Following on from Marks post about Bill Gates wanting to make the Xbox 360 the most reliable console, I do not doubt he will make it much better but as I have had the RROD, many of my friends and family and even a blogger in the Joystiq network recently got the Red Ring of Death on a replacement 360…there is a long way to go.
So with replacements getting the RROD, would you not say the 360 has had its named damaged too much?
Many gamers have left the 360 for the Sony PS3, a games console that has had a great name from the start for its hardware (although the 360 chat options and dashboard are better).
With most companies heading the Blu-ray route and people buying the Sony PS3 for home entertainment and for gaming…its win win for the Playstation 3.
I would say a safe bet is that the PS3 is way ahead on odds for a long term win, the 360 would have to bring out its hardware all over again with maybe the rumored “Ultimate 360” to win…but what about the poor current 360 owners who have to have the old one.

We use the PS3 about 20 hours for every 1 hour we use the 360. I have had the RROD4 times. I had to buy a used 360.

hahaha Oh charles…..Microsoft are barely Innovators.. no no they are imitators..they copy and destroy. They have no soul nor heart for the game industry and such. They simply want your money..they want their way and thats it…do not ever compare them to great pioneers like sega nintendo and Playstation, they have soul. It shows in the games. lack of story, character depth. Lack of innovation Bar Bioshock.
the proof is in the pudding…wake up son.
Above post makes no sense… !!??
Charles mate… GOI BACK TO SCHOOL
whys that then james
You have to remember, XBox360 was launched in 2005. Microsoft has already proved that they can not create a system that lasts longer then 1-2 years.
The XBox 360 is out dated and it is unreliable. For now, XBoxLIVE is 360’s only saving grace. Microsoft needs a completely new console if they want to compete with Playstation 3 in this new age of gaming.
RROD…lmao @ crapbox 3shitty…What is the failure sign on the PS3…anyone know? Of course you don’t. They DON’T FAIL. I think you’d have to be completely retarded to ignore the fact that xbox completely blows chunks when it comes to hardware. The game library for 360 was awesome for that first year when PS3 was getting it’s legs. I have both consoles, and my crapbox has been sent back twice. Now I just leave it turned off so I don’t get so frustrated. Plus, the games are there for the PS3 now. I know you don’t want to admit it, but we ALL know who is going to win this console war. Look at who is winning the HD format war for an indication if you’re completely thick headed.
BTW, my mom did buy me the Ps3…is that wrong? I guess my PS3 sucks since it was a gift…? What retarded logic that is. Don’t pick on others because YOUR mommy doesn’t love YOU.
Charles: ok lets start with the first Xbox Vs the PS2 on average the ps2 sold “world wide” at same rate. Xbox “being so much better didn’t do better in sales. you cry about the software down load? are you serious? you have got o be kidding if i need to install some software to have little load time great. it is only once. I know you have to pay more for hard drive space than PS3 owners do but please. and also i know you haven’t seen a PS3 now on HDTV if you say graphics are better on a Xbox 360,(unless you like your games puking bright annoying colors at you all the time. ) and also frame rate issues have nothing to do with the PS3 (or the 360 for that matter) it is the software not the machine.
(Don’t know what Bush has to do with anything personally I will be very happy to see him gone) as far as it being a media center that is all the better, and no it was never designed to just play games. you really don’t get it do you? Mine does tons of things all the time not just play games but when ever i want it to it is ready and more than able. (try warhawk online and then you will say Halo who?) then when i am done picking off people it will go back to Protein folding. finding cures. and no over heating issues. by the way one of our games was over 22GB so yes blu-ray rocks you cant play a game that size or quality .
Like I said on the other page. I Love getting you PS3 Boys all Pissed off. I actually get a kick outta this.
