PS3 since mine broke roughly a year and a half later, I should have just gone with a 360 from the start and would have saved money and anger back then.


So you're saying you should of went with the 360 which had a even worse hardware failure than any other console in that gen (maybe of any console gen) because your ps3 broke a year and half in? Hmmm. 


Considering I actually went with a 360 and mine never failed throughout the gen, I'd say it was the better deal than simply forking over the same amount it took to buy the expensive PS3 back then (Which was also known to suffer just as much with the YLOD).

Apart from that I suffered no hardware failure in the 360 side.


You must of been one of the lucky few then. How often did you play video games?

Played quite often, online too for around 5 and a half years and didn't have a single problem with it tbh, I don't see how I'm one of the lucky few, you make it sound like 99.9% were factually broken, that and you seem on edge simply because the PS3 was not only expensive at the time but that we were also told to get a second job in order to afford it, also it having it's fair share of hardware issues, the 3 was far from perfect itself.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Yes, the Xbox 360. Bought it to play Forza, but it turns out I didn't liked any Forza at all. :/



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Both the PS3 and 3DS, sort of. The PS3 saw tons of usage at it's outset, Metal Gear 4, Uncharted 1&2, Assassin's Creed 1&2, Batman 1&2, Vanquish, Red Dead, etc., to name a few. However since about two years ago, with the exception of the fantastic Dishonored, my PS3 has sat on a shelf beneath my tv, covered by a towel to avoid collecting too much dust. It was a really great investment for the first 1.5 years but it's seen the most of it's usefulness.

With the 3DS it's hating that Nintendo keeps remaking the fucking thing every year, making it's previous versions basically obsolete. Also my budget doesn't allow for all the games on this console that I want to own. /fwp

It had a failure rate of 54.2% while the others don't even have a quarter of that. http://www.ign.com/articles/2009/08/17/report-xbox-360-failure-rate-reaches-54

I'm not disputing anything you're saying about the ps3. It was expensive, it broke, difficult to develope for (I added that bit in) and it wasn't perfect. Now, I'm disputing your perception that you don't see yourself as one of the lucky ones with your 360 not breaking. The only reason why I bothered to respond to your first post was because you said that you should of went with the 360 in the first place and it wouldn't of broke like it had a reputation for not breaking. The fact that your 360 didn't break made you lucky. I'm not making excuses for any console. I'm literally saying that the 360 breaks alot. There's really no rebuttal to that.

Yes, Xbox 360.

Bought it in 2007 due to good looking system, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Lost Odyssey, but got RROD in not less than 1 and a half years. Sent it to the repair shop and the cost to repair it was expensive, almost the same as its price.......so I left there at the repair shop and never brought it back ever since. The warranty was only one year so I can't trade for a new one. I was pissed and disappointed at the same time. Pissed due to RROD and disappointed because I can't play those games that I wanted

After a few months of grief there's a PS3 promotion with 30% discount with 2 free games at my nearest retailers. It was a great deal and I immediately purchased it along with Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Heavenly Sword plus 2 more games; Genji 2 and Killzone 2. And since then a lot more exclusives came out like Uncharted 2, Demon Souls and 3rd party games like Assassins Creed Brotherhood and I enjoyed my PS3 a lot!
