    So, how will people take to Microsoft treating console customers like mobile phone customers?

    Time to initiate a console war. X Box 360 is lamer than sex with a condom. Exclusives suck, paying for online play sucks, and the controller is terrible.

    I really hope nobody is stupid enough to do this.

    You can buy a 4GB Xbox and two years of Live for around $320.

    This monthly payments on this alone would be $360.

    I don't take part in console wars, but that being said I do prefer the xbox controller. I would say exclusives are equal, atleast for the games I would ever play. I miss the god of war series very much. I never played uncharted, so I don't know what I am missing. Paying $50 for a year of xbox live is fine with me. I enjoy the videos and insider moves, and like getting extra content earlier.

    For the record I like the playstation a lot, I just prefer the xbox.

    Wanna know why it's called the 360?

    Because when you see it, you do a 360 and get away from it.

    You know that plenty of people will fall for it. The whole point is about the spend less now, a lot of people won't even add it up to see which one is less....

    The 4 gig xbox is a joke though, I have my original 10 or 12 gig xbox from 7ish yeas ago, and just to install the wither 2 to the hard drive for a smoother experience it was 7.7 gigs.... To put that in perspective, skyrim was 3.2 gigs for me. If they get that one they will be dropping an additional 49.99-129.99 on an external hard drive.

    Blue, c'Mon man.... If you did a 360 you would be looking in the same direction you started in, or right back at the 360!

  • If I came in here and said anything about the PS3 I would be getting bashed. Real gamers own both consoles.

  • Sony has officially lost my business today. For the 4th or possibly 5th time, its happened so many times i can't remember. My PS3 has the yellow light of death. Screw them, I am just gonna wait and get me a new Xbox when they come out. End rant.

    That's because PS3 is superior to X Box..which is why most people in this thread own PS3. Owning both does not make you a real gamer. That's like owning a Chevelle and a Chevette because you're a car guy and like cars.

    I think you're going to be disappointed if you think that the first run of a new system is going to be more stable...

    Maybe so, but I had the 360 when it first came out, it got the RRoD. Microsoft repaired it for free, unlike Sony who has made me pay every time until i complained to the guy last time.

    The only complaint I had about the Xbox was that they made you pay for online. I had every xbox to date until a sold the most recent one. I am just pissed at Sony so screw them. Give me a product that actually works!!!

    That's because the first run of 360s had a failure rate through the roof, so in order to save face they were repairing them for free.

    If you've had five YLOD you either store your console in some place without the proper ventilation or are extremely unlucky.

    4 times.....that thermal paste they use is crap and they know it. Yet, they do not repair it for free. I have been a big Sony lover until now, I am just not gonna put up with having to pay 90$ and losing all my data every 8 months or so.

    Agreed. I am not participating in the flame wars anymore.

    I own all 3 consoles and each has it's strengths and weaknesses.

  • Both consoles failure rate is a joke. Switching consoles because of that is a waste of time.

    I have been through 7 xbox's and 3 PS3's.

  • I went through 2 Xbox consoles and this would be the 4th PS3. Both are sitting in very similar places. PS3 is great, but I just don't like how sony makes me pay for their shortcomings. And I am a broke college kid so both consoles are not an option right now haha

    I agree that it is BS that Sony charges $130 to replace some paste.

    Xbox does repair the RROD for free which is good.
