ive had for lil over a year now and it jus took a sh!t on me. 3 red lights awesome, not. i can send it in and get it fixed for like 100 bucks. ive never played a ps3 or heard of problems with it. ive been thinkin maybe i should jus get a ps3 n pass on fixin my xbox? quite a few of my friends xboxes have pooped out on them to so i hear about more probs with it. wats better 360 or ps3?
Here's some advice. Take that box, throw it in the trash, get a PS3 slim. I got mine not that long ago and it has 120gb for $350. It's a damn good price considering you don't get the red rings of death and you can play online for free. The Xbox 360 is crap. Pure unadulterated crap. The fact that Microsoft is fully aware of this issue and it STILL isn't fixed is a good indication that you need to toss it. Seriously though, the PS3 is worth it =)
Seriously though I haven't had any issues with my system. No lag, no lock, the only drag I've had is the extremely long time it takes to update games via wireless internet. I have DSL and when I loaded Burnout Paradise it took 1 hour and 45 minutes to download updates. My son was $#!@ing bricks the whole time.

Yea, the ps3 does stop working after a while they have the same issues. The cpu and gpu solder disconnects from itself and causes the yellow light of death. (I know I just had to buy a ps3 slim)
PS3 Network is free,Xbox live cost money to play. Ps3 has a blue ray player,xbox does not. Ps3 is cheaper and you get more bottom line. Mostly little kids will argue the fact that xbox is far superior to ps3, but wtf do they know there still sh.ittin green.
The NEWER X-box doesn't appear to have th problems of the first couple revisions. My neice simply wore one out........and boy, did that game machine take a lickin' ME, I'm going with PS3 in SPITE of Sony being complete jerks. The reason? BlueRay player is basically a freebie. Downside? need to figure out an internet connection which is fast. B/G might not be quick enough for 720p movie streaming. I don't think the PS3 has N+ capability.
Stunning life-like graphics with razor sharp details like facial ticks, smirks and grins. 3D pans and real time physics engines make the game flow so smoothly. The trailer on Youtube is very impressive to say the least.
Got a PS3 and picking up an older model of XBOX to modify it and play some burned games. I had an xbox before and really loved it. I would say xbox > ps3 but ps3 definitely has the blu ray player which is a HUGE plus.
lol i just got the xbox 360 and modded it so i can play back up games. Also did a fan mod by installing a switch and hooking up the stock fan to a higher voltage source. Sure the xbox will be loud as f@ck but atleast it will run cool
So now I have 2 empty disks to burn some games......dunno which ones to choose.
