PS3 = After reports of X360 problems you still preordering one?

[videoholic]

Well I haven\'t played it in 4 years...


One thing Sony does do is use the asian market as lab rats for the US.  So we have that going for us..  Which is nice.

i have my original PS2 also, never had a problem.

I still have my original PS2, collecting dust....aka broken and sitting in my closet.

lol this probably explains why we\'re so bitter.  My PS2 breaks and yours works fine, yet you experience xboxs breaking and I\'ve never seen anything but flawless ones.

Both of mine had problems but got lots of play :]

I have my original PS2 from the initial batch as well. Accept I have made a few laser adjustments. But it still plays.


 Yes I will pre-order one

My PS2 from the first batch still works fine.  Just played ICO again the other day.

That said, of friends/family who bought PS2 and Xbox, I count:

1 out of 4 xbox\'s went bad - he got rid of it.
and 1 out of 11 PS2s wents bad, but I opened it up and cleaned and tightened it all up for him, and it worked again.

Most people I know have PS2s, obviously.  Both the \'bad\' ones went bad after about 1.5 years.  The PS2 stopped reading any disks, and the Xbox \'burned\' out.  It would turn on but the graphics were all funky and wierd.  Cleaning it out revealed no obvious problems/burns.

I will preorder a couple just to resell. I don\'t think I trust Sony enough to grab a system for myself at launch. I\'ll wait a month or two before grabbing one this time.

Both companies have made shoddy products at launch. MS more so - but I still don\'t trust Sony enough to buy one on launch day. Now after the PSones and PS2s...




Bullshit.

OS errors..
Heating problems.
Power supply problems.
Faulty HD\'s.
Wireless connection problems.

You can\'t tell me that ALL these problems just "slipped" by. And if they did indeed just slip by, it speaks volumes about the quality control goin\' on.

Hi LC, do you know the percentage of defective units ?  ...I was planning to get an X360 at launch....maybe I\'ll wait a bit more...

better wait

I think I\'m gonna preorder a couple PS3s and keep one then sell the rest on ebay and make some cash

for some reason I will pre-order a ps3. I dunno I just think ps3 will have a much better launch than360.  Maybe I am just not all that excited about gaming now. I played the kameo demo and it was kick ass.

The sports games seemed real rushed. Nba2k6 seemed bootleg to me. The xbox version seemed more polished. I dunno madden 360 has no appeal to me. Worst than madden for ps2 IMHO.

I\'m definitely pre-ordering Revolution though. I\'m aaaall over that shit.

I haven\'t done this yet, but this time I think I\'m going to pre-order a few of them. eBay is TeH w1N! Seriously...people pay absurd prices for these things.

That\'s waht I did with my 360. Pre-oredered 2, kept one and sold the other on ebay for $880. (minus shipping, ebay fees, and paypal fees.)

My Xbox 360, one extra wireless controller, and 2 games cost me $270 after the sale of the 2nd.
