I've played about 10 hours worth of PS3 games since I got it in May. .

Then in comparison I've used my 360 for over 80 hours in 3 weeks. A 70 hour plus forza career and a 10 hour Dirt career/championship.

A Best Buy manager then went on record saying "a quarter to a third" Xbox 360 consoles sold, come back defective, confirming the 33% failure rate percentage.

You sunk my battleship.

I've barely played my 360 since I can't afford any of the new games.

My PS3 is on for about an hour a week at the moment so I agree with the "they arent failing cause they arent on" lol

Woo, I better buy one so I can play blu-ray titles and fold!

Is that all?

I've definitely put more than that in on games alone, watched a couple of DVD's too.

I played on my PS3 for 50 minutes yesterday though!

Yeah I watch DVD' on my 360 a lot too since it upscales over VGA, (PS3 won't over component).

Got the 360 remote too which does my TV also so prefer using that to the PS3 pad and seperate remote.

360 is nothing compared to the PS3 in terms of watching DVDs, well on a 42" plasma using HDMI anyway. Oh and the quietness. mmmm...

360 is quiet when playing DVD' though and really I doubt there is hardly any difference in quality between the two for DVD unless the PS3 upscales it higher?

LOL,quiet? Its quieter than playing a game, yes, but its not quiet.

I found the quality on the PS3 better than the 360 yeah, not sure if it upscales higher tbh.

I can barely hear it even when my TV is on "low" volume so to me it is quiet, the drive makes no noise so the only sound is coming from the fans, which aren't even that loud. ;s

Hmmm, I have music playing now ans I can still hear my 360!

Don't you have a PS3 by the way?

Yeah I have a PS3, I sit literally next to my 360 and I can barely hear the thing when DVD' are playing, obviously I can hear it when games are playing though.

Bearing in mind my PC is on nearly all the time too so no noise generated by consoles can match it.

Think you need your ears testing

Anyway, going to you're above comment, why not sell the PS3 and buy games for your 360?

Took me 8 hours for the career, then another 2 to do the championship races which are a bit stupid.

I'm not picky with the noise of consoles in general and really I don't have any reason to complain about the 360, it's not like I play with games and films muted.

No point in selling my PS3 now Heavenly Sword is like 2 months away!

OK Chief, take a chill pill.

I have quite poor DVD playback through PS3, it's definitely better on my 360. My 360 is also quite quiet when playing them.

However, I love Blu-Rays so that's a bonus
