Realistically, you can't win either way with the ps3 or a 360. I myself am on my 8th 360. Now I know that this might sound a little unrealistic to some of you, but this goes all the way back to when they first came out. Currently, my ps3 is also not working correctly. I have had it since they first came out as well and I am having the problem that many people with the original 60gb versions had, in which the laser will no longer read any type of disk. Even though this is totally Sony's fault that my system is broken, they want me to pay $150 plus shipping both ways to them to get it repaired. The good thing with the 360 is that Microsoft has admitted that thy screwed up and they fix them for free. With all 7 of my 360's that I have sent in to be repaired, i have not had to pay a cent.
