After playing GTA IV for only about 6 hours in all i get the Red Ring of Death. Let me just say i am NOT AMUSED!!!! At least they're fixing it for free. I will personally punch the next Xbox i see. Really Gutted and i can't beleive it. The only Slightly good thing is that i have exams coming up and although i can control my time on the Xbox it gives me more revision time i guess
Yeah, mine crapped out a couple weeks ago. Really bad timing. Bought an Elite and it's been fine so far. The way I look at it, if I play it (on average) 1 hour a day, that's 365 hours a year, and even if I buy a new one every two years I'm still paying less than $1/day for it plus games and accessories. Hard to find cheaper entertainment than that.

I didn't pay £210 ($420) for a machine that i know is going to break. I posted it on the Xbox Forums and they were all amazed it lasted 3 years.

I was gonna get a PS3 before I realised I wouldn't have enough to buy any games, not necesarilly a bad thing because the games are shit. Also I realised Gears Bioshock etc are exclusives.
The PS3 is great and all, but it just doesn't have a strong game library yet. The 360 already has a bunch of really good exclusives, which helps tremendously. The only thing nice about a PS3 is the fact that it has like, a 2% failure rate while the 360 has about a 30%. As for mine, mine has been great (knocks on wood), and I've had it for about 9 months now. The only scare was when it stopped reading games for a couple days after I got Bioshock, but then it started working again and was probably faster afterwards too.
