I've had my ps1 since 1996 and my ps2 since 2001 or so. Also like to note that I've had my N64 and SEGA (16 bit) since they were first released. All these consoles still work (I've been the hardest on the N64. ) I've had 2 360's (never bought an xbox since I had the ps2). I bought the first 360 brand new. I owned it for almost 8 months when I got the red ring. I loved it and expected it to happen at some point, so I ended up just buying a refurbished one. I can't remember what I did, but I voided the warranty on my first one. Anywho I bought a cheap refurbished 360 (meaning it had no warranty) which I think only lasted 2-3 months (when it broke, it was the entire reason I stared playing D2 again.) Once I moved back in with some friends here who had a PS3, I loved it from the start.

So very true. I used to be a mod at 4x4parts, and also in the Nissan section on Pirate4x4. I don't think any of us were hated, and were usually looked up to by most of the members.

A refurbished 360(not done by microsoft), you always run the firsk of having a problem, so blaming that on microsoft is a wrong choice, same goes for any refurbished console. my ps3 wasn't refurbished. Broke down from sony's manufacturer's work. I have been reading around, apparently a lot of the original backwards compatible ps3's have had blue ray lense problems.

I didn't want this to turn into a damn ps or xbox debate(it's fucking pointless because hardcore fans on either side ignore the facts, pros, and cons, the just blindly argue it), i'm just stating that sony never ceases to amaze me with their faulty systems from my experiences.

XBOX IS FUR NUBS ONLY PS3 IS BETTA IN EVERY WAY

lol

ive actually never played a ps3 and ive played a xbox 360 for like 5 hours total prolly

so i cant really say anything about either

well then that's not the manufacturer's fault, either.

they stopped producing the original backwards compatible units yet you chose to purchase one anyway.

explain to me how a product sony manufactured that broke down was not their fault? That makes no sense. This makes no sense to me. I purchased it because there are a few games on the ps3 i wanted. I guess it's my fault for purchasing a sony product.

because they stopped producing them.

you, as a consumer failed to do research on a discontinued item before purchasing it.

saying it's the manufacturer's fault would be like saying you drank a bottle of coca-cola from the 1920's
and became addicted to cocaine.

edit: and also, you did not purchase the ps3 from an official sony retailer, you purchased it on e-bay.
it's a common fact that you take a risk whenever purchasing from an independent seller.

Hardly comparable, so then your argument against the 360 for users buying the earlier ones and a few of the recent ones and complaining of RRoD.

I'm already pissed about all this, you were with me on vent, the fact it's being turned into a xbox>ps or ps>xbox debate is fucking ridiculous, the bottom line is i'm out $450.
w/e, if you guys wanna hear ps is better than 360 to make you feel better then w/e i don't care, all i care about is i'm going to be out $150 more in repairs.

you win w/e argument was here.
