If your console got hit by lightning tomorrow...

[mcwildcard]

Would you immediately go out and replace it, or would you sit down and think about changing systems?

I'd have a new PS3 arrive before the old one had stopped smouldering tbh, I see it as absolutely essential to my front room.
For a start I don't even have digital telly without it!

If my 360 exploded and I had absolutely no warranty/comeback what so ever, I would go back to PC gaming. Its more expensive but the benefits I miss a lot.

 

[EDDS]

well if all 3 of my 360's simultaneously exploded i'd go straight out and buy a new one.

 

[rainbow6six]

My warranty would kick in that I got convinced to purchase with a free game........... *sigh*

 

[antijoke]

I'd claim on home insurance and get a new one.

 

[Wyrdo]

[ScarySquirrel]

I have a 2nd one any way so I'd just plug that in instead

Otherwise, yes, I would replace my 360.

 

[Manlove is my forte]

Replacement as soon as I can get the cash together.

That being said, I'm getting a Wii for xmas (funds permitting)

 

[Dannyb01y]

Id get another xbox 360 without hesitation.

 

[orderoftheflame]

Honestly. I don't think I'd go out and rebuy any of them. I'd probably just claim on the insurance.

Seriously though. I'd replace the PS3 or Wii, but if the Xbox died I'd just stick with the spare one.

 

[quicksilver]

if my Xbox red rings again (after I managed to fix it) then I'll just buy a new one (providing I can find a stable job with stable, guaranteed amount of hours to pay a fixed amount per week unlike my current job which keeps fluctuating)

 

[BenjiSayers]

I would have a fit like that lad in that MW2 vid that is doing the rounds at the min. Then go buy another one

 

[Haly]

Depends on my bank account at the time
However assuming I could afford it: I'd replace my PS3, 360 or Wii with no question. Although in the case of the 360 there are 2 in the house so that could wait a little longer.

This ^^^

Even if I was tempted to switch all my real life mates have 360's and I mostly play online.

 

[Nismo]

I'd buy a new 360, wouldn't be too bothered about the PS3 immediately.

 

[sharingan_sasuk]

I have a Wii, 360, and a PS3 Slim which I only bought last week.

So yea if they got struck by lightning, I would be VERY annoyed; 360 because I enjoy that more as a gaming system, and PS3 as it's new.

 

[Substance]

If my ps3 broke I would go buy a blu-ray player, if my 360 broke I would replace it asap

 

[Neolink]

If it was my PS3 I would probably leave it until/if GT5 comes out, I would replace my 360 immediately however

 

[alex24]

Well, firstly I'd wonder what on earth possessed me to start gaming outside in a thunderstorm.

Secondly, I probably wouldn't buy another console, as my most recent console is a PS2, and I don't play it all that often. PC all the way.

 

[monkeyspank]

I'd go and buy another 360 probably same day, even without taking into account the fact that I've got loads of games and some peripherals etc.
