Well then your very lucky, look around the net its a very common post about the xbox. Try looking at AV forums or UK site Watchdog (enough said)

And the games you mention are as a result of a 1 year lead in the market place, which is root cause of the above problem. M$ just didnt give a shite about the consumer all they cared about was beating PS3 to the market. (not saying that Sony are saints by the way but atleast the stuff works)

This will ultimatly be the 360’s downfall

Well PGR3, ISS, FIFA07 is another couple of the top of my head but if you want I can keep going.

And as for issues still never had one problem (and I mean not one) with my machine and it was a UK launch console so moving comfortably towards the two year mark without issue, which allowed me to play all the other worthwile games the 360 has instead of waiting for the PS3 for the pleasure of playing them after spending more on the console and more than full price (on the 360) for the title over a year after it was released.

Ahh what a pleasure that would be, call Gamestation now! Tell them to hold one back i’m coming now I have been convinced (to buy one in perhaps another year once the price warrents the purchase and there is something worth playing for more than a day with a live facility that actually allows me to interact with other players in game)

I must say I’m quite happy with my PS3. I haven’t experienced any problems at all. I’ve played it for countless hours and even left it on one night while downloading a game, yet no overheating issues ever occurred. So far, this is a solid system and props to Sony for making a quality product. The games will eventually come, so just give it time. Every new system experiences a waiting period for great games to follow. Of all the systems, the PS3 in my opinion is worth the price when you add it everything up. So the PS3 gets my vote.

I just can’t be arsed to check mine, it’s not making any un-toward noise, unlike my Xbox360 which sounds like a helicopter spinning up in comparison now i have become accustomed to the very quiet PS3.
