However I hope PS4 blows XBO out of the water, my 360 broke so many times and MS customer service was just terrible. Sick of MS, sticking to quality Japanese products from now on.

As much as I've been reaming the XBone in this thread, I will say that I doubt you will have anywhere near the quality issues that 360 had if you bought an XBone. They rushed the 360 out in order to beat the PS3 to the market, because they wouldn't have stood a chance, had they released in 2006. But the XBone wasn't rushed, and you and I know that MS isn't trying to spend $1 billion to fix any issues, or incur anymore negative press (the press for XBone was negative even before the reveal, because we knew about DRM way before we first saw the console.)

XBO was still rushed, and there were still issues in manufacturing (specifically the processors), but I agree XBO won't be as bad.

As for that $1,000,000,000 spend to fix issues, it was such bullshit. I got an extended warrenty on my 360, knowing it would break, and MS extended their warrenty to 3 years, and forced a factory recall on RRoD models. So when my system RRoD'd, I wasn't able to get a new model immediatly, I had to deal with Microsoft, which on probably at least 5 or 6 occurances, wouldn't admit my X-Box was broken. When they finally did admit it was broken, they sent me another broken model it replace it.

I had to b***h so much on the phone for them to replace my console with a new one, how is that service? When they finally did replace that system, the new one broke within a year, and since my warrenty was nearly expired, they wouldn't admit to the new system being broken.

I got real lucky, despite my Best Buy Warrenty being expired, the guy on the floor was real nice, and gave me a new console for free. An Arcade model, but still I got to keep my hard drive and I got a 3rd controller by accident.

Now my 4th 360 is breaking, and I have one of the more reliable HDMI fat models too, so.....I dunno about XBO. I'm expecting it to be as reliable as my 4th X-Box, which to be fair has given me 3 years so far, which is much better then the 1 year original 360's gave, but....3 years isn't enough. I'm still concerned about XBO quality, that's one big reason I'm going PS4.

Think I'm pretty much boycotting US products where I can, I'm sick of Apple phones breaking, XB consoles breaking, US cars dying prematurely, Dell Computers falling apart after only a few years, etc, etc.
