Sued or not, the three year warrenty is umprecidented, and it is MS that is providing it.  

umprecidented would the console launched with the 3 year warranty.

like sony and panasonic LCD and plasma. they all have 3 year warranty but because the trust their high quality product.

The standard warranty is not 3 years unless governed by law. In the US you get a one year warranty at no cost. Show me a link to prove me wrong otherwise so next time I'll buy a Sony or Panasonic instead of a Vizio.



It's just that simple.

If warranties are you thing then you could always pay for more. Picture quality should be what steers you towards a Sony or Panny over a Vizio next time. Oh and I agree, it's not 3 years it's only 1.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Price and warranty of a Vizio was sitll cheaper then a Sony and I've known people with Vizio's running 7 days a week and still going 5+ years strong. I love my Vizio, basically just making a empty promise because I know 3 year warranties are not standard here.



It's just that simple.

The Xbox 360 breaks five times as often as often as its closest failure-prone competitor, the PlayStation 3, a print edition-only Game Informer survey found.

The poorly manufactured, red ring of death-prone console has a 54.2 percent failure rate, compared to 10.6 percent for the PS3 and the Wii's 6.8 percent.

this is very bad for microsoft / 360.

I hate this =( but it's true... i had for ring of deaths and my friend one. This is awesome, i think.

The ps3 is very good. no problems.



the best RPG's are coming 2013 !!!! oh my god, this is perfect for RPG-GAMER = ) Ni No Kuni - 25 january, Time and Eternity, tales of xillia (PS3) and the maybe best game ever: metal gear solid ground zero

Smart move Microsoft, without it, your sales would be much less what is it now?



so you are fighting over.....internet poll?

if i will make a poll:

"how did your ps3 broke down?
a)YLOD
b)broken BD
c)firmware instalation failure/bug"

will you take for granted that ps3 have 100% failure rate?

No. But X% of all the broken PS3 will be because of the YLOD and Y% will break because of firmware failures and etc.

Your point is senseless.

Well, actually his point is valid, the wording of the pole makes a huge difference, as well as the demographics. Something you obviously missed. I think in this pole, the demographics were a little off since the wording was obviously very clear, "did your Xbox get an RROD" or something to that nature.
