My day 1 Elite has had no issues, and I can only imagine the newer chip models are doing better and should only get better when they switch to the better GPU's. I have no regrets getting a 360 and wouldn't hesitate to get a new one if mine dies.Quote:

Not sure. I just know that the new CPU was supposed to help, but the real cure would be the smaller GPU. Haven't heard anything in a while about it though.Quote:

The other rumor is a price drop next month for for GTA, although nothing is around to prove that. I personally think they have to as looking in the ads and seeing a PS3 for only 50 bucks more is something MS can't let go any longer.
My friend got an Elite for Christmas and it sounds like a completely different console. Makes at least half the noise as mine.
im so sorry dude, the 2nd? jesus i hope this doesnt happen to me (my referb unit sent back to me after my 1st RROD is louder then my old 360, but thankfully doesnt DRE all the time like the old one did since day 1, or chew on discs like the 1st one). I believe RROD was covering since date of your purchased one. Some people have reported success at inducing RROD and getting MS to cover it, and replace it. Beware though, some have reported that MS fixes gpu problems, but any problems still existing on the system (say a bum dvd drive) will be neglected and youll just get your same 360 with the same bum drive.Quote:

Majorly fucked up games arent exclusive to the PS3 either, see: Bully Scholarship Edition 360.Quote:

This should have been fixed a while ago, so its more then just some mere faulty components. The damn thing should work out of the box and last, not have to wait on news on yet another cost reduced version of the 360 we rebuy, just to have a working one, at the same price.
anyway, thats my blurb.
I do believe I remember hearing about how awesome Home and in game XMB would be last spring.Quote:

Oh and then that fall.
Oh and then in winter.
Oh and then this spring.
Yeah... July you say. Riiiiiggggghhhhtttt.
any news of in game XMB was nothing but rumor, it was announced a month ago or so in-game XMB is this summer.Quote:

Besides gears of war, i dont play with TNL. Beyond that point, its still extremely doable to play games on PS3 with each other. Its not like home isnt going to launch. Homes launch date in july was leaked along with release dates for a lot of PSN titles.
I know many of you just have an extreme, mostly unwarranted hate towards sony, but honest to god, instead of saying "finally sony is trying to make the PS3 a viable streamlined online console" you nay say and downplay. They are in 3rd place, they are going to do anything and everything.
Regardless of all of this, PS3 stuff can be cured within software, meanwhile the 360 has seemingly incurable hardware.
this isnt the ps3 thread, so please take it to the ps3 thread if you want to continue the discussion
Strange, I seem to recall XBox Live took over a year to launch as well. I'm not here to praise Sony or something, but get a grip ok. All was not sunshine and fucking lolipops with Live during development either.Quote:
