    And that surprises you? It's pretty much what I expected.

  I think it's funny how you guys are still reading into this shit like crazy. Initially, the PS2 had the highest failure rate out of the Xbox and Gamecube, but I guess that doesn't matter because it came from your headmasters at Sony. People love to hate Microsoft.
  
  
  
  Aside from that, pretty good read.

    Sony's disc read errors didn't lead to a 30% failure rate, and Sony didn't completely deny that it was a problem.

      I'm not talking about the DRE's; I'm talking about the entire CD drive ceasing to function. And it's funny... I believe they didn't address the problem 'till like '03 or '04. Microsoft issued a brand spankin' new 3-year warranty for every console in 07, only about a year before the problem became apparent.

    Yeah I had three PS2s to fail on me. I found this to be an accurate detailed event of what happened. I don't consider this a rip on Microsoft at all. This is big business and it sounds just like Microsoft to want to take the lead over Sony. And it worked!

  I've never had the RROD. The A/V feed crapped out on me basically.
  
  Hopefully by the time they release the next console, they'd have done enough testing and put compatible parts together to make an even better system.
  
  Aside from all that, I still love my Xbox 360.

  My cousin got an x360 couple of months ago, he got the RROD a little before xmas he got a PS3 instead.
  
  such a same we all know of hanrdcore xbox fans who have gotten from 4-5 different x360s already pretty sad situation when a company milks their fanbase to the max and the fans are so blind they dont do anthing about it.

    this is because the 360 is worth buying multiple times. not to mention m$ fixes the mother*bleep*ers for free anyway.
