Dont buy a 360 they break...
Why buy a console that isnt reliable
I could go on, all quotes that have been said on this forum.
Its a shame to now see the laser failing on the PS3. mind you mine did after 2 hours.

Its sony. They are known for having laser issues with all there products.
True about them not expecting problems but with a few of the stupid comments made on this forum about how bullet proof they are compaired to the 360. you get my point ;)

I was talking to robb about my old school PS1.
Think i got it on preorder, and the laser broke, i had to turn it upside down so the laser would drop a few mm to read the disc. Best mate at the time had the exact same people lol

haha actually i think i remember tippin my ps1 for some reason could have been to try get the little bearing things that sat in the bit that span the disc after it snapped to bits an they fell into the console :S

The failure rate of the 360 has been over 30%.
The failure rate of the PS3 has been .2% - yes there is a decimal point there.

Counsidering those stats where recorded in June last year and the failure has only started in Nov after X amount of months of usage.
That means fuck all.
Xbox has the most failure rate to any console to date. Thread is just to show how unbullet proof the console is to all the fanboys on this site

Nobody had said they are completely bullet proof. And i know quite a few people that own these things and they have never had any problems. :y:
I am just saying the 360 is :homme:

I am just saying ive had a 360 for 2 years and nothing once had a problem.
Had a PS3 played it for 2 hour and the laser broke. Funny was around Nov too.

Luck of the draw i suppose fella.
But you must admit a 360 is more likely to break down than a PS3, statistic wise?

fact of the matter is... in modern society with the complexity of the technology in hardware the first buyers are actually unwittingly the BETA Testers (except they pay for the unprivilege)...
You'll find the later versions of the console will be much more reliable, just like the xbox and the xbox 360 and the ps2

...amazing,
PUS3 has been out probably half the time of the 360 anyways.
Plus the Xbox is muchos cheaper.
More people own an Xbox.
Xbox owners can send messages to people in game.
......Xbox ftw.

getting an elite on monday ill soon have a real opinion of the filth that is the exbox.

There's no irony really your bound to get a few break over the months/years but microsoft actually admited there was a problem and never bothered to fix it even Elites were getting the ring of death!
I prefer the PS3 for the simple reason mine still works.
Unlike my 360 which freezes when you play on it for more than 5 mins and Microsoft want to charge me 60 odd quid to fix it they can stick that.
Plus I much prefer the dual shock controller.

Can't really comment on the reliability of my PS3 as no doubt some junky recently sold it for a quick fix
Worked fine in the 2 weeks of ownership though.
My problem is I'm pretty much Anti-Bill Gates, that said Sony Corp. get the same amount of respect from me
