It does not require two weeks of my time. It requires one phone call, and then the time to take the package to the nearest place to be shipped off. It would be an annoyance to not be able to play the console for a bit, but I often go a week or more not playing games anyways due to lack of interest. I assure you that me buying a PS3 would do nothing to change this as well. I would go far longer than 2 weeks in-between gaming sessions on it because it has fewer games I want to play.

Edit: And where are you getting this non-sense about the reduced warranty for the RROD? I have never heard a more absurd claim on these boards.

And my 60gb PS3 is worth more as a PS2 console than a PS3 if I go by the difference in used 60gbs vs 40gb PS3s.

"We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even it didn't have games," Reeves told Computer and Video Games in an interview.

Yup, such saints

I wasn't referring to a reduced warranty for RROD specifically, just the 360 in general.

What I was referring to unfortunately I can't find in the search.  But there was a thread a couple days ago where someone mentioned something about with newer 360's having to buy the extended warranty and that it only covered 2 years and 3 months or something along those lines.

Then again, I can't find the thread either, and who's to say that person was right as well.  I don't recall who it was from, but I remember them being someone I thought fairly reliable.  Again - that doesn't mean it was true.

In all honesty, I'd rather have the system where I don't have to worry about having a warranty.

Oh and also, point taken on the games and amount of playing time. Exclusives will appeal to different people. 360 exclusives appeal to you. Fair enough.

Play PC games? The PS3 current exclusives library does not justify the $400 cost, IMO. I certainly wouldn't buy another 360 and a gamming computer can be built for under $600 these days.

 Standard length of a warranty in the US is only a year, and the three year warranty only covers the RRoD. Chances are someone was talking about an extended normal warranty rather than the RRoD specific warranty.

 Oh and if you ever find a console where you don't have to worry about a warranty please let me know. Everyone single piece of electronic and mechanical equipment I have ever heard of needs a warranty. Everything that works can break, and that is what a warranty is for. So logn as your system works you have a warranty you need to worry about.

          Actually I just got a brand new Elite with the new chip design.  When I registered it with microsoft XBox Support my warranty was full coverage for 3 years (2011), free of charge.  I think the new 60g models are the only ones not covered for 3 years, just 1 year, but I can not confirm this either, because I do not own a 60g.  

Still, 3 years for a brand new console is sweeeet!   I would continue getting my 360 fixed after RROD's, if they happend because....... it gets fixed quick, for free, and the 360 has the largest and best library of games!

Doesn't matter how many 360s you go through so long as it's still covered by the extended warranty.

If you have enough games on the platform, you're more or less tied to it, but there still isn't any reason to buy a second console.

Extend your game options, buy a PS3 and wait until the 360 gets refurbed.

How many million sellers does PS3 have again??? 360 has 43 not including XBLA games. LOL last time I checked PS3 has mainly ports from 360 games and games that came out for the 360 a month before coming to Japan so I doubt they have good reviews there. Also how many RPG's does PS3? Starcraft is correct and no spinning is involved for you to be proven wrong.
