| Grey Acumen said: This is the biggest reason why I am looking at PS3 as a potential 2nd console instead of 360. The whole reason I play on consoles is because I expect those console to NOT break down. I still have my original NES console and it takes a bit of work to get the cartridges to read, but it does still play. |
Get a Jasper unit and don't worry about it. Yeah, it seems that it's more likely for a 360 to break down than a PS3, but you'd be missing out on some fun games and a growing library of discount stuff that is really great... I have all three consoles and if I could only have ONE of the three, I'd still choose the 360 as it has a great library of older, bargain titles, current awesomeness, and a healthy catalog of future games. The PS3 certainly has a solid catalog going forward but I'm a cheap ass and I like bargain games. This is precisely why I wanted a PS3 with backward compatibility as I can play PS2 bargains like FFXII, Shadow of Colossus, Norrath, and so on....
