At the speed graphics are evolving and processors getting faster I would say no.
yes lucky stop saying bullshit
there is a 30% failure rate with the older models
and there is a more then 10% failure rate with the new models
so that means ur in the 70% of working console's
these r facts
so yes u r lucky
it has nothin to do with little kids not taking care for there console
or ps3 and wii would have a 30% failure rate for the same reason u stated before .... not taking care of it
wich is bullshit
its bad development
stop comparing ur little story of u and a friend to 4 mil ppl who's xbox had broken in less then a year
first of all u r wrong about the steering wheel
yes the problem only occures when u use the adapter , but the problem is not the adaptor
its a component inside the steering wheel that overheats and start smoking when u use the adaptor
so u can only use it with batteries
thats why they recalled the entire steering wheel and not just the adapter
http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/23/mi...moking-wheels/
here is Microsoft's official statement made today on what i posted
http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming...rumours-419226
again they r trying to minimize the damage
but fact remains there failure rate is extremely high even with there elite version with falcon ship
or they wouldn't do the 3 year warranty on the elite models if they knew the problem didn't appear there (this is just common sence )
that is unacceptable even after more then 2 years that there console is released they still have more then 10 % failure rate
And allot of games do get ported ...
now plz dont make me go and get the list of all games that got ported...
there r dozens just google it
there r even games like um lost planet where they forgot to delete the xbox controller from the option menu
btw xbox 360 gpu is only a few % faster then the ps3's
the ps3 can be compared to 7800 gt
wile the xbox can be compared (in power ) with a x1900gt
all in all its max 10% diffrence
nothing if u know that the ps3's cpu can be used for graphics aswel
and the ps3 cpu is 10 times faster then the xbox
graphics will in prove , u can already see glimpses of it in recent games like mgs4
u should really play true it , ull know what i mean
only now developers r starting to know how to code properly on the ps3
no doubt game's like killzone 2/ ff13/god of war 3/ and that secret project sony was working on that stunt bbc reporters (http://www.psbeyond.com/news/Sonys-s...-2009.315.html ) will show graphicks can inprove
It did indeed, infact it causes serious failures. You should never use them.Quote:
- Over heated and froze in-game, even though I had that cooler thing shit for it...which probably made it even hotter if anything.
Old hitachi drive i'm assuming. They've been putting in proper drives in for a long time now. I still don't know why those drives didn't have the protection that normal drives do have, it costs like 1 cent to put in, and i truely doubt Microsoft gave them the order to save a cent on that.Quote:
- Scratched my GOW CD in the same spot..twice, a big nice old circle scratched into the disk.
30% failure? I think not. What happened was that most of these supposed 30% were often the same console. Some people had their 360 "repaired" about 5 times before Microsoft understood why. I'd say 15% is more accurate.Quote:
there is a 30% failure rate with the older models
and there is a more then 10% failure rate with the new models
For the 10% current failure rate i like to see some real numbers on that, i'm guessing that the 10% is actually still just mostly the old models breaking down.
Seriously, either start reading the links you post, or i'm just going to delete all your crap. I can't be bothered to argue with ignorant people like yourself, especially since people here are asking for what is real, not what you make up yourself.Quote:

Microsoft will replace your adapter, not the steering wheel, so stop saying they recalled the whole thing, trust me i would know, as i got a steering wheel with a new adapter. Continue down this path with your nonsense and say bye bye to these posts of yours.
Again. Stop this bullshit.Quote:

Like i said, that site is full off it, even says so in that link you posted, however you couldn't be bothered to read it yourself.Quote:
"Recent reports in the UK media regarding Xbox 360 contain inaccuracies and pure speculation, as well as news that is a year old.
"Prompted by what Microsoft viewed as an unacceptable number of repairs to Xbox 360 consoles, a year ago Microsoft announced an expansion of its Xbox 360 warranty. Effective 5 July, 2007, any original retail Xbox 360 customer who experiences a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights is covered by a three year warranty from date of purchase, with all other issues remaining covered by the standard one-year warranty."
