I don't know that "many stories" is correct. A few bad machines here and there but nothing on the scale of the RRoD debacle. All hardware has faults, as long you fall within Six Sigma then its acceptable (3 defective units per 1 million made) I agree that there have been a few stories of bricking but I have not seen or it, or know anyone who has had it happen to them. I do know 3 people who have lost 1 360 each to the RRoD. I own a launch 60gb PS3 and I owned a launch of 360 premium. Which one do you think I have had more issues with. I'll give you a hint, it's the one that I sent to Texas, twice.

MS should be held accountable for snowing us, the consumers, into buying defective hardware that they knew was well above the acceptable failure rate level. It was a classic land grab, they beat everyone to market and gained a large install base, but they did it at our cost, not just in dollars and cents, but in time as well. When my system got the RRoD, I had just purchased rock band, which I had to wait 2 weeks to play because my system was dead. Letting them slide and shirk their responsibility gives them permission to do it again and again. What happens when the xbox720, or whatever they end up calling it, is rushed to market with hardware defects? Will you complain or will you bow to your corporate overlords and let them give it to you again and again. Suing MS puts them and other companies on notice, telling them that consumers won't stand idly by while they shovel faulty equipment on us.

Well considering that Vault Boy was used quite a bit in Fallout 1 and 2, I'd say they are keeping the tradition alive. So the "Oh look, we're still fallout" comment is pretty weak. But you are entitled to your opinion.

RROD is very really and a very big pain in the ass. The slimline issue and dvd drive issue are problems from the previous generation. If you want to compare problems from previous gen systems thats easy. How about xbox 1 bursting into flames just by being plugged in... Point is, PS2 had its problems, xbox1 had its problems and 360 has problems as well. PS3 has a couple of small issues, but hardware isn't one of them. It's as solid a piece of technology as you can expect these days.

You are right, Vick shouldn't go to jail over just a bunch of dogs. He should be going on RICO charges. Fact is, he and his "boys" set up and illegal gambling operation and they should be doing federal time.

With UT3 being a PS3/Pc exclusive this holiday season, I think alot more PS3s will sell than most people care to admit. Considering UT3 looks better than any game out on either console and with PC mods fully playable on the PS3 it should be an interesting holiday season.

Proof of PS3 exclusivity is in the Oct 2007 issue of PSM.
