ok if u have a 360 u know about the 3 red lights so i had that prblem and sent it in my 360. i plugged MY hardrive into my roomates 360 and after about 3 days he got the 3 red lights any significants? should i wait n buy a new hardrive or should i just plug the bitch right back in my new one i get today?

 

yea thats the "red ring of death" i got that about 3 months ago and i just bought a new one and i put my old hard drive on my new one and i haven't had a problem so i guess it should be fine

 

my little brother just got that about 2 weeks ago, we just shipped it off and it should be back in about a month, and it's being fixed for free.

 

i got a good solution ps3 lol

 

They've been trying to fix it with better cooling and smaller processor sizes, but it still happens. Especially cause not all the ones in stores are the newer ones. They'll usually fix em free tho.

I personally wouldnt get a PS3 or Xbox 36 just yet, as thier respective companies plan on upgrading the hardware and whatnot in the future. (Although PS3's are probably gonna suffer with a hardware downgrade, right now the PS2 backwards compatibility is through hardware but soon it'll be through software, which isn't nearly as good...)

The Wii is really the only safe bet hardware-wise right now. Nintendo doesn't plan on upgrading it because they don't need to.

 

I have a wii...Resident Evil 4 rocks...I'm sorry about your 360 dude, I like them a lot too

 

where are all of the xbox fanboys here to go on about how the 360s are the highest quality system on the market?

the Wii is cool alright..if you want to play a bunch of games for little kids...as that seems to be all i ever see for it.

my ps3, before running any system upgrades, played EVERY one of my PS2 games, and all of the PS1 games that i could find.

the xbox has more games (its been around longer, it should have more games) and evidently has a better online system, which im not concerned with...but it also has something like a 30% failure rate, which i consider to be unacceptable. i want to buy a 360, as there are a few driving games that id like to have, such as forza 2, but im not going to buy a system with a 1 in 3 failure rate. i had two original xbox's fail on me, and the one that i have now gives me a hard time, now and then...its obvious that microsoft just doesnt care about the quality of their hardware...as people will buy it because its cheaper and currently has more games.

 

i will never by a playstation and mine just gave the red ring and i got mine theday it came out. My xbox is still going strong and my brothers ps2 ate his game and then shut down and wont turn on. my 360 has played every xbox game i have put in it

 

why are you comparing two seperate generation consoles? it's like comparing a gallardo to a civic.

 

play Resident Evil 4, just give it a chance that's all I'm saying.
