Sony's marketing should take advantage of defective 360s.

I learned tolerance of defective consoles during the PS1 + PS2 eras.

Actually, my 360 has been no more problematic than my PS2, and less so than my PS1. And, hell, at least Microsoft admitted they had a problem and took care of it for me.

lets not act like ps2 or ps1 or in fact any system in HISTORY had a defective rate of anything close to the xbox 360...

This thread is flame bait true but your just not telling the truth... Sonys systems were way less the 360 thats a fact.

I wouldn't be so sure. It's pretty much impossible to get any numbers that would be reliable on things like this though. I wouldn't be surprised if the first PS2s were worse than the 360. Sony was certainly faster to fix the issues with the PS2 though.

absolutely not....... 33% people 33%......... ps2 was never that high. i bought every system first day and this is my 7th xbox... i never had to replace so many systems ever in my life.

I need a link proving that ps2 was anywhere near 33% (which i know it was not). M$ had to release a extended warranty...... they HAD to.... no one esle in history had to take a BILLION dollar hit on repairs of a console lol. guesses are not facts

I didn't say it was near the 360 failure rate. I suggest you learn to read.

You dont have to say it you hinted towards it. i suggest you go back to school and learn how to speak

Nope, I didn't even hint at it, and I suggest you go back to school and learn how to use proper capitalization and punctuation.

First things first, though: reading comprehension.

They should take the defective 360's, put them in a landfill, take footage of the landfill, and use it on a future commercial.

Hahaha yeah and they should play the Gears of War theme song on the commercial too.

You mean Madworld? That's not exactly their theme song :P It's just a good song to market the game haha.

ps1 and ps2 failure eras...gimme a break! Infact if we had to talk about an era, it would definitely be the xbox1 and 360 era for which the former failed miserably to gain console market share whereas the latter broke record in H/W failure rate. I don't understand why certain people just cherry pick such examples in a vague attempt without observing true facts. It could be personal problems like few ps2s or ps1 h/w failures..But we should take generally the whole scenario of console failure.

I had two PS2s that got the DREs. Every person I know with a PS2 has had DREs from time to time and most ended up replacing them.

Sony even settled the lawsuit: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6139482.html

And folks are cherry picking? You're funny. Tell that to the folks who had to take Sony to court to get their PS2 replaced.

What, son, what? New York, New York!!!
