The new reduced failure rate is 31%.

Personally, I don't think that you have to worry about failures, they added a 3 year warranty so when it fails you'll be covered.

Compared to all the systems, I still prefer my ps3 over my 360. I mean the only exclusives for 360 involve halo, master chief, or marcus phoenix. Fable 2 is a good game though.

360 gets more exclusive downloads, but games not owned by microsoft will get ported to the ps3 with more features like Bioshock or Red Alert 3.

The online for 360 is better, but 50 bucks for service is ridiculous. I already pay for internet service so I play online with my ps3 for free. The service difference is almost negligible if you have a good connection.

Do not buy a fan for your 360, they usually never work or void your warranty. Just keep it in an open, well ventilated area.

In the long run, a 360 will cost more than a ps3.

Controllers are 40 bucks and if you want a rechargable battery with charger, that'll cost an extra 20. PS3s have rechargable controllers and sell for 55 dollars. PS3s have blu ray players, 360s lack hi-def movies save the netflix that you pay more for.

PS3 exclusives may be "rare" but they are more diverse.

Resistance(FPS), Killzone(FPS), Metal Gear Solid(stealthy stuff), Little Big Planet(platformer), Gran Turismo(driving), Motor Storm(driving), Uncharted(Like Tomb Raider but with a dude).

More people play the 360, but most of those are adolescents and fail at playing harder games online like COD4 and COD5.

The points system for the 360 market sucks and I really prefer the dollar values on the ps3 market.

BTW my 360 died epicly. RROD during GTA 4. So now I love playstation.

You know, where I work at we've had to replace 6 X Box 360's dueto malfunctions. Have yet to replace PS3, and we had a PS2 demo set up for 6 years (same PS2).

PS2 FTW!!

He must be thinking of the alternate dimension where 360 degrees is slightly to to left of your original facing.
