Is it always free to get a 360 repaired? When they return it, do they send you a new or do they just repair yours? And what are the chances of it breaking down again once you've got it back?
It took me about 2 months to decide whether to get a 360 or PS3. I definitely wanted somethin that's not known for breaking down, scratching discs, and being loud. I went to Circuit City planning on buying a PS3. My choice wasn't exacly final and a random store employee was enough to make me get a 360 instead. Refunded it after about a month deciding that I really wanted a PS3.
Now it's been about 4 months since I've had my PS3, and I really hate to say this, but I'm gettin a tad bit bored already (all my owned games listed in the profile). MGS4 and KZ2 are the only two exclusives that interested me, but MGS4's SP can't keep me entertained forever, and I was extremely dissapointed to find out that KZ2's online just wasn't my thing (this game was one of the big reasons I bought a PS3). Besides those, some other exclusives ended up boring me.
Anyways, I've been thinking about gettin a 360, but I'm not sure yet. I just don't feel safe owning a console with so many hardware failures. I seriously wish MS could've made it much more reliable, it would've made my choice much easier to make. How common are RRoD's nowadays?
If I ever manage to get over it's issues, I'll then have to decide if it'll be worth it - I'd be getting it mainly for Halo3 and Gears2. I actually haven't even played Halo 3 but seems like most people I know have it, so I should probably try it out first and not repeat what I did with my PS3.
I dunno if it's the games, or just me. I had a Gamecube and enjoyed it for almost 2 years (SSBM was ridiculously fun). Sometime after that, I got a taste of PC gaming. Found out about modding, then PC eventually became my main gaming platform for many years. I sold the GC somewhere around that time. When I finally jumped back into console gaming, it felt abit like a downgrade. Of course, I still love not being stuck to my desk anymore (and not having to worry about system reqs). Splitscreen was another huge plus, but some PS3 have this bad habit of focusing so much on graphics that they end up losing splitscreen.
Besides the questions, yes, this is a minor rant.
