Don't doubt it - that is the flat-rate repair cost no matter what it is.   Yeah you can buy a whole new console for the price of a GPU that is 4x stronger than the one in the console.

What you're not taking into acount is that you could also pay $50-$100  for a GPU that is as strong as the one you broke, or like I said - PAY $10 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.

Ok, keep gaming on PC and consider the breaks as no breaks.

WuT?  LOL you lost me.

We are talking about console durability and from your answer I understood you think it's irrelevant to count PC break downs.

I never said that at all.  In fact if you payed attention to many of the posts I made in this thread you would see that I said consoles are generally more reliable.  I said that when a PC breaks down though it is often far less of an issue because it is almost always only 1 part that needs replacing, and that part can be an upgrade that enhances your experience or far cheaper than what it takes to replace a console.
