| Taz! said: My PS3 got the YLOD, I hate breakages, so instead of paying £128 to get it fixed I sold all my games and got a blu ray player. I really want a new PS3 now, but have just bought a non-replaceable Blu-Ray player.....so Im turning to the 360 and think I should try it out. However, it's in fifth year (me thinks) and Im not sure spending £250 for an Elite + MW2 + FM3 + Live is worth it if a new Xbox will be soon around the corner. So, how long is the 360 going to last? Predictions plz ;) |
Wait, you're thinking of spending more than it costs to fix your existing console to buy a product known to have a higher failure rate because your console with a lower failure rate broke and have already sold all your games? Oh, and you're also going to move from a free online environment to an ongoing subscription?
If you're that against failure you might want to rethink your strategy there. In fact, sounds like you should be getting a Wii.
As for new 360, who knows? In theory it'll come sooner than a new PS but it's clear MS want to extend the life a little. Wait and see how Natal sells, that will likely be a good pointer for whether MS decide to keep 360 on shelves longer or reach for a new model.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
