Last month my friends 360 died for the second time. I had been trying to pursuade him to get a PS3 for years. When Microsoft wanted $100 to fix his 360's DVD drive there was nothing I needed to say. There are still consoles out there waiting to die. I've been reading up, Microsoft was gung ho about getting the 360 out by Crismas 05. They cut corners and had a "deal with it later" philosophy. They did a lot of things right. You agree that the 360 is a powerful system right? How did they get such a powerful machine out so early? RROD is your answer.

Be careful how quick you are to gloat about the reliability of the PS3, I've taken mine off DVD duties as I hear more and more about Bluray lasers failing. If the problem becomes as wide spread as the issues in the DVD drive of the PS2 then your comments may come back to haunt you. Looking at your post history though you're probably too blind to notice anything negative in the PS3 world.

Huh? One PS3 fails for every thousand 360's. If that wasn't a fact there might be some merit you your statement. If the gap wasn't so huge it would be a Non-issue.
