Mafafu...why would you attempt to derail this introspective and deeply philosophical debate?

I'm on my third Xbox. 66% failure rate for me, and it could very well go to 100%. Prove me wrong Microsoft. I have all three consoles, and neither the Wii or PS3 has gone out on me, but I play my Xbox way more than the other two consoles combines.

Fail for MS
x0xsaintx0x: Also, I am an owner of 2 PS3's 2 Wiis and 2 360's. I never play the first two systems. And one of the PS3s were backwards compatible, when that feature started to not work, I called in to replace it. They wanted a RECIEPT! Really? I had registered the thing and everything, and they still wanted me to fax in a reciept for a repair. Rediculous. If you had a 360 or Ipod you would know that they could easily have a system to catalog this stuff. Don't post a thead just bc you are jealous of the 360. What other reason would you have to post? My older sisters boyfriend talked her into buying a ps3 with rockband 2 so I had to purchase it on that system to system link with her, GAWD, what a nightmare! I rebought RB2 on my 360 it was that bad, rebought 50bucks worth of songs, oh, and got some cool peripherials that are unavailable on the ps3. A month ago Activision totally busted on the PS3 saying if they do not lower their cost *which they cant, they are already HEMORRAGING money* they will stop making thier games available on PS3. Look it up. Thats your Call of Duty, your guitar hero, modern warfare, you name it. The 360 is 2 years older than the PS3 and STILL outsells it MONTH AFTER MONTH, TITLE AFTER TITLE. The PS3 has undersold EVERY SYSTEM since the day it came out. It always goes Wii, 360, DS, PS3. SOmetimes the DS outdoes the 360. I am sorry you are unhappy with your purchase but don't try to trash talk a solid system, that does everything the PS3 does wrong, right, fanboy.

he isnt trash talking any thing he is stating a fact this article was in the magazine. and your entire point has nothing to do with console stability or CS issues nobody cares who is outselling who. oh and a solid system doesnt break 6 times in less than a decade
joshmrc:oh and a solid system doesnt break 6 times in less than a decade
I guess the PS2 wasn't solid than.
Hexpane: RockMuncher:One statistic I'd love to know is the ps2 failure rate... I had 4 of them die on me, 3 large ones and a slim. Modern day, they couldn't have gotten away with that kind of failure rate and not enacted a warranty from sheer bad press and outrage (see Microsoft ), but back then it was easier. Sony denied, denied, denied, and eventually settled a class action lawsuit way late in the game. You could get like a free copy of Sly Cooper 1 if you could prove your PS2 had a DRE and saved the receipt... so not worth it. I wonder if the true failure rate was published due to that lawsuit?

So thats why theres so many used copies of Sly Cooper 1. And I wish that was a joke, but at local used game stores here there are a ton of copies of it.
I personally got in late on the ps2 bandwagon, bought a used 1st gen for 100 bucks not too long before the slim came out. But it has lasted me this long, and all I had to do was clean the len once. But I know many people that had 3 to 6 of them due to DRE. So Sony fanboys should not be casting stones, the damn glass house living bastards :D I've had a 360 since before the launch (Thanks Mountain Dew) and only had to send it off 1 time, RRoD of course, but its been a great (free) console to me and I can't complain.
lol I'm kind of curious what sparked that fanboy rant on page 2 as well. Was it the OP?

If was to poll 50 random people, and it turned out that 30 of them had cancer, would it be truthful for me to publish "60% of people have cancer!"?
mafafu:A lot of the CS complaints are a bit racist. Everyone knows MS farms their CS out to other countries and the usual complaint has to do with not understanding an accent, not getting their system fixed.
I am against outsourcing from the USA to no usa countries for CS work. It has nothing to do with race. My girlfriend is filipina and she feels the exact same way, even tho her home country is philipines and has many call centers.
When I talk to CS I want to talk to someone who knows what the product and service is like, and I prefer USA corporations to employ USA employees for obvious selfish reasons. (jobs for the USA)
When you get CS these days 95% of the time they are simply reading a script, and not really well trained on the actual product.

i guess not

A girl in college once said I was a "Black cloud in people's skies" . I think it was after i made her feel guilty for flirting with other guys when her boyfriend was not around. (we were all friends) I was like WTH I wasn't the one flirting w/ all kinds of dudes at a keg party!
I got the disc read error on my 1st xbox aboiut 2 weeks after my warranty ran out and they wanted to charge me only 100 bucks less than the cost of a new system to get it fixed so I just got a new one insted. If/when that one craps out on me then I will just have to send them both in to get them fixed at the same time and fire up the old PS2 for the time being
I am also on my 3rd and this one came with 3 harddrive errors already on it. So I can say that my crap box is just that. Let the failure begin. Although I do like the games I play on it I almost always have to turn it on, off, then on again for it ito work. Here's hoping for E74!
