I'm going to trade from Xbox 360 into PS3 soon, probably in next month, I just got very sick of 3 red ring of death and that what I got at twice, not very pleasant about MS's job with Xbox 360, especially on poor design of hardware that make effective to cool on PPC and alot of heat in my room. I have got enough with that and decide about switch to PS3, PS3 would be my only console to keep, along with my PC as well. I'm not worry about exclusive games that release on Xbox 360 but I know that GOW 2 and Halo 3 could port to PC, that's not big deal.

Any tips or hints on PS3 is accepted, also post concern about Xbox 360 is accepted as well.

No console war, just keep peace.

Wish me a good luck, I'm long lived PS gamer.
 
Long live Pacman! Pacman is one of the greatest game and certain better than overrated super mario 1.
 
Like I say Pacman, I'm no Xbox hater nor a fanboy. Don't get me wrong, I love my Xbox that I once had, only to end up switching to PS3 because of many issue that Xbox had due to not just RROD but hardware itself. Opinion hard drive, no blueray support, no 1080p support(now it does) no backward compatible(only few games) Payment service, I could go on...there are many reasons but as a deaf gamer Xbox may have better online service and more deaf friends worldwide. I have no reason to hate M$ but they need to improve better hardware issue they had. I love Sony because they have alot to offer...
 
I think I've read somewhere that Epic games said that Gears of War 2 is not planned to be on PC at all...but who knows.

Good luck.

I hope Microsoft's next console will NOT be rushed and not use the cheap and crappy hardware that ends up crashing all the time.

They will do after release to Xbox 360, this game need to have re-written to support x86 (Intel/AMD) and Windows OS (XP/Vista), that how works on PC.

When EPIC said not around time, they aren't developing right now but will do after release to Xbox 360.
 
I have change my mind to not get PS3 in anytime, I don't feel like too exciting about PS3 then I just decided to keep Xbox 360 because of GOW2.

I was supposed to buy arcade version of Xbox 360 that offers HDMI built-in but not going get one until I get red ring of death again.
 
Hmm alright.I suppose could still save u some money. Lots of games to get this fall lol.

Gears of War 2, Mirror's Edge, Call of Duty : World at War, Dead Space, and Resistance 2.

I'm getting World at War for the PS3 version thou.
 
Goddamn Microsoft...now I'm one of those victims who have my 2nd Xbox360 crashed with the famous "ring of death."

Xbox360 has by far the shittest hardware EVER made. I never had any problems with previous consoles until Xbox360.

I dont know if I want to send in it to Microsoft for the repairs cause I dont want to pay that much money like a fucking rip off. But of course I've heard that they've expanded the warranty to 3 years so I hope it means that I would get mine repaired for free? cause I've got my 2nd Xbox360 back in october 2006 so it should still be free for me.

If not, then I'm thru with it and sticking to other consoles that arent as fucked as Xbox360.

Whoa, I'm not very surprised to see happen like that again, I'm worried about my Xbox 360 will get RROD again in later time, if happen after warranty expire then I will send my $$$ on arcade version since I have HDD and component cable.

If you have RROD then you are on 3 years warranty, all counted from your first Xbox 360 that got RROD in 2006 or 2007, all console from launch day is expire in Nov 2008.

You need call MS for more info, they will define if your console is under warranty or not.

All Xbox 360 with Opus motherboard like you have one, from Nov 2005 to Aug or Sept 2007 has very higher rate of hardware failure since Falcon motherboard (Sept 2007 to Aug 2008) has low like under 10% and possibly very low on recently new Jasper motherboard (after August 2008).
 
Hmm I see...alright I'll contact microsoft and find out if mine is still under warranty. If I find out I have to pay for any repair, then forget it. Microsoft can kiss my ass for all I care. They just made those shit to get more money out of you.
 
I've emailed Microsoft about my issue...I'm expecting for their response for the next 2 business days. If not heard from Microsoft on Monday, then I'll try to call them then.
 
I havent called Microsoft yet so I will do that this weekend...been abit too busy this week.
 
Reminds me why I am thankful I never traded my PS3 in for another 360. Right now my original PS2-chip 60G is getting ready to collect Social Security :rofl: So I might as well grab a 80G PS3 just to play PS3 games and let the 60G do PS2 games.

Another 360? I doubt cuz M$ aint never learned their lesson with quality hardware. Even if M$ did improve the stuff inside the 360, I'm still not buy one again unless they come up with the xbox720. And they better not rush the xbox720 or I'm gonna be so pissed off at em.

If they did go another year head start with the next Xbox console, I would find it difficult to trust them with their next hardware so...if that happens, then forget it they aint getting my money that easy til I wait a very good while to see how it goes.
 
Just got email from Microsoft with the UPS delivery label...I guess they wont send out shipping boxes anymore due to theifs out there so...I guess have to get a big box from CVS or something then take it to the local UPS store in my town and have it shipped to the nearest repair center which would be in TX.

Ah well...at least they said it will be repaired for free which is good.

If that happens for the third time, then STRIKE! Game Over for Microsoft.

Lol, I hopefully won't happen again after that, MS need take so seriously.

For me, if happen again, if still under warranty then I will send it to repair then buy arcade version of Xbox 360 and will sell old Xbox 360 at Gamestop, I don't want have any deal with stupid red ring of death, if not under warranty then throw in trash and buy new one.

If happen again and not under warranty, why not just wait for Xbox720 to see if it improved over the Xbox360? I know its a long way off but of course...sometimes the wait is worth it.
 
Microsoft Repair Center in Texas has recieved my system so thats good news. They will begin the repairing and return it to me in about 2 or 3 weeks.
