man im glad i bought a 240 instead of an xbox 360 they sound like they r junk thats y i like playstation better!

[fayceoff]

My 360 stop working for a while - wouldn't read some games and it wouldn't play any DVD's. I called MicroSoft and they sent me a prepaid label so I could send it back. When I sent it back they repaired it and sent it back. No problems. I was without my XBox for about 8 days total.

thats why i bought a ps3 cuz i know my xbox will take a dive sooner or later. Freakin playstation is so nice, and its SILENT!!! not like a jet taking off like xbox

[alms24sebring]

Even though Im anti-XBox, I do have to give them credit for some of the games they've made. But the red eye of death is not something to be known for

playstation all day

meh, that article is like 1 year too late.. im sure alot of people already new this. also its worth noting that the 360 falcons are out, and they have a lower failure rate than the previous models.

[jdshift]

I cannot express how much I love my ps3, advantages of the wireless without having to pay for online services. 360 is a nice system..........but I will always be a playstation gamer till I die baby!!

Console loyalties baffle me

The 360 is still a good console, though. Plus I got mine for graduation so I can't really complain. It's got a strong title library, too.

it's not console loyalty, it's common sense...but I'll stop there before this thread gets locked up.

[MinisterofDOOM]

No, no, I don't mean "I wouldn't buy an Xbox because I don't want to risk it dying." That's understandable.

I mean I don't understand console loyalties.I don't understand people who buy a console because of it's BRAND, not it's capabilities, reliability, available games, etc. And I understand even less people who fanatically support or attack consoles based on their brand.

[s13jus10]

^^ agreed.

I can't stand fanboys.. whichever "side" they may be on. I literally cringed reading some of the "PL4YST4TI0N F0 L1F3 y0!!!" comments on this thread (no offense to anyone). I hate how people bash on a system just because of it's brand, not knowing anything about it.

on the other hand, I believe a person well armed with knowledge of BOTH sides of the grass, and that are fully aware of all pros and cons of every system, have the right to an unbiased (keyword: UNBIASED) opinion and can judge what they will.

....on that note, I also love my PS3

Well i'd say i'd attribute it to a nostalgia factor. people fondly remember playing on a certain system and because for many of them its the only experience they will have, they consider it the best experience possible. say for instance people that loved nintendo during the ps1/ps2 dominance, why would you like nintendo when ps1/ps2 had a (argueably) better line up of games, i'd argue that they liked nintendo because of the experience they gave them in the past and still hope that they would "return to glory" so to say.

Its like those people with Honda's that scream honda's are the best cars in the world, when they've never driven anything outside of there 93 civic hatchback.

Although I'm sure that is the case for some people, I bought a PSX and PS2 no more than one year after their respective launches and loved them both, but as of now I own a 360 and no PS3.

This is the truth for many people myself included, I always had fun with nintendo so I chose nintendo again. I knew at the time that the PS brand was winning but the games and system format (mostly singleplayer) didn't appeal to me as much and the N64 / GC were both setup out of the box for 4 player splitscreen. I had the PS1 / PS2 also but I my best memories were me and 3 friends crammed around a tv playing goldeneye, mariocart, smash bros, and all the mario sport games.

Xbox 360s are like the rockstars of the consoles world, they live fast and die young.

I killed my first 360 because I would play for 10 hours straight a few times. good thing there was a warranty or else another Xbox for me.

I still don't have a PS3, maybe the MG4S bundle will change that.
