PS3: Sony’s Last Console and Xbox 360 Blamed

Scott says:

I’m a 360 owner who just had the Red Ring Of Death, last month. I called Microsoft, I was sent shipping labels and my Xbox 360 was off to be repaired within 24 hours of the problem. I recieved a NEW console in less than two weeks, along with an extra 90 day warranty and a 30 day gold membership to Xbox Live and an apology.
Not bad.
When my PS2 broke down, it cost me 200 dollars to get it repaired. I had to send the system away at my own cost. I ended up getting a “refurbished unit”, which I believe is French, for “Some other poor jerk’s headache”
The replacement PS2 broke down 3 days later. I sent it off again at my own expense. I will spare you the breakdown but I ended up sending it back 5 times and I was without a console for 6 out of 7 months. I never received an apology…a perk…..an explanation or a new console.
At least when Microsoft makes faulty hardware, they take responsibility for it. I won’t bother with the fanboy rants of which system is better. For me, it’s all about service.
If I want quality service, unbeatable online play and no headaches, I will continue to buy Microsoft.
If I want a Blu Ray player….I will go to Future Shop, walk right past the PS3 and anything Sony and buy one. Trust me. Accountability matters. So does service. I told Sony when my system broke for thr 6th time, to keep it. I also said I would scream this story for years to anyone who would listen. Up yours Sony. Thanks for your time

Xbox 360 and a PS3 says:

I have both consoles, and so far its he PS3 bringing me more enjoyment. Microsoft hypes this and hypes that, and you know what?. There were all boring. Gears of war and its sequel has only excelled in the graphics department. Halo 3 was just the same as Halo 2. Dead rising was really nice but not for long as it got reppetetive. I dont know if Xbox 360 exclusives are just not my type of game or are just praised for absolutely nothing so I’ll still look around for those. Despite poor performances from the 360 exclusives I usually always buy a game on the Xbox 360 over the PS3 because its always significantly cheaper in my country and almost always runs better.

When it comes to the PS3 exclusives I usually have a blast. I remember staying up until two o’clock in the morning just playing Metal Gear Solid 4. Heck thinking about how addictive it was scares me and how badly it wouldve changed my lifestyle if it lasted longer. I remember mashing the controller so hard towards the end when the main Character, Old Snake is crawling towards the computer cluster called G.W.. I also managed to get a chance to play Uncharted and in my experience it was fun being a treaser hunter before the old guy died and you didnt have to kill anyone. After that it was boring. Resistance was boring from the start since it felt like every other shooter. MotorStorm was amazing and I managed to play the sequel demo in 2 player mode and I really enjoyed it. LittleBigPlanet was also alot of fun somehow when I played with my freind since the levels were so smartly designed and your SackPerson and your personal moon could be customised to quite a far extent.

Although I usually always choose the Xbox 360 version of a game over a PS3 version I bought Oblivion for the PS3 which I absolutely loved. This would sound really scary to some but if I bought it for the Xbox 360 the Xbox 360 would have been on for another 112 hours. Knowing defect rates im not sure if Oblivion wouldve broke the Xbox 360 because it certainly didnt do a thing to the PS3 which has been on for so many hours. Damn I love how reliable it is.

Not all games for ps3 will be free online from watching the net . Some game developers have the option to charge a server fee to play their games online through ps3 . even though ps3 itself will not charge they say . Still means some games may charge their own rates .I could care less about either sony or xbox360 but I do find all the games I enjoy are on the xbox .
I tried the ps3 thing was gonna give it a fair shot and so far to date “7″ “DOA” sony ps3’s straight from the box . Last trip was at bestbuy they opened and tested 27 seperate ps3 and found 80% of them would not even come on they had instock on the shelf. So what does this tell me , Sony can not just yelp about MS failure rate when theirs is starting to catch and/or even pass MS.
I hope sony can over come the failures but from my experience already they do not even honor their own warnetys charging me for repair of a brand new ps3 not a week old ontop of charging me to have it sent in for repair . bestbuy went ahead took it back even though they are not supposed to with the “send it in to the man” to be fixed crap .
I wanted to try ps3 I seriously did I hope someday I can still try it , But it will have to be at someone else house not mine . I do not have the Extra $$$ to throw away.
plz over look my typing I spilled tea on my keyboard and have buttons married to each other . I guess i will just stick to my pc until a new console comes out or prices drop down to ragged dirt cheap , till then I can read the forums and watch the ignorant fanboys fight about who’s the most retarded .

Fg,

I know you are outrageously over hyping or even lying about that event. The literal fail rate of Playstation’s is no where near the possibility of that many defective units ending up in the same Best Buy. PS3 has a fail rate of around 1%.
