but I never had any problems with the X360, only the RLOD a few times.
Excuse my ignorance... but isn't the RLOD a 'problem'? In fact, I'd go so far as to venture it is a serious problem... But, I've never owned a 360 or had to deal with sending it away for week(s) to be repaired, so I wouldn't know from experience.
I've had mine RROD (Red Ring Of Death" twice, and both times I got it back in 3 days, with a free month membership card. With all the problems I see people have with the PS3, I really think its just a case of sony's fanboys being louder than the xbox's
In college my roommate's xbox went red three different times in two years. The first time it took weeks (yes, there is an 's' on the end making it plural) to get back. The second time took around a week, and the third time I don't know the exact length because he was at home when it happened.
Call me a fanboi, but in my mind those problems are pretty freaking horrendous and have nothing to do with the console wars or fanboy propaganda.
And, again, call me a fanboi, but (aside from this network/clock incident) I have never heard of a ps3 problem before.
I admit I do own a ps3 but I am far from a die hard fanboy. I got it because it comes with a free bluray player (I got it back when a stand-alone blueray box cost more than a ps3) but to this date I have never experienced a technical problem
ever with my ps3. I know the ps3 is a stronger, better machine when it comes to the hardware. Others can waste their breath arguing about which is a better gaming console all other things considered, but I think it is pretty fair to say the 'xbox hardware problems' are not simply a result of sony fanboys being louder than microsoft's.
Again, I don't give a crap about which is the better console all other things considered. I'll actually add that if I gamed primarily on console, I'd have gotten an xbox (its of my opinion it is a better multiplayer gaming system for a number of reasons). All I am referring to are the hardware problems; this incident is the
first time I have ever heard of a widespread hardware problem with the ps3.
