I will keep coming back as long as sony still keeps pumping out 75% garbage with 15 year old controllers that suck and ruin gameplay in any cross console games. Call me an MS fanboy but i have owned all the playstaions except for 3 and will probably eventually get it but i know it will only get turned on for ps3 exclusive games. I know our resident game guru itagaki will agree with me 100%

That’s what MS wants you to believe but unfortunately, no, they’re still just as bad. It’s a combination of the GPU heat, thin circuit board, and poor internal design. The 360 would pretty much have to be re-engineered from the ground up in order to cure the problem.
MS shipped beta 360s instead of doing the testing themselves. They just didn’t tell you that.

> MS didn’t do the proper testing for this thing, they just shoved it out the door knowing that there are 2 billion stupid MS fanboys out there that will buy it and keep coming back even though there is a 33% failure rate and THEY HAVEN’T FIXED THE PROBLEM. I just saw a video of one in their own consumer display with a RROD and this was supposed to be the new ‘fixed’ model. Don’t think so.

Where did you get a 33% failure rate?
edit~ Mine got the RRoD almost 2 years ago. shipped it out. MS shipped it back. No problems at all. sold that shit for 375 on ebay a month ago and bought an elite

I’ve heard the failure rate is realistically somewhere around 16%.
Still though, the ps3 and wii have about 3% failure.
