XBox 360 is of a good price

Seriously, it's a really good console, it's white! And if you were thinking "aw hell nah, not a white console" here's the kicker... You can also get one that is black!

Honestly, it's a really good price too. I don't know the price off the top of my head, but I know it's a good one!

I would really recommend getting one. It has 3D graphics, you don't need a memory card (!) and there are MORE than 20 games! (!!)

If you're not all over this already, you are really missing out. So don't delay guys, buy an Xbox 360 already :)

God I'm so hard right now.

considering that fable 2 fell so short of the hype, i hope this is an improvement.

i wish they would stop calling 30 seconds of irrelevant CG a "trailer"

i wouldn't get your hopes up about "quick". there is nothing in this video that suggests they are any closer to releasing anything than Killzone2 was 3 years ago

edit: i wish the elder scrolls v was being worked on :(

how is Fable at all like Killzone 2?

He means how KZ2's development time was really long, and how F3 might have the same issue... I seem to recall F2 had the same problem (very long gestation period).

Erm, no - Play.com lists it for 204GBP, the 50 quid you're seeing is for a used one, from an individual. Yeah.

All of my friends who bought PS3's really wish they'd bought xbox's and now always want to come over my house all the fucking time.

When it extended the Xbox 360's warranty to three years, Microsoft admitted the Xbox 360's failure rate was unacceptable. However, despite covering both the "Red Ring of Death" and E74 errors, the company has never admitted exactly how often its console suffers from technical problems or manufacturing defects.

 

Now, Game Informer magazine has conducted a survey of 5,000 subscribers to find out how often consoles conk out. The September issue of the Minnesota-based, GameStop-owned magazine features the results of the survey, which found that a whopping 54.2 percent of Xbox 360 owners surveyed reported having the console fail on them once. Apply that figure to the platform's 30 million-unit installed base, and the result is 15.72 million failed consoles.

 

Perhaps more damning, 41.2 percent of 360 owners had a second hardware malfunction--meaning that potentially 12.36 million people have had their consoles fail again. Some 36.4 percent of 360 owners reported having to buy a second console, versus 13.4 percent of PlayStation 3 owners and 8.4 percent of Wii owners. Also, Game Informer found that 69.9 percent of respondents said they had at least one friend who had an Xbox 360 cease working. Nonetheless, only 3.8 percent of respondents said that the 360's hardware failures convinced them to not buy a replacement console from Microsoft.

 

By comparison, 10.6 percent of PlayStation 3 owners reported a failure, with 14.7 percent reporting a second hardware problem. The Wii was the most reliable, with a 6.8 percent failure rate and an 11 percent secondary failure rate. However, the Wii's low numbers may also be due to the fact it's the least played of the three consoles. Some 41.4 percent of Wii owners said they played it for less than an hour per day on average. By contrast, 40.3 percent of Xbox 360 owners played for three to five hours per day, and 37.3 percent of PS3 owners played three to five hours per day.

 

Game Informer also asked respondents about their experiences with the three platform-holders' customer service departments. Again, Nintendo came out on top, with 56.1 percent of respondents saying they were "very satisfied" with their experiences. Sony was close behind with a 51.1 percent satisfaction rate, followed by Microsoft with a 37.7 percent satisfaction rate.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Why would you even take a survey of 5,000 for anything? Such a joke of a report.

Xbox 360 has the best games, if your console breaks send it in and get a new one. It's no excuse to miss out on the excellent library just like there was no excuse to miss out on the PS2 library (even though it had its fair share of console failures).

JOYREX IN, SOMEONE LIKES SOMETHING I DON'T SHOCKER!

I'm on my 4th or 5th 360 and i STILL have NO REGRETS. Everytime it breaks, it is replaced for free. is it an inconvenience? Sure, but it still beats owning a PS3.

Considering the proliferation of cross-platform titles these days, I'd argue that "Xbox 360 has the best games" is a bit of a past-tense statement. The exclusives the 360 has had so far haven't lasted long (to later appear on PS3 with additional content or features, or an improved experience), and this misperception of having a 'superior' library is only due to it being out earlier.

"If your console breaks, send it in an get a new one." - really, assuming it's covered under the warranty, AND, with the average turn around time being about three weeks, what do you play in the meantime? That was the main factor in my decision to get a PS3 over a 360 was I wanted a console to play, not sit and look at the spot on my entertainment console where it sat while in for repairs.

PS3 is cool too though, but I really don't see much reason to get a PS3 over a 360, simply because from what I understand the 360 has better online and better multiplatform games (this is the generation of no exclusives)... but if we had to go with exclusives it's got a good amount (Mass Effect, Gears of War, Fable, Forza, Halo).

Alan Wake is also coming out next year which to me looks like the best game of the generation. Check out the thread I just made -

at least when i get it back, i have something to play. if i had a PS3, it would just compete with my Wii for how much dust it could collect.

And what will you do when MS stops replacing it for free, or something that breaks that is not covered by the warranty? the E74 errors were not covered up until just this past April, and thankfully they did reimburse people who previously paid for E74 error repairs.

Alan Wake does look good - and I read recently that they finally finished it, so it should be coming out soon.
