As ar as im aware, Fiat cars outsell Ferrari by many millions.

Despite Ferrari having impeccable performance and reliability, and fiats being pretty much the most unreliable make of car ever conceived.

Exaggerated circumstances but the ideal applies i think.

Hardly; a PS3 is not 10 times more expensive than an Xbox 360. Fiat sell more than Ferrari because Ferraris are prohibitively expensive for most people (and it's hard to get your shopping in the back).

Quite the opposite in fact. I'm very confident that the newer Jasper chipset models are much more reliable. I thought planethurf might be in a position to say as he has seen lots of faulty 360s.

For the initial outlay, games give a rather good return on the initial investment compared to other media like Blu Ray and DVD films.



And in other news, the Sun will rise in the morning..

And the Sun is not worth the money either.
I can't compare games and DVDs. Entertainment, but both different. Eg you could get more entertainment time reading a book or better value doing a crossword

Well xbox's dont fail 10 times more than ps3's but its still a very appalling rate and i stand by my analogy

D.K.

Well I hate any customer loyalty arguments because it only goes to promote the manufacturers who are very happy for this to happen. I'm quite happy with my 360 and don't want to buy the next best thing which is the PS3 so I'm disappointed with the insults and cheap sarcasm on this post.
As far as software is concerned the creators are at the mercy of the monopoly corporations, similar to music Sony etc has too much say, and it is not a healthy situation, I don't feel the money is going to the right people.
I also feel that Microsoft have a repeating tenancy to trial their products on their customers and sort the problems after. You don't get that with Japanese cars, by the way, but you do with Ford, so maybe it is something cultural

Bought recon 360 elite in September 2009 with 30 day warranty. RROD December 2009 Microsoft won't repair free they want £70+.

Thinking of buying recon from game.co for £149 with 12 month warranty

The one we bought in August The shop told us it was reconditioned but there was only 30 day guarantee with it. They part exchanged a faulty one.

The one on game.co is recon with 12months guarantee
