had so much potential too...
I have had 2 xboxs in 2 years and they both have died on me. I finally purchased a Playstation 3 and so far so good. I would never buy another xbox, period!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ all you people talking old systems, I have an atari that still works just fine.
The 360 is a pretty good system (especially if you think blu-ray is overrated). Mine's been going pretty good now for about 3 years now, and even though it doesnt always want to read disks, it still runs most of them. I know it'll die soon though.
What you people don't seem to realize is that this is all planned and is part of a completely unethical way to combat piracy.
By having ridiculously high failure rates, most would-be modders and crackers have some serious second-thoughts, as doing anything interesting to the hardware voids the warranty and stops them from getting a replacement.
If their actual buyers get caught in the crossfire is of no concern to Microsoft.
After all, their sole reason for existence is to MAXIMIZE PROFIT AT ALL COSTS.
The usual "you'd do it too if you were them" comments are appreciated-- always fun to watch someone admit they're a spineless pile of scum by expecting their own ethical standards from everyone else.
Im still on my fist 360. Had it the day they came out. I think most of the problems happend because people put aftermarket cooling onto there consols. Anyone remember the roumor that the 360 had shitty cooling? I had an aftermarket fan system on mine. I got the red ring of death about 2 years after i had it. Well i took that aftermarket cooling system off and presto. Works like the day i bought it. Not a single problem yet. I also like the 360 controler WAY better that PS3 thig. . .
i've had 4 xbox 360's and i'm finally giving up and buying a ps3
My two cousins are in the same state of mind as you. they only live five minutes away and one of them is on their third xbox and the other one is on their sixth. the warranty was able to cover them for a while. but it seemed every time they get the refurbished xbox from the warranty it seems to be a degraded version of their original.
so in the end they've got so much frustration now that they're looking at the ps3 more and more. Now with the price drop their begging their parents for a good Christmas present.
Xbox 360 fail is FAIL.
At least the MS Support acts nice.
Never had a Problem with ANY Nintendo/Sony Console btw..
another article to prove Xbox sucks, cheap ass microsoft and another glorious victory for PS3 owners
i heard from my friend, an owner of a game console shops who sell xbox, he warned me that if i play a xbox, don't ever play it > 4 hrs. that is the secret to keep it playable for a long long time...
On my 2nd Xbox360 as well.
First one just blew up. Well the A/C adapter that is. Never encountered the red ring of doom though.
My brother is already on his 9th xbox...
A fellow gamer ( gets all teary-eyed ) What's some of classic Snes games you like?
well the most i've played last time would be
1. salamander (with the options following the tail, i heard they use different name for other countries)
2. contra
3. 1942 / 1945 (kimg5 cheat to level 43)
4. mario 3
5. shit, can't remember already.
but the best things was when the technology start advancing and the game start coming out 2 in 1, 8 in 1 and lastly i remember 1000 or 2000 in one.
Nice list, salamander... was that a side-scrolling shooter?
Ahh! Those multi-cart games, I remember you could also do that with the PS1. It required you to strip out stuff to make it fit all on one disk though LOL
sure, in an 8 in 1 cartridge. just hope my mom haven't throw all of it to the trash bin.
up up dn dn left right legft right AB
Got Contra?
what do you mean ps2, i still got my nintendo cartridge console alive n kicking until now (if you had the guts to still play the games)
So... ideal sales numbers based on current gen working consoles are 15M for 360, and 22M for PS3. I don't know how to include a last gen console that can be emulated at full speed to these numbers.
I find it funny your all disagreeing with the numbers...Yet just about everyone has said... Mine RRoDed or my friend's did. >.> Those statements kinda suport the numbers atleast to a point. Even if you got it fixed it still failed. And Microsoft's numbers are also inflated lot's of people have bought new ones rather than wait the month to get it fixed I know 3 people who bought atleast 5-7 by now. Personaly in 3 gen's of Sony I only had 1 system break due to failer my second PS2. My first was my dog jumping on it so that kinda broke it.
I disagree with the numbers. In my current house, there's a 0% failure rate with the 360. I have an Elite, two of my friends have a Pro, and one even bought a USED Pro. We all live together. None of our four 360s have ever failed even once. Then again, none of our 2 PS3s or 4 Wiis have ever failed either.
Actually it doesn't at all. We can all know people who's consoles broke but that doesn't mean anything. If I had a friend with one that broke and knew no one else with one then that's a 100% failure rate and does that sound accurate?
Also it's a survey of 5,000 people and not an actual failure rate so no it's not accurate at all. People are even more likely to take a survey if the problems have effected them before so it's a bias survey from the off.
