That's my view too, my recent Elite purchase went sour because (through HDMI) the screen would go Black for 3 or 4 seconds every now and then. Now have my older Elite whining away under the TV, if that dies then that's it, no more. Really hope it doesn't as I'm still interested in some upcoming games.
This may cause a stir, sorry if it does.

My points to those who bring it up in every thread time and time again. I've had one of each die.
I've said in the past that it's actually the other way around, but I merely mentioned those 3 posters as they always have their say without being petty or resulting in stupid replies, I find the die-hard Xbox360 users are more mature than the PS3 posters who seem quite uninformed at times. It's a lot better than it used to be though.
Sky HD and PS3 are fine through HDMI.
my boys 360 died this morning, have one left now, when thats gone - then no more money going to MS till next console is released
You have 3 years warranty don't you? I take it it's a 3RLoD, of course, that's if you weren't daft enough to mod it.

no, its not RROD, no power, won't even turn on!, and its not the fuse or power brick, this is their 2nd one which was left legit for obvious reasons, 1st one RROD and i fixed myself which lasted awhile after that as the 3yr warrenty wasn't out then, got this one from a online retailer for £150 back in March and now its dead, so have one left.

Thats a silly statement considering the "chassis" you are reffering to has only one use, it blocks interference. You expect them to make this out of 1inch thick steel do you? Thats going to make the console higher quality? Or is it just going to make it 1Kg heavier to give the PS3 fanboys something to moan about.
The fact is that both the PS3 and 360 are pretty equal, sure they are opposites but they both have there strengths and one should be picked over the other depending on the games you want. Also it doesnt matter if the 360 has a high failure rate, its not a lot of effort to return it to where you purchased it for a new one.
The reason you hear all about these particular games is because they are huge franchises for Sony and anyone who has had a PS1/2 in the past will be intrigued to play these games. Where as most of the exclusives for the 360 are failry unknown franchises or new IP's, which I'm sure will be great but don't get the attention due to being unknown to most.
Please don't generalise, I had to drive 15 miles to exchange my 360 twice. As I'm self-employed I also lost half a days wages per trip.
Your far better commenting on the customer care you recieve from either of them, which in my experience is vastly different.
Utter BS statement there.
The PS3 and 360 are not opposites IMO. They both do the same thing and cater to identical markets.
It's still in warranty then. Send it back and get it replaced.
What are you on about? Ranting and raving, take your rolleyes with you on your way out, whoever you are.Thats a silly statement considering the "chassis" you are reffering to has only one use, it blocks interference.
