For me the 360 is much to unreliable.....far to mnay motherboard and DVD failures!

I was looking at the Wii at the weekend.....and its over priced. If it was 50 quid less it would be owrth it but, its only 80 quid cheaper than a PS3!

I'm not a big Xbox (or gayStation) fan, but listening to the kids at work, it would appear that the current crop of xboxes are much more reliable from the solder issue.

Apparently, a lot of the dvd issues are related to *cough cough* 'modifications


I'm not a gamer, so make no comments, other than agree the xbox does suffer with noise, esp after playing heavy games for a couple of hours.

gayStation has the advantage of being quieter, and bluray (though if your wanted bluray, probably be tempted to get a proper player).


The advantage I have, with a fairly powerful PC under the telly (MCE), is I can play games without yet more junk under TV.  Grand Prix 4 is pretty impressive on a 40"


The Wii, without doubt, gets far more gaming use than the xbox (which is really only used as MCE extender), as it is far more socialable than xbox/gayStation gaming.  I agree, its a very simple console, and on that basis, overpriced.  However, the amount of fun that Mrs TheBoy and I, and our friends when they come round, have had has made it value for money in my book.  In the 3yrs I've known you, I've never had you down as the unsocialable type


It boils down to the type of games you want to play though

never had any problems with mine, had it over a year now. I do have the later one with a HDMI port, updated heat sink and better cooling.

They are noisey, but the type of games i play, you can't hear it!