Fucking M$ ShitBox
And this is why I bought a gaming PC instead. For the same amount of money. Guess I did the right thing
Can you tell me where you bought it? I'd love to get a decent gaming PC for $200.
try visiting philippines.
im sure you can get the illegal deals
I would not take this post to seriously. Artefact has always had a bias opinion on the 360. Read the news here long enough and you will see a trend. 360 sucks, and PS3 is god. Or so Artefact says.
Well, to be fair, He's none too kind to any of the consoles, at least what bit I've seen. 360 is just the whipping boy because it likes to go boom, and because it keeps getting snubbed in japan. SanCom focuses mainly on Japan in its articles, so it makes sense.
Clearly you are not in-tune with real world news then.
Silly Anonymous troll...
go to the site provided
Oh right, of course. Because if some Japanese game blog website says it that it must be true. How silly of me.
The only trolls I see here are the fucken fanboys who truly believe this crap, and of course that includes Artefact.
All trolling aside, Game Informer is an English magazine which you may recognize from Gamestop employees asking if you'd like to subscribe to it.
Google it's your friend
Surveys are surveys, nothing more.
But MS does offer a 3 yr warranty compared to Sony's 1 yr one. My personal experience with customer support was good when my 360 died on the 2yr 11mth period. Came back within 7 days even though I sent it across the Pacific Ocean.
The 5th generation Valhalla Chipset 360s are coming out soon. When that happens and price drops even further, out of warranty RRODs won't feel so bad. And any out of warranty RROD is a first generation 360 without the HDMI port.
Didn't the 3 year offer only come to be because of a lawsuit basicly? >.> And yes if it's there it's there... but if It's kinda forced on the company you shouldn't praise them for having it? atleast that's my opinion.
I praise them for having a 3yr warranty. Because it simply is praiseworthy. The bulk of the failures are the 1st Gen sets as they come to the end of their 3 year warrranty period. Any 360 off the shelf now is either 3rd or 4th gen and is pretty safe. The amazing thing is, those get a full 3 yr warranty too! Even your new 4th gen chipset, even the 5th gen Valhalla when it comes out. That's as good as it gets.
I've no idea why some people say that there's no warranty in their location. You were prolly decieved somewhere. MS 360 3yr warranty is worldwide. You could pick up a 360 from Japan, move into a corner of Siberia and still be able to use the warranty. Sony doesn't have a worldwide warranty and 'export sets' are not covered. Hell, the 1 year period isn't long enough to really reassure anyone. My electric fan has twice as much warranty as a PS3.
If your PS3 fails, and a small % should fail, there is a very good chance that its out of warranty. My PS3 is 3 months old, I hope it lives a long life.
"I praise them for having a 3yr warranty. Because it simply is praiseworthy."
It truly is a very nice thing. Although, you won't see me praising MS for it since they are required by law to have it, on a count of having such a percentage of malfunctioning hardware.
There is only a one year warranty in australia
I wouldn't consider being forced to have it a "praiseworthy"and their turnaround on repairs is shameful as well.
And ya i can see them saying "We said 1st and 2nd gen 360 has been extended to a 3 year warranty after being sued but we haven't been sued for the 3rd gen yet so it has a 1 year warranty" ya right...
It's over 54%!
Good article. Much rep.
yup xbox 360 is fail mine died once and my friends 360 died 2 times lol but my ps3 is still working and i have'nt had no issues with it
I went though 4 xbox360 but luckily I bought the stores extended Warranty which replace the xbox360 if it was faulty too bad the warranty only last 2 years...
On this site don't take any post regarding Xbox 360 seriously.
Doing some random survey on some random site doesn't give the real failure rate. Yeah my Xbox 360 had some problem overheating but no RROD yet, though its the 2006 december model. Got it fixed for free and they even came to get the Xbox and delivered it to my doorsteps fixed. The reason why it broke was that I kept it in shelf where the air couldn't change so it overheated and eventually the motherboard died.
Random surveys from a random magazine that gets randomly quoted by random websites like Destructoid, Joystiq, GameSpy, the Consumerist, and more. How random.
Well seeing that most of these people are complaining about their Xbox 360 I'm thinking that this survey is pretty accurate and probably higher than 54%
Well those who complain about their Xbox 360 are happy with their xbox 360 in general, but those who say their xbox died and they own ps3 that never has had a problem with are just trollers.
It's science!!
Not sure how reliable this survey is. The sample size is small compare to the install base of the console. And under what circumstances were those 5000 people chosen to participate? The only unbiased way to do this is with a random number generator. Anyways, 54% failure rate is morbidly high for a commercial product. This is even worse than the IBM Deathstar.
