that damn RROD thing keeps putting me off.

I can get an elite for a very good price (especially that it comes with a special feature that the ps3 currently doesn't have).Sure there's no online(there's no chance in hell I am paying for what clearly should be free) but my internet speed (and I shamefully say it) is only 256/32 Kbit/s so it never works the way it should anyway, and there's no bluray but I don't have an HD set yet, but there's still that special feature.

Why it's such a big deal eventhough some owners have claimed(and I hardly doubt it because parting with your main gaming system for 2 weeks is no laughting matter) that sending it in was no problem, is that I don't have that kind of option where I am, If it dies on me that's it,game over, I have to buy another one.

 

So if I rationalise my play sessions to no more than 3 hours and put a fan next to it is there a chance that it would survive 3-5 years? or is it only a matter of time before it puts on the infamous monochromatic light show?

 

P.S:Don't get me wrong, I still think PS3>360 and I am only getting it for (the ridiclously awesome) Gears of War.

(please only actual owners of the console)

Was that sentence really necessary? You don't have to justify your purchase of a 360 to the other PS3 fans on this site...
