Bill Gates Says the Xbox 360 Will Be the Most Reliable Console
For the current generation of gaming consoles, the Xbox 360 has several reputations. On the positive side, the Xbox 360 is the undisputed leader of online service and multiplayer, but on the negative side, it also holds a track record of being fairly unreliable. At one point, up to one-third of all Xbox 360 consoles experienced the hardware failure popularly known as the Red Ring of Death, which rendered the console unusable. While many from Microsoft's entertainment and devices division have spoken on the Xbox 360's reliability record, Bill Gates was mostly removed from commenting on the issue - until now. Speaking in a BBC Video interview, Gates revealed that it's now Microsoft's goal to make the Xbox 360 "the most reliable" console on the market.

Come on man, do better than that your forgetting some xbox ones.
At the least 2 of those FPSs aren't worth a buy imo.
I love sony to death, and have both the old systems. but when I have to get a new tv just to play the game right... whats the use in that? IMO.
BTW isnt Socom a 3rd person shooter so is Ghost Recon thats why i didnt include it
Just saying that most PS3 games are multiformat
i agree PC kicks ass 100000000000x more than any console cept for nintendo DS lol
i think that even if a game is out on a console the pc version will be 100x better look at Gears of war and COD 4 for example
Only 2 exclusives?
Resistance
Killzone
Haze
UT3
Socom
Time Crisis
I agree that PC wtfPwns consoles - but I XBL is starting to grow on me. If you have a mic for a pc, you usually have to use something like Vent. Mic on the console only allows you to talk to teammates, and often doesn't let you talk to them while you're dead. I hope windows live picks up pretty soon.
And you still have to buy a new tv to play the games properly on 360.
Be my guest:

and as for gt5 and MGS 4.. never cared for them at all... but like I said... IMO
Fuck everyone who cant see that the DS is the best console out there well hand held
I hate how ps3 owners try to say that its got better games when most are clearly MULTIFORMAT like FIFA AND COD 4
Not to mention my friend who has a ps3 cant play mulitplayer on some of his games coz theres hardly a match
I hate how ps3 owners say there online is free but its ip to the developers to implement servers like EA and thats why they sucks so bad at least microsoft keep the servers up to date and running although at crimbo the whole xbox live was fucked do to the amount of users trying to join lol
least they said they would try to fix the servers and xbox live for future i hardly lag on xbl and its not coz i have an amazing connection
I got the ps3 because it makes a great all around machine. It's a great for streaming media from your computers, a great Bluray player, great upscaling DVD player, and it also makes a great internet/home use computer, when you load Linux on it. All that, AND it plays games. Works out to be a great value for me.
And I flatly refuse to pay to play games online. If the game is online and cross platform, I either buy it for my PC, or if that's not an option, I buy it for the ps3. 360 is my last choice for an online game, because I'm not paying for Xbox Live Gold. I think it's stupid to not only buy the game for 60 fuckin dollars, but then also have to pay to play it online. MS can kiss my ass on that.
If a cross-platform game isn't online, I look for it on PC first, and if not, I just buy the one that's cheaper.
EDIT: In case you couldn't tell, I own both consoles. I actually like them both as well, but for different reasons. I just hate XBL. And I hate when people bash products they know little to nothing about.
I just don't like people who come in a thread like this and start talking about a product they really know little to nothing about.