No wonder the 360 is selling a lot. Same people keep buying the console everytime it breaks. :P
That would make sense if not for the fact that Microsoft cover RROD repairs for free (including shipping) within the three year warranty, which was extended from one year not so long ago.
Doesn't change the fact it's a disgraceful failure rate though. It's very shoddy hardware design. Only time will tell whether the latest hardware revision actually fixed it or not - seems that way so far.
You also have to keep in mind that a lot of us are now outside of the three year warranty period. My first 360 (a Pro model) was manufactured in May 2006, and after four RRoDs, I felt compelled to "reset" my warranty by buying another 360 (an Elite this time). I don't know how many have done the same, but I'm fairly certain I'm not alone.
It seems a lot of people don't know about the warranty and just buy a new one. The only reason I have an Xbox 360 is because a co-worker's broke and he just bought another one. I kindly took the broken one off his hands and sent it back for repair.
too poor to afford any of them ~_~
Indeed
Really, though, even a 10% failure rate is pretty damn bad, too. Even if I do support PS3.
Yeah, my PS3 YLOD. Still gonna send it in to get fixed though, a 60gig isn't something that I want to lose.
yepe mine first PS 3 got yelow light of death and it was outside the warranty period. So i have got a new one :( Its now working fine. but i trow away totale for booth PS 3 1000 EUR !!!
dude you coulda just bought one and returned the broken one in the new ones package
Don't be surprised if you don't get your 60GB fully backwards compatible PS3 back though...
If the repair takes parts that they don't have in stock then your 60GB is fucked and you get a newer version.
and why is that??? They return the same hardware you know? Same model same hardware. No questions asked. If they don't they're fucked.
Basic rule....
Well i am lucky as both of my 360s (2nd 360 is the Halo 3 version) still haven't die yet.
Instead my PS3 got YLOD 2 months ago, but then i hardly touch my 360, while i almost everyday abuse my PS3 so... :P
Bring back Arcades.
Agreed! It's a little off topic, but hey. I miss having arcades with games worth playing.
My xbox also died, and since I don't have customer support here.
I went to the US the next year and bought an ELITE.
Didn't have that problem since.
Might also help to say that my first xbox was the original batch, which was a wonder that lasted a year.
the ELITE doesn't have that problem.
Cheers;
Nick
PS: I hope.
My Elite died in under a year. I sent it in to MS and they replaced it.
seeing as im on my 4th Xbox and its dying now also i believe this..
still not buying a PS3 tho, Lucky number 5!
Why, oh why do you idiots keep doing this? "I'm on my 7th Xbox360 and it died. Well better go get the same peice of shit again." you end up spending 3 times as much as you would on another system. If your a MS loyal then at least try to get your money back. Makes no damn sense.
How do you end up spending 3x when it's free to send in?
If your a MS loyal, you should accept that your 360 is really a piece a crap with good spec and you shouldn't try to deny when people attack 360.
Personally, I prefer ps3, but because i'm a playstation loyal fan from the ps1 and a lot of game I love are on it : Disgaea 3, Valkyria Chronicle, MGS4, Assasin Creed (I know it's on the xbox too), etc...
And I love Wii because during party, nothing bring the family and friend together in front of the tv and moving around while laughing. Something that ps3 and xbox 360 can't hardly make happen.
wow. you must really like to waste your cash. oh well, i guess as long as your happy you can live with your delusions from the reality that your wasting your cash.
you americanized piece of trash
go eat MS shit and die
You fucking racist.
That comment was EPIC PWN.
I have an old NES that still works to this day without problems. My SNES is working perfectly, and I used it a lot in the past. My N64 is almost brand new. No scratches.
What the hell is MS doing?
+1000
"It had to die sometime."
You Halo fags all hate on Nintendo for putting out worthless games, but you can't deny the quality of their consoles. I still have a Super Nintendo THAT WORKS.
Your XCOX 360: 2 years, 4 months.
My SNES: 12 years and counting.
I may not have an SNES but my N64 purrs like a kitten.
That doesn't even make any sense.
^"My SNES: 12 years and counting."
"My SNES: 12 years and cumming." ===> Fixed!!
Surprisingly, I'm on my second 360. The first one magically lasted 2 years, 4 months. I attribute that to my awesomely cold basement. Of course, it had to die sometime. If anything, I use my 360 more for watching converted anime than anything else. Gotta get it on the big screen!
Either way, I haven't even had much time to play for extended amounts of time on this 'new' one (which, btw, had an EARLIER bloody build date than the the one I bought which died) so I have no idea when this is going to fail again.
When I think about QC on this whole thing...even the engineering design, I get extremely angry. Oh well...
I love these combo thingys...
+9002
I still have a launch console that's working. This is probably because I don't play it often though (The last time I turned it on was several months ago; all good 360 games come out on PC, and, well, they're usually better there.)
