People, who take these things seriously, rip people because it doesn't make sense for someone to go against their own ideology in the twinkle of an eye. It's hard to value the ideas of people who act this way.

I've never thought of different brands of video game consoles as ideologies. Maybe I'm just weird like that.

 

Congrats,I wish i can own a PS3 But too much money to invest right now:((

I'm sure the E-74 article and all the well documented problems with the 360 hardware is mearly conjecture, to say nothing for RROD. Although I am shocked that the gaming press, and gamers themselves, haven't latched onto the fact that you've read about DOZENS of stories about failing Blu-Ray players.

So let me get this, you have absolutely no proof the E-74 error is any worse than Blu-ray failures and you call me an idiot?  Quit talking out of your ass.  There is not enough documentation either way and you know it.

Holy crap. Did you read the article at Joystiq? Are you denying the 360 has had huge hardware problems? I may not have access to MS's internal documents, but I have something. I have years of media coverage, a litany of pissed-off gamers, and MS's own addmission to and retro-active warranty to cover the RROD debacle, which took almost 2 years to unfold. In other words I have precedent/recent history to go by. And that is all well documented. And again do some research. Read up on it. Learn that the instances of searches regarding E-74 have gone up dramatically on internet search engines in recent months and then tell me I have nothing to go by. What do you think is happening? Did the search term "E-74" just randomly begin to see an upswing? Is there a huge, organanized conspiracy to ruin the 360? Help me out here.....

BHR-3: Are you still going to get another PS3

And then you Said you sold those two games back to walmart, problem there is that the games come in one case and if I remember correctly there is no barcode on that case. Something just doesn't fit.   You got me who the are you anyway with ur little 5 posts account to bust my chops i thought it would of been someone with a higher post count or a familiar 360 fan to get me on that  ok i never got kung fu panda or indiana jones with the arcade i just put it down b/c i didnt want to get a bunch of flame posts about how much i wasted to switch over i wanted it to seem like a got a good deal i really spent around 140+$ + tax stuff to do the whole switch over i fixed the original post i thought it would of went by unnoticed didnt think people knew the bundle data but i bet they looked at my pricing hystory thread to get it why would you feel the need to lie about bundle data to make your purchase look better? I didn't realize that "flame posts" got to people that much. If you're worried about them, you should have simply kept your purchase decision to yourself

This.

BHR-3 was the type of ps3 owner that could be described as a fanboy. "fanboyism" centers around an ideology. If you argue time and time again that something is "the best" then come back tomorow with something else who'd listen to you next time? It's called flip-flopping. No one respects flip-flops. I don't care about this stuff but it's obvious that the OP cares because he won't have cherry-coated the details if he didn't

 

 

a year ago this was a good idea/deal but right now you got ripped.as long as you are happy ,it's all that matters.

missing out on uncharted 2,gow 3,heavy rain is not fun but hey you get some games on that side instead.

Hey Leo... Be sure to check out the Xbox Original downloads and Xbox Arcade, especially the former as you can get some pretty cheap/awesome games there.

Yes the 360 did have a problem with the RROD, I have had it and by no means did I say it NEVER had problems.   I just dispute the E-74 error being worse than the Blu-Ray failure.  And there is no proof either way.  An article or 2 doesn't count as proof by the way.  

The simple fact is the RROD issue is pretty much dead and gone, and a lot of people (PS3 zealots mainly)  want there to be another issue.  I am not saying that the 360 is the best piece of equipment ever made.  I am just saying that it is now just as reliable as a PS3.  And I have yet to see any "proof" I am wrong. 

How many real life people do I know who have had the E-74 error?  0

How many real life people do I know who have had issues with blu-ray in some fashion? 2  Out of those 2 people how many were replaced free?  0

Seems if you use the Bluray drive alot it will burn out just after warranty.
