    Yeah you could buy a Wii with its outdated graphics and games............

    Stick with the Xbox the new one doesn't suffer RROD anywhere near as much as the previous one, which microsoft actually held their hands up and extended the warranty straight away. Where as Sony stood there and blamed the users rather than their shoddy system!!

    I thought it was good that microsoft extended the warranty as the failure rate was shocking. the new ones can't get RROD but we used to get loads returned with faulty disc trays. I've got the wii, ps3 and 360 and I'm always on the xbox - I'd reccomend OP to back up their game saves and just get a replacement console.

    My point being, that no matter that they extend the warranty on these things, they KEEP failing...

    How hard can it be to make a working system with no failures after all this time?

    Further more, depsite the failure rate and despite the manufacturers knowing about them, machines are simply replace with "refurbished" units.

    Money for old rope ? - :rotfl:

    I agree with you - thats what I meant by the new ones have this fault and the old ones had the other - they keep getting problems but the fact that they extended the warranty I think is good otherwise people would be stuck with faulty consoles whereas it give them 2 extra years of remedy. I still think they're the best console on the market because of the games available but I understand people's frustration with them completely.
