Your source for the 360 failure rate is 22 months out of date. I know it’s still horribly unreliable, & I wouldn’t touch one with a barge pole, but I’m sure Microsoft has dragged the average kicking, screaming & red ringing down to around the 15% mark by now.

Oh, & the PS3 hard drive, you can buy them with 160GB now so you might want to amend your 40GB-80GB bit.

Bill got served!!

@Alan No i haven’t

@Kaden101 Valid points , i’ll amend the cahrt. I think i’ll remove the failure rate field just till i find a more up-to-date source.
Thanks for your input.

In the PS3 the wireless card in original launch release was not included in the 20gb versions, also b/c in the eu versions is really limited to the 60gb versions.

the 360 now has themes, it always had themes, it even had a theme section in the blade systems. I remember, I used the dead rising theme.

the 360 has 3 usb ports, look at the back, you will find the 3rd. I am surprised you hadn’t noticed this since you have gone through 2 already, be sure to keep them in a clean environment with good air flow.

360 “wireless” controllers can be used with the pc, with this http://img25.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xboxusb1.jpg, i have used one. they are quite handy, also you can connect the 360 head set through it. both wired (through the controller) and the wireless one. A friend uses his head set to talk through skype.

my launch 360 uses vga output, which is superior to component even if just for bypassing some hd restrictions.

Please do some research in to this next time. There is always the truth, using your own truth is rather bad play especially when passing it on as unbiased fact for people to base judgements on.

Thanks for your input Elderan. Totally missed the 3rd USB on the back Also the wireless controller PC connection looks cool, might look into getting one of those as i do find the 360 controller layout to be more comfortable.

I keep my 360 on a shelf with at least 10cm clearance either edge, though the one Gamestation gave me made soo much noise before it died, i’m pretty sure there was a fan prob in it. Though out of interest do you keep yours flat or standing upright?

The truth can take a long time to materialize, thats why this is and open list

mine is kept lying flat, always has been.

You can not allow fact to be based on incomplete truths though, that is incredibly irratating to me, I apologise.

Yeah i keep mine flat too. Maybe i’ll have to pray to the RROD God, or maybe a human sacrifice.

Whilst you’re praying to the RROD God, you might also want to bow down to the E74 King, & the Lord of scratchy DVD’s. At least Microsoft are now covering the E74 errors under their warranty (better late than never). Maybe they’ll accept responsibility for the DVD scratching by 2011. That billion dollar “we built it broken” fund they put aside might start needing a top up at this rate. It may be a wonderful piece of kit, but as an example, if you you bought a brand new car & it was in the shop every 3 months due inherent faults, it wouldn’t matter how good the warranty was, you’d demand a permanent fix, or you’d never go near them again, & yet 360 fans will defend Microsoft to hell & back about how good their warranty & customer service is, because it’s replaced for another defective product free of charge. I don’t get it, would someone please explain it to me as I really don’t understand the mentatility.

I did have an xbox 360 elite before it got stolen, but i don’t know how they compare in reliability, if there is a different reliability between that of a standard xbox might be worth adding to the table. As for PS3, I like it, but I’ve been put off by the price, but you do get what you pay for! I guess if you add up yearly subscription fee, and put that money into a ps3 instead it pays dividends. But I don’t know why people defend a clearly substandard product. Even if elderan argues his hasn’t broken, he is clearly an exception to the rule. You have to go with the majority. Have an xbox flat, or laying down is irrelevant, it is clearly design to be standing, or lying down, so there is design flaw there isn’t there!

@Kaden101

There are many 360 Gods about, One of my breakdowns was an E74. I think that if they spent a little bit longer devising a better cooling system, it would be far more reliable. I found an article earlier today about the 360s cooling (it is rather old though 2007).

http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20070801/137224/

This article shows that the GPU can reach above 100°C. I’ve been building high end PCs a long time now, Temperatures like that are VERY bad!!!

