Why even bother with an X-Box 360? Mine broke down twice!?
Question : Why even bother with an X-Box 360? Mine broke down twice!?
times!?
I just want to know how many people have gone through the motions with the 360 like I have. I had to send it back to the manufacturer twice both times it took forever to get my System back. Both times it was because of the laser I’m pretty sure something as simple as dust probably, I admit I played the hell out of it but still..that’s what your supposed to do with a $ 400 “Gaming System” right? Not with an X-box you don’t, it wont last for long it will need repair..all my friends have X-Box 360′s and they have gone through the same thing..My soon to be brother in-law had to send his back twice because it wouldn’t read any discs, it happened a 3rd time and when he tried to send it in again they wouldn’t take it..said warranty was up..he had it just about 2 years..now he’s just assed out with a broken system..I got out while the getting was still good since I’d already sent mine in twice for repair I knew it was only a matter of time before it stopped working again.I took it to Gamestop with all the 360 games I’d bought and traded it all for a brand new out the box PS3 and a few pre-owned PS3 games..I have no regrets..I should have gotten the PS3 from the start but I can honestly say now because I was able to compare games that the PS3 is far superior to the X-Box 360 MGS4 alone crushes all X-Box games..no competition its a wrap..and Playstation Home online community is amazing..X-Box can only dream of doing something like that X-Box gives you an avatar that does nothing but sit there when you are able to use it..it’s just something to look at thats all..PS3 your avatar can do all kinds of stuff from bowling to flying an airplane,race car driving,poker,Mysteries to solve,even a town square where people can meet with friends and dance.you can buy your own properties or clothes at the mall, check out the movie theater or the haunted house game, throw parties for your friends and so much more I barely scratched the surface. If your thinking of getting a gaming system and your down to two choices PS3 or X-Box 360, Trust me GET A PS3! (PS3) Blue Ray Player is the future (X-Box360) HD player will be obsolete. and even if you don’t have many PS3 games you can still do tons of things online for “free” that are just as much fun. I have quite a few games but I spend more time in Playstation Home than I do playing my games there’s so much to do you just get caught up and before you know it hours have gone by and you haven’t even played the game you turned on the system to play in the first place yet. You’ll see..if your smart 
See Ya’ll at PS Home (poyzinsting-add me)

Honestly I think your right about the xbox360 always breaking down but I have to disagree that the ps3 is a better system because it may have blu-ray, which is really stupid to pay $ 30 for a movie you’ll only watch once, and that while the PS3 may have alot of memory, a lot of games take up all that space for each game save. then theres the games, only a few games from the ps3 are worth buying but the xbox 360 has more exclusive games and even some that Playstation original had, sure MGS is on the Ps3 but they are crossing over to microsoft and taking most of the PS3′s popular games(ex Final Fantasy XIII, MGS:Rising, Star Ocean). not to mention it has equal features the 360 has more to offer than the ps3. So you ask why bother with the xbox, well its just because its simply the most entertaining system there is compared to the pricey PS3.

Yeah i have 360 as well and although i have owned for exactly a year today and haven’t had nay maintenance problems i must say that if i had to choose a console now it would be a PS3. When i was shopping around for a console the ps3 turned me off as it was a very expensive console. But in the long run i came to discover that x box is quite pricey!
Ive had to buy
*x box live 12 month membership
* Additional 20 gb hdd
*Wireless network adapter
* charge and play kite x 2 as they are unreliable!That’s a big cost. And to be honest i wont be getting a ps3 son as i just pre-ordered cod modern ware fare 2 which is due for release here in australia around november. ATM im hunting for a NINTENDO ds! Now that’s good Gaming

well i hear people complaining that there 360 broke down, and most ofthe time its because they just plain out donw take care of it and that the ps3 is way better and that it has blu-ray, heres my opinion 1), it had bluray and the 360 dont, um, yeah, 360 came out in 05, blu ray when, like 2 years from then, either way it dont matterm 360 already has hd, so why waste your money, 2) if you buy a ps3 your a$ $ better be rich, one cuzz it costs a lot, and cuzz people are all crazy about blu ray so they’ll wann buy blu ray and spend 10 extra dollars when they can just get the original and not TOO MUCH of a difference, some, but its not like its suddenly 3d and stuff, also, with the avatar stuff, i agree with the 360 just sitting there, and i hate the new xbox live upgrade, but they whole mall and stuff, dude, ps network is meant for PLAYING, not for some shopping thing that you can already do if you go to games on your computer, and meeting others, you already do that when playing 4) well all in all its good, but look, you gotta admit, half the stuff it had, it got from the 360, wireless remotes, the blu ray was just there way of having hd, but forget that, also, look, yeah ps network, or whatever its called is free, but look, whos smarter? Bill Gates, or the chinesse guy that made the ps3, dude, bill gates is making money, and whats mr asian doing? phhhtp, he probably aint even a millionaire, also, haven’t you seen all the stories on yahoo on about the ps3, how the price is going down due to low demand, lol, the 360 has been here since 05 and the price for one hasnt gone down, and look at the poor ps3, been here 2 years and already going down, lol, dude, i just prefer 360 more, while have such complicated and expensive stuff on the ps3 when i can have a simple thing such as the 360, with there hd and stuff, plus, i heard there coming out with a new xbox, and it will beat the ps3, thats kinda what the situation here is, like, DUH!! the ps3 came later, of course its gonna have better stuff than the 360, its SUPPOSED to be better, also, this aint the place to complain, that isnt even a question you put out, should have blogged about it or something, sheesh,
