I need help ASAP, opinons needed

360'S are plagued with the RED RINGS OF DEATH and no BLUE RAY playback BUT it does offer a far more selection of games and exclusives. PS3 is just as good and even better in the graphic department in some cases. mostly its all up to the purchaser and what he likes. i was a sony nut UNTIL i seen the trailer for the first GEARS OF WAR and was hooked ever since.....

That's why I originally chose 360, because of it's games, but soon found out that those games were only as good as the console. Nothing takes the fun out faster than getting another error message during game play, watching the game lockup, shutting down and having to restart.

my buddy and i did a test side by side xbox 360 and ps3 running the same game (assassin's creed). Although the load times are a bit faster on the xbox the ps3 never stuttered once and everything was silky smooth

FYI:
if you install the game onto hard drive for the 360 those load noises go away.....

Does that fix the dirty disc/unable to read error messages? I knew my discs were clean because they were always new and installed into console and not removed until game was finished. The whole time I owned both X360s I constantly got those messages, right after I heared *snapping* noises...if I was quick enough I could save current game before game would lock up, most of the time I wasn't fast enough. And I always covered console with dust cloth when not is use, so I can't figure that dust buildup was that much of a problem for me.

Yeah... right. Buy the overpriced upgrade, what a great solution... 120GB 360 HD for a retail of about $140-150? Oh yeah, the same price as when it came out a few years ago. Compare to the price of your average notebook SATA drive and it's not looking very competitive... Rumor has it there's a 1TB drive on the horizon, I wonder what the price will be if it's true?


I'll keep it simple. I use my 360 to play games. I use my PS3 to play games, watch DVD's upscaled to 1080p, watch Blu-Rays, watch TV shows, crank out Mp3's and once in a blue moon, surf the internet.

Why not just use your pc for gaming? I haven't owned a game machine in many years so take my opinion for what it's worth but isn't the pc the ultimate multi-purpose tool?

RROD means the 360 is dead. No restart is going to bring it back.
