Yeah, but I don't want to have to buy another in 6, 12 or even 18 months because mine failed. I've never bought a console that failed within 10 years of use before and the odds are a 360 purchased tomorrow will fail within two. Microsoft is mum about failure rates -- they have something to hide, after all -- but many suspect it is in the 30% to 50% range after 12 months.
If the breeze on the Internet suggests that failure rates drop with the .65nm process migration, I'll grab me a 360 then. Assuming, of course, that the PS3 hasn't gotten significantly cheaper than the 360 (the 360 has more games I want and is therefore more valuable to me).
