Do your airmiles expire? If not, like I said, I'd hold out on the decision until Microsoft fixes its design problems and Sony gets more games out.

And what design problems would that be? If your refering to the high console fail rate, that was the initial shipments. I have yet to see any evidence that there's anything wrong with 360's made in the last 10 months.

As for the topic, I'd chose the 360 over the PS3 if they were both free. Of course, I have no high def tv and still watch quite a few VHS movies...

Shane of EGM and 1up.com said on 1ups latest podcast "Amoung the 360's at EGM we've had around 75% failure rate so far"

Mark of gamevideos.com and 1up.com said right after Shane "Yup, probably the same at gamevideos"
