You can repair your ps3 at a cheaper price too. Go to a chinese mall and get it repaired for less money.

LOL I'm sure the 360 can be fixed for cheaper as well (not that you have to worry about it as its FREE for the first 3 years.

 

At the end of the day this artical hinges on the reapir box. And that doesn't make the 360 cost more.


The most serious problem known for (mostly old) PS3s is the general hardware failure known as YLOD (yellow light of death) and in the rare occurance of your PS3 getting that, Sony repairs it for around $150, no more than that.

On the other hand: ARE XBOX OWNERS AWARE (still feeling comfy MS is always there to repair their fragile 360 every other odd week) THAT IN EXACTLY 3 YEARS AFTER THEIR PURCHASE THEY WILL FIND THEMSELVES WITHOUT A CONSOLE AS SOON AS IT BREAKS? (and it certainly will again, you know that's more certain than the second coming of Christ). Meaning they will have to pay Microsoft for repairs, which would be totally pointless since the repair costs would be close to buying a whole brand-new console. So yeah, you will end up buying another 360/shelling out an extra ~$140, no matter what.
