I wouldn’t get a 40gig PS3 unless you don’t plan to play any PS2 games. ---

I splurged and bought a PS3 with GTAIV today. I don’t own any PS2 games so the 40gb is perfect for me. ---

Mine is a 60gb launch, good thing I got it for the 360… mine has actually frozen a few times already on my xbox 360 and there’s a lot of people having the same issues. ive read on some GTA forums at gamefaqs of this after i had problems. so it’s not just PS3 ---

Sony and quality do not go hand in hand. How many PS2’s have been sent back? The real question is how many Wii’s have been sent back? ---

My original PS1 still works and I still have it, my original PS2 only stops working when I play GTA3, my Sony digicam had a software issue that made the flash stop working and my Sony DV camcorder has no issues. XBox 360’s have the worst fail rate out of basically any product ever put on the market and they don’t just lose some function like a Sony product, they are paper weights. What would you rather own? If you say a 360, you are just a toolbox fanboy and you deserve to go through multiple replacements and get laughed at repeatedly every time you make a “OH NOOEES!!11! RROD!!!eleven” thread. And don’t even waste your breath with “MS fixed the new 360’s” because no, they didn’t. I still see articles pop up about RROD on them too. _edit_ and what the fuck does Nintendo have to do with this? Don’t try to change the subject because you feel like an idiot for buying a 360 ---

Basically the same time the couple good 360 exclusives came out last year. [http://www.xna.com/](http://www.xna.com/) There aren’t an abundance more of exclusive PS3 titles around the corner than 360. PS3 - MGS 4, FF XIII, GT5 360 - Too Human, Ninja Gaiden 2, Grid ---