Bill, I know what you mean, 100°C is meltdown temperature – I began to think the temperatures in GPU’s were getting a bit scary when I put a Radeon HD3870 into my PC a while back & saw the temperature go well into the 80′s. Needless to say, I changed the GPU fan/heatsink for a better one straight away. This isn’t really an option for a console as you’re not meant to take it apart, so constant temperatures that high are not good at all – Microsoft could have done 2 simple things to aid temperatures, 1. redesigned the case/heatsinks for better cooling (even if it meant bigger box – Sony managed it & put a PSU, bluetooth & Wi-Fi in there as well), & 2. not overclocked every possible component to within an inch of it’s life – these things have been issues for PC builders for years now, & yet Microsoft seemed to be oblivious to it during the development of the 360.

Yeah i remember installing an Nvidia 8800GTX, that thing managed to idle at 50-60 and easily reached into the 80s (and thats with the freaking huge heat sink). I think if you combine the Xbox and its PSU it works out to be the same volume as the PS3, would be much much heavier though. I’ve seen a few disassembles of the PS3 and the heat sink covers the entire board, and is cooled by a single 160mm fan. the board is also quite cleverly mounted upside down, which must help with dust buildup.

The 360 is OC’d? WTF thats insane!

If the 360 was a bit quieter, a bit more reliable, & a bit more integrated, ie the PSU, HDD, & Wi-fi (which I do need), & didn’t charge for the online (I already pay monthly for the internet, I don’t need another bill, no matter how small) then I might have considered a 360 some time ago due to it being initially cheaper, & there is one or two games that I’d like to give a go – Fable II for a start, oh when oh when will this turn up on PC. As it stands I’m more than happy with my PS3. Home is just starting to get good, & we’ve got some really good titles out & on the way. Roll on Gran Turismo 5, & God of War III. Infamous looks like it’ll bridge the gap for a while. March & April so far have been quiet on the game front (not fussed for Resi 5, or Street Fighter 4). Decided to go old school & finally get Final Fantasy X-2 completed before I donate my PS2 to relatives.

You seriously think that our reviews are bias??

new 360 have Wireless Card built in now

xbox 360 is better than ps3, but they r very close but xbox is still better.

xbox 360 still has problems overheating and the mother boards frying. Nothing has changed. Especially with kinect. This is a complete waste of time to buy this product

@ dean the ps3 fanboy: the psn has online hacking and failure problems for no matter what game you play

xbox 360 slim now has 250 gb built in

@Anonymous the Xbox fanboy: You, sir, are an idiot. Who gives a s*** if Xbox now has 250gb? Its just copying the PS3 because Microsoft is jealous of Sony’s superiority. Playstation Network will be back up by the end of this week. It’s not like we’re paying $50 a year to play online. Besides, Xbox has also been hacked and shutdown MANY times before, so don’t get all high and mighty. And don’t forget the RED RING OF DEATH. It’s still affecting every 36 out of 100 consoles, rendering them useless paperweights.

Oh, and have fun with Halo: Reach and Gears of War, because those are the only two DECENT exclusive franchises Xbox has besides Fable. Playstation has WAY more AMAZING exclusive franchises than Xbox does, and offers much more. You can TRY to prove me wrong, but, just like the Xbox, you will fail in a major way.

might i point out the pc gaming system is the best

dude did you read it. ps3 has more memory it dos’t get a red ring of death it dos’t freeze (fallout exception) . im not trying to be an ass but im guessing you never had a ps3 and you got xbox. i had an xbox always pissed me off when it froze and when my xbox was stolen it was so much trying to end my gold

This article is out date, Bill who wrote this article owns an PS3 and much prefers it to Xbox Thanks for the comment though.

thank you i know it sucks

PS3 is in last place in sales. Enough said

i use to own an xbox360 then it got red rings and best thing i ever did was smash the s*** out of it with a sledgehammer there is no way i was gonna pay $120 for online the kinect is a knockofff of the eyetoy and motion sensor bar from wii and ps2. to many misplaced parts in the xbox 360 mettalic sticker between the fan and motherboard. the games are horrible except for a select few. avatar system is stupid no way spending money on avatar parts like eyes and clothes some other crap. they should off stuck to fixing the existing issues before adding more crap to there plate.achievement points are useless. PC is better for overrall reason.
Create your own mods or add mods to games. change the graphics and controls with ease adjust the sound use usb controller free online play with games such as Resident evil 5 and street fighter. unlimited resources make your own games design you own site. the list goes on.
ps3 beats xbox360. but PC conquers all!!!!

