I hate my 360 :(

So it died, first ever console that's ever dies on me (had a NES SNES PS1 PS2 Xbox) and so was thinking of selling it plus my games, and getting a ps3. Now i thought okay its 6 months old but with the 3yr warranty its got to be worth £200 (without the 20 odd games) so i would just put £100 towards it (and money from selling the sames) and get a ps3 and 4/5 good games

Apparently its worth (going around milton keynes town [NOT CITY!! as its not one..] centre and its worth at the most £140 store credit or £100 cash

So i cant afford to get rid of it and get another console so i'll be stuck with a stupid thing that im scared of it dying :mad:

Also can you get pro-rata refunds for live even though paid for via a code?

I hate my 360

Ah anyway, anyway of me maxamising my selling price of the 360 or is that all that im likely to get for it?

Why not send it off for warranty repair? Did it myself and MS are pretty good when they go wrong. It'll take at most 21 days and if its not something they can repair they'll just send you a new console, you can even request to be sent a new one if you want.

I have but to be honest its a lot of hassle and seeing its died once and I've treated it well, well I'm disgusted and annoyed

Also they said 4 weeks

I would avoid the knee jerk reactin, although I said the same when my second 360 broke, they really are shocking made but the games are just fantastic.

I will no doubt get a PS3 sometime, but only when the killer titles come out, and even then theres no way im ditching my 360.

Yeah but for me there are no titles on the 360 that arnt on the ps3 that wow me..

Next few months im only looking to get CoD4, GTA4, Ass Cred, Lego and simpsons and if i get a ps3 then Ratchet and Clank as loved the prevous ones

Then the fact its quiter, free online play and does divx files out of the box!

Doesn't do divx out of the box, although they have signed some sort of agreement to have divx in a future update, but I reckon it will be "gimped" in some way.

You still need to use a transcoding program like you do on the 360.

Oh thats disappointing then

Dont know now

For me divx looks really poor on a 720p display anyway (connected PC, MAC and PS3 to same TV to compare). I much prefer getting H.264 content now. A lot of H264 content can be played very easily on both 360 and PS3.

Whilst divx would be nice, it's a backwards step for me, I would prefer they support more profiles for HD stuff like H.264.

But i've only got (currently) 28" crt and soon a 32" hd of some sort

Also, Think i'll just stick with the stupid 360 misses said if i get rid of 360then we have to get a wii and not a ps3

Why the hell are you gonna trade it in at a shop? Sell it to a real person. They tend to give you more money.

Less hastle less change of getting no money
