I agree I never had one lock up or problem nor heard of any from friends. BS flag raised on this one.

Now games are bricking systems?

I've got to say this hasn't happened to me but I only played it for about a week. I haven't touched my Xbox since I got my PS3. I'll go back and finish it but now I'm scared another Xbox might die on me. If I have to take another one back to EB they might think I'm killing them on purpose.

Whats the story Ubisoft? I'm not turning this game on again til I find out.

And I dont know how anyone can call BS when Ubisoft admit the problem. I know you're pasionate about the only system you play but c'mon.

Xbox reminds me of a line from the movie Broken Arrow.

I dont know whats scarrier. The fact Xbox's break down so often or the fact they have a "broken down" light built into it.

The guy a few posts below me is right. Its a good reason to get multiplatform games on PS3 for fear of being left with a box load of games and no console to play them on. Dont bother telling me how much better the XB versions are. Some are better, some are worse, ALL are very similar to the point where the differences have no bearing on gameplay anyway. You play what you got.

And speaking as an Australian most the PS3 versions I've seen are cheaper anyway. THP8 $68 on PS3, $119 on Xbox. You tell me which ones worth it. Not all games are this cheap of course but I've seen a few for under $AU100 for PS3 including all 1st party titles while most on XB are $119 with the odd exception.

I had Need for Speed: Most Wanted freeze up on my 360 last night. It's the first time the system has ever frozen and i got it at launch. I was scared I would get the red light of death so I rearranged my entertainment center. Can't take the risk. I'm going to go find a small, portable fan from Walmart to keep air circulating past all my electronics down there.

Everyone claiming this is BS - stop. It's almost as bad as everyone claiming that the 360 didn't have hardware issues and that it must've been "the way you treated your console".

Don't believe that people are having problems? Check these forums:

oh man.. have you actually gone through those pages, I went through a couple, and its actually pretty disturbing. I am in disbelief that this is happening, one actually was praising the intercooler because it cut down on freezing 80%, he said in only froze twice and was happy about it. And not only this game, RS:Vegas i guess is having a lot of problems, i guess its ubisoft or something, might think twice in getting their games, I was looking forward to vegas too.

I was playing when my first 360 died. It didn't happen until after the April update, so I never knew what caused the problem. I just picked up GRAW 2, I will be looking out for it now. I doubt it will be a problem. My current unit has been perfect so it better not mess it up.

You LIVE IN FEAR? when your 360 will die? Is that because you LOVE IT SO MUCH you can't bear to be without it? Screw off. Most multi-platform games work better on 360. Oh woe is me, my 360 might die. If you bought an extended warranty, then you're covered. MS even extended the extended warranties a FULL YEAR! My warranty is good through Nov of 2008! Lets see Sony compete with that. No, i'm not a Sony hater. I plan on buying a PS3 when the price comes down and there are more good games. Look at the multi-platform games........ They all fit on a DVD! There's nothing special about Bluray, except in the case of The Darkness, when they fit more B movies and stupid cartoons on the disc that you can watch in the TVs throughout the game. MULTI-PLATFORM games will fit onto DVDs, meaning the only thing Bluray has going for it is stupid extras like cartoons.

You point to ONE source, how about all the articles on 360 graphics being better than PS3's (IGN, Gamepro, Game Informer, Gametrailers, G4, Joystiq, etc.)? Do you realize that 2 of your 4 reasons to get a PS3 aren't even available yet on the PS3 (Home/Rumble)? Who cares about Home? It's just a concept. Who knows how it will really turn out? Why don't you wait until it is released and see what it actually ends up being, then hype it if it's worth it. I wouldn't use motion sensing on the PS3 controller as hype, it is awful compared to the Wii's. In fact, currently the PS3 controller is the worst of the three. At least you do have ammo on early model 360's failing. However, with Sony's horrible track record with the PS2, and the PS3 being only 3 months old, the jury is still out on it. At least MS admitted the problem and replaced them all for free, instead of having to get sued to respond like Sony with the PS2.

I'm not saying which is the best console, but your argument is flawed and please, no soliciting.

...over 100 million PS2 owners. In reality, neither company counts replacements as another sale. However, if your system dies out of warranty and you buy another one, that would count as another sale. With the PS2 being around for so long and with Sony's bad optical device woes of a few years ago, many millions of PS2s were repurchases, especially since the PS2 got so cheap. This is not necessarily a bad thing if you got 4 or 5 years out of the sytem before it died, but it still goes against the claim of there being over 100 million unique PS2 owners.

many broken promises, delayed too many times, specs lowered, not shipped with proper cables or headset, no upscaling, crappy online service, busted half done BC, higher priced system due to forcing of an unneeded feature, lack of rumble, busted half done motion sensing, poorly implemented online store, 2 SKUs, no music streaming during gameplay, many games missing online MP, many games outdone by competition's counterparts yet system is still higher priced, no regulation of games' video resolutions, loss of most game exclusives

I guess that's why these pathetic 'my system is better than yours' arguments could go on forever.
