xbox 360 or wii?

Question

I bought a xbox 360 yesterday, and in under an hour it broke with the three lights of death or what ever its called. the guy told me 35% or 360's brake and microsoft only covers the red lights of death. is this true? im returning the 360 today, but im thinking of buying a wii. How often does the wii brake and will nintendo fix it? Which console do you guys recommend? Does the wii controller get boring? Games arent an issue, but the ps3 is out of the question.

if you move the wii while a game is running will it scratch the game like a xbox 360 does?

Answer 1

MS will fix any kind of problems that you have on the 360 for the first year. If your disk tray gets stuck, MS will fix it. If your laser is misaligned, MS will fix it.

For the ring of death, 12 to 3 o'clock isn't lit red, MS will fix it for the next 3 years.

35% is a little high. It's more along the line of 30 to 33%.

In general, Nintendo products are extremely reliable, so that includes the Wii.

Does the Wii-mote get boring? It's kind of too early to say for sure. The problem is that Nintendo has found new ways to use the Wii-mote, while third party developers have basically copied what Nintendo is doing. If Nintendo finds a way to use the Wii-mote as a soccer, third party developers will copy and make a game that uses the Wii-mote like a soccer ball. Until third party developers find new and innovative uses for the Wii-mote, the Wii-mote will get boring.

The PS3 performs finished 1080p hi-definition wheras the Xbox in basic terms upscales the image. the internet gaming is loose for the PS3 so over 5 years it rather is £2 hundred/$270 saved whilst in comparison with Xbox stay. in case you like on line play there is Warhawk and Unreal experience 3 is popping out. additionally the psnetwork has Little massive Planet and domicile coming to it. Blu-ray discs mean that extra could be saved on PS3 video games allowing them to be extra suitable. An Xbox DVD holds approximately 8GB yet a single layer Blu-ray disc holds 25GB and a twin layer holds 50GB yet a 360 interest expenditures the comparable as a PS3 interest. The PS3 is an rather decrease priced Blu-ray participant on an identical time as you will desire to purchase a £one hundred twenty/$2 hundred upload-directly to play HD-DVD video clips. The PS3 has been out a three hundred and sixty 5 days below the 360 and it rather is snap shots are already equalling or improving those on the 360. via fact the builders substitute into extra appropriate at arising video games for the PS3 the hollow will in basic terms widen. so a techniques as video games bypass various the extra appropriate video games for the Xbox are the two multi-platform or going to return out for the workstation in some unspecified time interior the destiny like Gears of conflict and Halo one million & 2 have already got. The PS3 has Uncharted, Killzone 2, Haze, MGS4, very final fantasy XIII, Ratchet and Clank, and God of conflict 3. ultimately the PS3 has lots extra appropriate hardware than the Xbox which has great 30% failure fee. The Xbox's strengths are that it rather is extra fee-effective (yet i do no longer think of it rather is interior the long-term) and Xbox stay is probably extra appropriate (yet you will desire to pay). while you're specially an informal gamer or non-gamer and prefer having non-gamer associates around the Wii is the wonderful decision for you. The Wii has some good video games like Zelda Twilight Princess yet various others are in basic terms mini-interest compilations. i think of you're own decision for the video games on each and every device would desire to be what you base your determination on yet i might decide for a PS3.

Now, let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:

Almost a third of XBOX 360 are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 3%.
Let's compare them

PS3 has 7+1 kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3x2
PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual DVD (9.5 gb).
Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in card reader (except 20 gb version), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $

Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. To estimate its power (roughly) - take 8600 nvidia graphics card, multiply it by 2 - get a result, still PS3 stronger, because 8600 Ultra runs on 400 Mhz and RSX runs on 550 Mhz.

PS3 has a chip from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This card is on sale for PC. The price is around 350$.

Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 8 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it.

Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.

In 2008 we'll get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4 and other great exclusives. Here is the great link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......

PS3 online world will be free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.

In some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".

The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console.

Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years.

I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to talk about it.
