I have played many of the same games on both systems...I am sorry but the 360 (currently) has better graphics than the PS3 hands down. The only place the PS3 shines is PS3 exclusive games. While I am on my 4th 360, and about to be on my 5th as I just got another ROD, as long as Microsoft replaces them for free, quickly, I will continue to play xbox. At least until PS3 steps up their graphics or makes a controller that fits a man's hands :) I own all 3 systems.

The issue is well known and can be repaired with a decent success rate. I have had a few consoles that seem to come back repeatedly. I repair these at no charge as long as it is within 6 months. I am cuurently modding one of the problem consoles with extra cooling fan and heatsink to see if I can eliminate it entirely. If anyone is interested in having one repaired give me a call. 585-734-5687. Gary I have a electronics repair shop and see a few of these every month.

The majority of them is cold solder joints on the GPU. This is caused by wrong time/temp for the solder during manufacturing. Do not overheat your console, take to someone who has the proper equipment, or send it in. I tell my customers I will re-flow the chip for 30 days if it fails again.

Then I get the Force unleashed...beat the first level, then after I blow up alot of things at one I get a red ring section in just one corner and the console shuts off. Then I just turn it back on and its fine. All I can think of is a system overhear or a disc read error...dunno. If anyone could explain this phenomena I would appreciate it.

I didn't even get one of the first editions, I bought it around easter last year. I had continuous runtime on my '360. I would practacally live with it when I wasn't at school or elsewhere. But then I bought Halo 3 as soon as it came out. I forgot to mention all my other games played just fine before that, never even a falter. Then I played Halo 3 and it just suddenly decided to freeze up, so I turned it off thinking it was just a random freeze, and when I turned it back on it had RROD! I'm not mailing it in, I'm just buying an elite, as soon as my dad gets off his butt and gets money. Yeah, mine died last fall after about six months.

I work for an electronic engineering company and would like to dismantle one and see if we can find the problem. My son's X-BOX RROD for the third time, but he won't let me near it. He is afraid it will void the warranty. I have a theory this is a ROHS design flaw. Decoupling caps placed next to large thermal masses,such as BGA's with SAC alloy balls and heat sinks are subject to much greater heat profiles.

Why do they say that it will??? Blu ray vs HD-DVD? In 10 years we won't use disks. It will be super high speed downloads with fuck off hard drives. In 4 years microsoft will have a new console and I hear dell are thinking of making one. If the PS3 can't even play pc games that are out now because it's got no memory yet the xbox can how are they going to compete? ps3 will NOT be around for 10 years! Why do they say that it will???

I've had no hiccups or problems with it. My girlfriend also plays it so it gets used quite often even when I'm work she's playing COD4 on it. I play it often spending well over 8 hours on it when on my days off and when my girl doesn't want to go out. We both use it and I must say I am very happy with the product. well I can’t speak for early releases of the x360 but I’ve had my Elite for I’ll say a little over 5 months or so.

I am disappointed with Microsoft for shipping the console too soon without adequate testing, and for sub-par repairs. I always thought the point of a repair shop was to do repairs, not just replace. Anyways, my 360 has been on top of my entertainment center 1 full foot from any wall or enclosure, standing up with an intercooler on the back since I got it a year ago. Once a month I hit it with air duster to clean any dust out of it, and I still got the RRoD a couple times. After powering it down my console works again. About 1/5 of the time I turn my console on, I get an error message that also goes away when i reboot it. You cannot tell me my console has problems because I dont take care of it. I shouldn't have to put this much effort into taking care of it and it STILL hasn't helped. And as many have said, Microsoft extending the warranty as far as they have (when my notebook only carried a 90 day warranty) shows they are acknowledging there is a problem with the design of the 360 itself. So anyone who thinks there is no problem with the console itself is a goddamn fool considering the manufacturer has even admitted there is a problem. For those of you fortunate enough to not have any problems yet, have a little patience, the frustration is on the way. @ anyone who thinks the RRoD is caused by owners mistreating their console
