360 High failure rate Dragonsworn Send a noteboard - 31/08/2009 08:56:48 PM
Do be cautious about 360. It has a high system failure rate still five years into it's lifecycle. AKA the Red Ring of Death. There's a huge article on the front page about it over at eurogamer.net

The games are just as good as on PS3.

Should I get a PS3 or 360? Matrimony Cauthon - 30/08/2009 06:12:56 PM 896 Views
How many friends do you have with 360s and do you want Blu-Ray? Werthead - 30/08/2009 06:23:19 PM 745 Views
I probably have 5-6 friends with 360, and I don't care about Bluray Matrimony Cauthon - 30/08/2009 06:39:32 PM 712 Views
Microsoft have an automatic 3-year warranty on all 360s, so you should be fine. Werthead - 30/08/2009 09:34:33 PM 956 Views
I have both. Animosity - 30/08/2009 06:29:16 PM 795 Views
Your arguments for the 360 actually sway me more Matrimony Cauthon - 30/08/2009 06:42:59 PM 739 Views

PS3 Slimline is much cooler and quieter. Pretty much the exact same as a 360. *NM* Brian - 31/08/2009 04:42:32 AM 355 Views
360, by a long way. Nebhead - 30/08/2009 10:30:22 PM 952 Views
They already are...I saw some last weekend for under 200 dollars. *NM* MightyYT - 30/08/2009 10:41:24 PM 387 Views
The PS3 Slim changes the game a lot Brian - 31/08/2009 04:37:09 AM 773 Views
I enjoy the 360 more... MightyYT - 30/08/2009 10:48:34 PM 761 Views

I has PS3 Kylia Skydancer - 31/08/2009 04:37:51 AM 847 Views
It sucks that the new ones don't do PS2 games anymore. Really lame of Sony to take it away. *NM* Brian - 31/08/2009 04:44:09 AM 348 Views
they don't? Kylia Skydancer - 31/08/2009 08:24:49 AM 769 Views
Yeah, only the oldest of the PS3s play them, they took it away pretty fast. *NM* Brian - 31/08/2009 03:14:06 PM 383 Views
Honestly I'd look at exclusive games and see which one fits you best Brian - 31/08/2009 04:40:29 AM 731 Views
I think Xbox has a Metal Gear game coming out now *NM* Matrimony Cauthon - 31/08/2009 05:23:25 AM 360 Views
It does, but the main character is going to be Raiden, and I hate him with a passion Brian - 31/08/2009 05:34:53 AM 723 Views

I ended up buying a 360 Matrimony Cauthon - 31/08/2009 05:29:29 AM 763 Views
Awesome! I do like mine a lot. Brian - 31/08/2009 05:38:05 AM 719 Views
Gamefly.com looks like a good deal Matrimony Cauthon - 31/08/2009 05:47:13 AM 729 Views

No, you can't. Werthead - 31/08/2009 05:23:34 PM 674 Views
A few ideas. Werthead - 31/08/2009 05:34:06 PM 680 Views
Phew, I am glad people mostly replied 360 here... ironclad - 31/08/2009 03:40:44 PM 703 Views
You should give Ninja Gaiden a shot...that's one of my favorites so far. *NM* Brian - 31/08/2009 04:21:49 PM 380 Views
360 High failure rate Dragonsworn - 31/08/2009 08:56:48 PM 760 Views
If you're also a PC gamer, I'd get the PS3. Less of its exclusives hit the PC. *NM* Zalis - 01/09/2009 05:32:05 PM 405 Views
If you have a lot of friends with one or the other, get that! Wibble - 04/09/2009 05:58:40 PM 738 Views