Please do. Know this though, if it's a load of crap then i will start deleting your posts here. A little advice before you start looking up names, make sure you understand what a port is.Quote:
And allot of games do get ported ...
now plz dont make me go and get the list of all games that got ported...
And more bullshit from you.Quote:

The PS3 has a 7800 chip, the 360 has a chip that was never put on a videocard and is more powerful then the x1900gt.
The 360 chip has technology that was developed for the next ATI cards, so it's something in between those cards. It is definitely superior to the nvidia chip.
They know how the graphics work by now, there isn't much they can do anymore. With titles like MGS4 where they take out everything they can, they simply won't be able to improve really on that.Quote:

xbox 360:
Gears of War
Halo 3
Bioshock - best
Forza Motorsport 2
Perfect Dark Zero
ps3:
Metal Gear Solid 4 - best
Warhawk
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Resistance: Fall of Man
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection
PS3 wins in games. You can say Xbox 360 has more games, but you could also use 'shitty' as an adjective. PS3 games are better quality even though there are less. A lot of 360s top games are arcade, funny.
seems like u cant take any critism what so ever
everything i said were facts
but u cant deal with it so u threaten to abuse your powers and delete everything
just like u allways do and just like last time we debated when it ended up u closing the thread and me reporting u for abusing your powers
every single time i post my source u say its bullshit
atleast i post a source and dont pull shit out of my arse like u
to prove my point ill quote it for u
In all seriousness, Microsoft needs to publicly flog their hardware people. Microsoft now reports that they'll be offering a service to retrofit their official Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel following reports that the thing overheats and releases smoke. Unlike their refusal to say what's really wrong with the Xbox 360, Microsoft admits !!!!!!!!!!that A COMPONET IN THE WHEEL overheats !!!!!!!!!!!!when the AC/DC power adapter is used to power the wheel. Microsoft says you should contact them for the retrofit and not use the power adapter, but it's fine to just use the battery. They have also notified the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, no word yet on Microsoft Europe's plan..
it clearly says that its a componet inside the steering wheel , not inside the adaptor
A COMPONET IN THE WHEEL
here is the google link
http://www.google.be/search?hl=nl&q=...rheating&meta=
now go along and read for a change , every single source talks about a componet in the wheel
so what microsoft did was introduce a adaptor wich would not cause the component to overheat
its more cost effective then replacing the steeringwheel al together
somthing microsoft is so good at ...
i dont even know why i am debating u
the reason why it was brought up is just to show how bad microsoft develops there hardware
everybody knows it , its all over the net
yet u allways try and defend them and minimize every faulth they did
there is a word for that u know ... starts with a F and end with a Y
and u say i dont read ... yea right
its clear that u should shut up
cause saying stuff like that site is full of it
or just plain bullshit on every single source shows u r not helping anybody
but just trying to force your own opinion onto ppl
even on stuff like official statements from microsoft u say bullshit , your not worth debating with
oh and 1 more thing how about i just help u out
http://www.google.be/search?hl=nl&sa...+games&spell=1
there now u can go and search for all the ported games , cause francly im sick and tired of having to look up everything for u
when u never post a single source but just state your biased opinion
How about Test Drive Unlimited, Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Saints Row etc, and these are just games i own. There are way more quality games, and that's a simple fact.
To proof my point in this, this was in the deleted post from santaclaus.
I've given proof that these are not facts, infact he himself pointed that proof, without actually reading the links ofcourse, so that he actually had no idea what he was talking about.Quote:
everything i said were facts
Seeing as i want to keep this topic clean from mis-information, i will delete all his post that clearly show that he doesn't know what he is talking about.
The same goes for other users. By all means support the console you prefer, by all means post what makes you like them, but if you are gonna post about either consoles while not having enough info about them, then just don't bother.
Now ofcourse if you prefer what the PS3 has to offer then it's a simple choice, but the 360 has more quality games based on the opinions of most gamers.
Anyway posts are dissapearing, not because i'm trying to silence people from their opinion, but because it gives a twisted view on reality.