Im on my 3rd 360 now the first lasted bout 4 months and the second made it to about 8 this one is only bout 3 months old so hopefully it will last, especially seens as how my ATARI in the basement still plays all its games and my PS2 and 64 both still work. i bought my forst 360 and my PS3 the same day... guess which one hasnt been replaced yet.
Mine is working for 3,5 years straight. No problems
My Xbox broke yesterday T_T
It was working for 2 years and 8 months though
you should have it checked then.. mine doesnt purr.
If I can find my Famicon, 50-50 odd it won't work.
"I still have a Super Nintendo THAT WORKS."
Dude. Same here. I'm a PS3, Wii lover, so I don't know much about Xbox 360, but my Super Nintendo is still rocking!
I have a SNES and a N64 which still works perfectly. The only thing may be that the N64-joystick is worn out ^^ but that can easily be replaced.
heh I been having my first 360 for 2 years, still working like a charm...
I must be frikkin super lucky or something..
+9001
PWND!!
Shut the fuck up, you stupid fool.
Though I do think first post should get a PS3.
it collects dust? clean your room.
I can't stand the ps3 I regret ever buying one
It just collects dust
But I do love my 360 I'm on my fourth now

How does liking the 360 make you americanized trash, i've never seen anyone judge a console based on it's fucking nationality coperation, that's about as fucking ridiculous as fanboyism can get. Fuck off you generalizing piece of trash. I like all three consoles for their own respective markets and workings.
Not the product but the consumer mind. Consume consume consume. Perhaps if they use the other part of the mind to sue, sue, sue then the failure rate may decrease.
I'll be laughing at you if you are using windows...
lol he most likely is
I do admit. Out of all of my systems I love the ps3 more. But I can picture myself saying "I hate Microsoft!" on a blog while my operating system is Microsoft Vista.
Lol. an example of the stupidity of narrow minded fanboyism.
Haha, but lets be real who is not, even Mac users have to use windows, its not like its not a monopoly even if they may not have tried, if you work, Windows of some flavor, if you go to school windows unless you hava a mac but then what do you use for working on it, Oh wait haha, MS$ office
Dude Khao, wtf? The 360 is good. Especially with Xbox Live. The PS3 isn't bad... Some people just think the Xbox is better... partially because it has better games than the PS3, or at least more games and games the PS3 does not (i.e. halo, crackdown, dead or alive 4, ninety-nine nights, tenchu z, too human, and everything in xbox arcade...but that's just a few).
Also, with the new update, some 360 games can be bought online and downloaded to the console.
You can also watch movies with netflix on a 360.
However, I'm sure the PS3 has good qualities as well. I don't own a PS3 and haven't really played one, but I did own a PS2 (which was awesome). Then again, my friends who own both the PS3 and 360, all for the most part agree that the 360 is better.
jrpg fan and indie games that are good aka lbp
ya ya but...but...PS3 has SONIC !!!!
I wanted to say that for a while now. Sega games on Sony. <3 <3 <3
1st guy.
Killzone's pretty terrible so readjust that to Mgs4 and resistance.
2nd guy.
sonic is on all consoles Newb.
+ Gears is still on top.
ya but it does have mgs4 resistance and killzone 2 so up yours!
Gears? I do admit that's a good game, but it being on top?
I've got both a 1 year old Xbox 360 elite and one of the original 60 gig ps3. And these days I've been playing my PS3 more and more. cuz now the good shit is truly coming out.
After my xbox crashed after a year of casual play, i was like wtf? I've had the ps3 ever since it first came out and it's still running!
After that incident the only thing I ever use the xbox for these days is for the online multiplayer because it seems that was the only redeeming quality, and even that is jeopardized because i have to pay unlike the ps3.
what is the last anon smoking. the ps3 doesnt have jrpgs on it. At least no original exclusives. I'm not gonna waste my time replaying the same xbox 360 ports on the ps3, even though I desperately need new games for the piece of shit.
Somebody please, tell me a good jrpg for PS3. I'm not waiting for FF cause FF13 is not only multiplatform, but the exclusive title is a spinoff game i wont give two shits about. Unless that Persona 5 rumor comes true, I doubt my PS3 will see the light of day.
GEAR'S with that lame ending, please Resistance all the way.
That said I am on that 10% mine lasted 2 years and died cost to repair F that waiting for slim to come out and buying that bad boy looks to be sweet. That said best, overall bluray player I have seen yet.
But xbox 360 does has its features, but not enough for me to buy when it does not meet my bluray needs, oh do I love 1080p on my 50 plasma.
Also great to have every music owned and just let it run from my Polk system.