Lol Ps3′s network has been down 4 times in 1 year. My old xbox 360 lasted longer than my PS3 Slim. And the kinect is 10 times better than the playstation move. Shove it up your ass ps3 fanboy

Haha you make me laugh you prick. PSN is down AGAIN. And your statement is false, xbox live has gone down twice in 6 years. 1 time for hacking ( only 2 days) and the other time fore maintenance ( 1 week). Please do research before you post a dumbass answer like that. Also the PS3 has its hardware problems for its own. Ever heard of the Yellow Light of Death? yeah i know a shitload of people that have gotten that. Oh and Halo is one of the best selling franchises of all time, another thing you stated that is incorrect. And the only thing i will give you is that you have killzone and that isnt that good.

you are horribly wrong. if u look it up the ps3 after being released one year and 3 mths after xbox is now sold 500k more systems then xbox worldwide.

The WII “stopped being a game console”?

Well, I came here to look at some PS3-Xbox comparisons, but since I’ve noticed you’re criticizing the WII, I thought I would just post my thoughts concerning it here.
I understand the WII is generally a family orientated console, but since you can still play games on it that you normally wouldn’t play with your family etc (including those rated 18), I wouldn’t make up a negative remark like that. I have a WII, and yes I would use a PS3 or Xbox on almost all circumstances, if only I knew the PS3 and Xbox generally outclassed the WII at the time I got it (I was 12). I’m not allowed to get either of these consoles now, or replace the WII with either of them. Simple. As. That. Therefore I’m forced to stick to the WII when playing some of my games. :p

I’m thankful that my PS3 was hacked.  I got 4 free games from it! a $240 value.  (I have to PSN accounts so I got twice as many games.  =)  Xbox is still cool though.

If you have a good PC and a game is for both console and PC, Get the game for PC!  People need to give it a chance.

Xbots still claim Xbox is better even with the facts right in front of them.  Ignorance is bliss I guess.

you sir are and absolute queer! with a narrow mind and a judgmental attitude to you say, fuck off nigga!

@Anonymous you are awesome because everyone knows that ps3 is better, xbox people just dont want to say coz they’ll just look stupid. ps3: free online play, reliable system, remote connection, built in blu-ray, 3d compatible, six-axis controller. 
Lair and Heavenly Sword, Little big planet and MGS 4, God of War 3!, Killzone, Resistance, and Motorstorm R+C:TOD, Warhawk, Uncharted, and NGS. a wider variety of games the only exclusives the xbox have are shooters, which they only have like two, God of war and halo, if halo is cool anymore. 

I honestly (not to start a fight) like the xbox better. I like the feel of the controller better than the ps3′s. That really is the only thing I don’t like about the ps3, the controllers hurt your hand all the time and the controls are backwards lol (plz I don’t mean tostart a fight)

Your ALL fucking dumbshits. Microsoft is copying Sony just because they made a bigger hard drive? And xbox is better because it has halo? What the fuck people get your heads out your bitch asses, your all saying the STUPIDEST shit to praise your favorite consol. I just went on here to decide which to get and only a few of you even seem to have half a fucking brain! Your papas beat the other half out when their cocks were in you mouths? The better systym depends on your preference. If you want to watch movies, ps3 has bluray. If your typing alot the 360 has a keyboard that attaches straight into the controller. And Sony is superior? Do you have a mental illness? Ever heard of bill fucking gates? Cause I don’t know anyone who knows who the fuck mr. Sony is. Your all stating opinions with barely any facts. My friend ps3 just died after just one year of careful of use, xbox only has those problems if you don’t take care of your shit. So if you like killzone and movies ps3 wins. If you just want a good console with a Karens selection of add ins and great games (halo probably the biggest around even though I don’t like it) the xbox 360 wins. If you have anything to say back don’t bother I’ve wasted enough energy typing to you losers. I won’t be back here your pussy arguments are a waste of my life haha but I gotta admit, some of you are so stupid it’s funny. Lol FUCK YOU PUNK BITCHES!!!
