In hindsight I'd have gone with a PS3.

PS3 is pretty awesome. Mine has been my regular use gaming console / Blu Ray / DVD player and occasional media server for a few years now. I take it out, clean the fans every once in awhile, put it back in and haven't had any issues. When it dies, it'll be replaced by another PS3 unless the PS4 is out by then.

Uhh, no!?
Yeah some designers/manufacturers/plants had initial problems, now things are sorted and stuff is being churned out with good quality since over two years.
That Microsoft is incompetent to make a working hardware product happen over and over is something on their head.
You being an inverse envirotard doesn't bring anything to the table.
Edit: My PS3 is still going strong after 3 years.
Sure they have some flaky units too but nowhere near the Micro$oft fiasco.

I agree, my only issue is that I use my console for sports gaming. Football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. None of these titles are available any more on the PC platform. The downside for the console is that the company that has exclusive rights to that league usually puts out half-assed work.

They should make an official console emulator that lets you play all the console games on the PC. I might even pay good money for it.

PS3 could be better than xbox360 if they idiots monitored their servers so people couldn't blatantly cheat/hack in games. Especially in the FPS game like call of duty. Last time I checked no one monitored and idiots were running hacks all the time. I bought it and played for 3 days now its a paper weight in my closet thats only taken out when I want to watch a blue ray. Its worthless compared the 360 in that regard. Would rather take a chance on the Xbox for enjoyable content and risk a red ring or having to buy another.

They thought they had it fixed the first dozen changes too. Vote is out until crap actually starts lasting 40 years.

I suspect user error.
My Xbox lasted for years, got replaced when I got the red ring and then I sold it when I traded up to a new black HDMI. No problems at all.
