Im not a big fan of the 360. I play it and have fun but i feel like the PS3 is just so much better. I love my PS3 and its been great. Only had one problem with it and i fixed it my self for 50 bucks really simple to do. The laser mechanism went out so i replaced it. There was an awesome video on YouTube. But ive had 2 360's and this one is doing okay i just feel like its going to die on me to. Had the PS3 since it came out. 4 years now and its always turned on. thats why i think the Laser went out. I dont leave it on all the time now.

I do realize you had one of the good ones, but MS has officially said the failure rate is over 50%, and put aside billions to send out refurbs after extending warantees (and good on them for doing it).

PS3 is still below 10% failure rate, after 4 years. Its not a small difference.

That said, if you've got a shitload of games for it already, you may as well just pay microsofts fee and send it back for another one. Not sure what they charge, but I know they do it.

Edit: Im sure there are shops that repair broken PS3's in halifax, probably for a lot less then MS does it. Theres one in bathurst, and thats a tiny city, so im sure Hali has a few.
Wheres the article on 50%?? Because there are 30 Million xbox' out there in the world, I doubt 15 million have failed.

I heard numbers of less than 3% failed due to the RROD

I don't know how many times I have to say that my 360 elite (falcon chipset) and fatty PS3 have never had a problem.


Must be all losers having problems or people that don't know how to turn the things off.

Suck it Trebek!

I can link you to 4 or 5 more articles from reputable gaming sites like destructoid, IGN, and gamespot if you want.

Dumbass soulless ginger.

Thats of 5 days ago, btw.

the Wii has the lowest failure rate, and its still around 6-8%.

Yea thats pretty much what i heard. The 360 with the most and PS3 with just a little more than the Wii. But i fixed mine for 50 bucks. Got the bluray laser off ebay and used those videos up at the top to replace. only took like an hour. saved me $135. Sony charges that much to ship and repair.
