Re: January NPD

Now that Blu-Ray is the winner. I may get a PS3 just for that. I already have a 360, but the blu-ray is a selling point for me.

Re: January NPD

sorry you've had issues with it, but I would never call it a piece a whatever!

there were some faulty ones, but that doesn't label all the consoles that are good.

Its far from crap, and I'm enjoying every minute of XBL and its games in general.

Take a look at the 360 problems thread (it's on Part II btw). A whopping 24% are still on their first console. I'd call that hardware crap. Anything over 5% failure rate on an electronics item is considered to be bad quality. I'm surprised MS is still selling over 200,000 consoles a month with that kid of track record. Is the packaging made of crack or something?

On my PS3 I only own 7 games and hoping for more in the future I can add to my library, but I have 126 Justified games on my 360, not to mention 25 xbla games.

actually, I feel more than comfortable calling it a POS. Even though I'm obviously still angry with it, I've never had a console die as much as the 360 did. I haven't been fanboy attacking the 360. Live was amazing when you build up a great list of friends and the achievements added to the enjoyment of games. Having 3 die in a year is unacceptable.

As for how many games you had, good for you. I owned something like 30 and rented numerous more, all in less than a year. I feel that I supported it very well, and combine my experience with MS's poor customer service and replacement policy, I have every right to feel like I do.

I may feel differently in a few months, or if they release a console that is made far more reliable.

It can safely be call a POS with the extremely high failure rate.
