Got any proof on that?

Anything at all? A link? An internal Microsoft memo?

Hell, I'll take Bill Gates scribbling something out with crayon on toilet paper...

Since I sent mine back to MS, I've been playing my fixed console (same box, though I have no idea how much the "guts" have changed) for 4-6 hour play sessions without any issues. In the past it'd lock up on me due to the drive issue I was having. Now, no issues. It's also quieter since they've at least changed out the fans or the fan speed controller.

I believe someone said in one of the other Xbox threads... I've heard that bullets fired from guns kill people... since I've never been shot myself, but I know someone who has and has survived... I'd have to say that the whole gunshot=kill thing is a myth pure and simple.

Do you see where I'm coming from here? The whole "It hasn't really happened to me" or "my console is fine NOW" closing your eyes and plugging your ears argument doesn't really fly when people around you are dropping like flies in a hail of gunfire.

I would say that if you were in the market for one it's a great time to get one. They're much cheaper currently than ever and the hardware issues have been fixed. I just sure wouldn't buy a used or second-hand one.

I wouldn't buy one at all. As until I hear about the issues being fixed I'm holding off thanks.

I realize this is a very pro-PS3 forum so my words probably will fall on deaf ears, but some folks might find it useful.

It's not falling on deaf ears because it's a 'pro PS3 forum' it's falling on deaf ears because it's laden with Bull$#!+

I have one of those... MS is saying that I am out of the 3 year warranty... the box was built in 2006/9 & 'bought' (a BB exchange, I got there EW) in 2007/4... even if they go buy when I bought the 1st unit I would still have 4 months left on the 3 year warranty.

I have emailed them about 8 time, back & forth, they want me to send in the 360 then they will think about fixing it, what the f^ck is that suppost to mean!!!!!!

I may end up filling a BBB complaint with them...

I can't help but look at your username, and icon, then tell you with regards to Microsoft:

"All of this has happened before, and will happen again..."

Looking at your gallery...... I'm kind of surprised you have any working electronics left. Swiffer can be your friend.

No..... and it would appear in the picture that he has one of those cooling units on it as well. If it is one that has it's own power supply..... that's all well and good...... but if it's one that you plug into the USB of the XBox, or even worse into the power plug on the back of the xbox..... they are known for causing problems.

Really? I definitely would have pegged that for a guys room. Sorry. I'm a woman too, and I find clutter to be stressful.

Isn't the playstation fanbase just as loyal? If you went through 4 PS3's, wouldn't you get another one?

Honestly, I think I would. In fact...yeah, I know I would so long as the warranty was fine, which is what I did with the 360.

Exactly. It has games I want to play so I will keep playing it.

My PS1 died, I bought another.
My PS2 died, I bought another.
My original xbox died, I bought another.
My 360 died, I had it fixed for free.

I guess I should have sworn off of the PS3 and the 360 since previous consoles gave me trouble.

Nintendo, thank you for being a soild gaming machine when all of the others have been pure crap.....