Posts undeleted because he supplied credible sources to back up his statements.
thank you
at least there is still justice around here
u r forgetting allot of games there on both sides :p
but bioshock 1 of the best games on xbox indeed is being ported to run on ps3 and will be released later this year
the same counts for most quality games for xbox , they never stay exclusive ...i m not talking about them going to ps3 now
but most quality games for xbox get released on PC aswel like halo1/2 // gears of war // bioshock // Mass effect
microsoft is only interested in cash
like how they forced u to buy vista to play Halo 2 when halo 2 was everything but dx 10 and very much capable to run on xp
it was just another stunt to make ppl buy vista
First of all, they never forced you to buy anything.
So is Sony.Quote:
microsoft is only interested in cash
All games are capable of running on XP, oddly enough it's also possible to run Halo 2 on XP too, just with the right tweaking.Quote:
everything but dx 10 and very much capable to run on xp
Yeah, like months later. I got news for ya also, many games get ported from 360 to PS3.Quote:
but most quality games for xbox get released on PC aswel like halo1/2 // gears of war // bioshock // Mass effect
Also I'd like to point out that the PS3 slowed down the release of GTA IV and other games.
Source for GTA IV being pushed back here: http://www.psu.com/Analyst--GTA-IV-d...a000859-p0.php
Not really being pushed back, but CoD4 would've been released earlier (but Infinity Ward wanted to make a true non port game for the PS3.) if they didn't make it for the PS3.
if u would of red what i said then u would know i said they forced u to buy vista if u wanted to play halo 2 on the pc
and thats exactly the case
yes later ppl made a crack for it to run on xp , that just proves halo 2 dident need dx 10 like microsoft claimed
yes they should be , but microsoft intentionally made it so that u could only play halo2 on vista so that u would be forced to buy vista if u wanted to play halo 2 on pc
yes yes there is a crack now ,but just stating what microsoft intended
yes of course , thats not the point , the point was allot of so called xbox360 exclusive don't stay exclusive
that my friend is bullshit , its just what 1 analyst said its nothin confirmed btw the guy was michael patcher who has been wrong numerous times , here is another claim he did http://www.psu.com/Pachter--EA-has-i...0003295-p0.php
he does allot of them lol
nobody knows why there were so many delays cause rockstar never admitted to any rumors
there r even ppl saying it was because they couldn't fit it onto a dvd and microsoft didn't want 2 dvd's as it would look inferior to the ps3 model
not saying that that was the reason , but there r numerous rumors why it was delayed and rockstar never admitted to any of them
tho it is true that its allot harder to code for the ps3 1 of the reasons being that the cpu is so advanced compared to the other platforms
but the more time progresses the more it will become a benefit as developers will be able to make more complex games for it
I own a 360, and I would say go with a PS3, I have had enough problems with my 360 like the controller disconnects all the time, so I had to put tape on the back to hold the battery
pack in ON THE FIRST DAY I bought my 360, so that ticked me off, my 360 crashed within the first month I had it, and my headset always gets unplugged by like the tiniest pull, but PS3 not having a lot of people with headsets, well I wouldnt have bought online if it was for talkin to people, I cant just play a game alone, but yet again you would get rid of all those trash talking 8 year old kids who come online just to piss you off by annoying you on your headset.
- Saints Row was going to be released for Ps3, but it was that shitty they canceled it. SR 2 will be released for PS3.
- Mass Effect is a cool game, but it has many bugs.
- Lost Odyssey kisses FinalFantasy 13's ass.
- Blue Dragon?? How could you even mention that, horrible game.
- Test Drive Unlimited also came out for the PS2, lol.
- Project Gotham doesn't make the 360 great, burnout paradise is better; which is also for both consoles.
Quality? No.
In the post you quoted, I was comparing top titles of each console.
WoW! gohan you've attracted all the fanboys over.....Dime you have fanboy written on your forehead so, please stop.
Ok I did a poll from people in my school, asked all 14 of them who own a 360, how many of them have send theirs to repair. out of 14 of them amazingly (I know this must be LUCK) none of them had. out of 14 of them, 3 had their 360 less than 1 year. The failure rate is old news now, if you go to the xbox forum or gamespot OR IGN, nobody is complaining about anymore
Rather buy XBOX360 then PS3.
