Not trying to start a war here but if you are picking between a PS3 or 360 Elite, I would recommend the PS3 for a variety of reasons. Free online (yet not as good as Live), wifi built in, blu-ray, great games (both exclusives/multi) the list goes on. The Elite is a great pick as well just trying to give you options and get the most bang for your buck.

Read the thread -__________-

He has a PS3. Shovel your wares somewhere else

You really are making yourself look foolish for asking such questions. Why did you ask that??

Not everybody has a knowlege of these things you know.

On Topic:

Even I would admit that X360 failures have dropped since the new model came out, obviously as long as you stay away from the arcade and get an Elite then really you should have no problems (even if you do then it has 3 yr warrantee). There is a special trick to help prevent RROD, I heard if you leave your XBOX 360 on for 30mins on the dashboard then the fans will keep on running and help it cool down (turning it off straight way stops the fans, so the XBOX does not cool down after an intense gaming session, which can cause RROD).

The games are fun to some, it depends what you like, but seen as you have experience PS3 games, did you like them?? Because if you did, you should like xbox games. Personally I like Lost Odysee(JRPG), and Munch's Odysee (original Xbox game), apart from that I want Mass Effect 2 and that is it (to play on my boyfriends Xbox)

The Arcade has no hardrive (do not buy it!!). Use this link to compare features http://www.xbox.com/en-us/hardware/compare101.htm, hope this helps you out.

Edit: just click on XBOX 360 Consoles that link does not work for some strange reason lol.



it's the future of handheld

Why are people being rude? Are all 360 owners like this LOL!

I always thought that the R.R.O.D was a virus and I did do research before posting and didn't understand all that well and found the info confusing. So I made a post asking questions hopeing that people could give me simple/better answers. Some people did help so thanks while others were just being oddly rude for some reason???

Anyway I am making a new thread called "Next Gen Switch" if anyone wants to know what I dicided to do.
