| chingrin said: Japan has 20 mil people in Tokyo alone. I don't think even a couple million people could really take down a Giant like Sony just by saying they have "kill switches" I mean look at how much Red Ring has actualy been proven and people are still buying 360's |
Microsoft has taken steps to improve the 360 situation though. ie. Falcon chipset 360s are cooler-running than the early models and Jasper chipsets are much cooler than that. I was very aware of RRoD when I bought the 360 but these are some of the reasons why I felt the 360 was a less risky purchase: 3 year RRoD and e74 warranty (the two biggest problems with the 360. And I knew that installing to the hard drive fully would minimize chance for DVD drive failure) vs. just 1 year standard warranty for PS3. Replacement Arcade (worst case scenario since you can keep your old HDD) = $200, Replacement PS3 (at the time) = $400. And I was aware that the Falcon chipset ran cooler (not as well as the very cool running Jasper obviously but I didn't want to bloody wait any longer to upgrade to this gen).
