' Wrote:We had our Smexbox 360 ever since it very first shipped up until a few months ago when it red-ringed us... I think the world just has bad luck with faulty hardware, because ours lasted us like, four years.
Hmm, the RROD issue would probably be solved by the Latest XBox since they moved to 65nm size and changed the soldering tech used.
But one more thing to consider is M$ does a lot of banhammering on it's boxes, so if you get any dodgy DVD games from 'other' sources - beware...
There isn't much difference between DVD & HD movies/content unless you are watching on a panel > 28inches
and the panel is full HD. Anything less than the top models, is not worth the price IMHO.

' Wrote:i have just recently moved into my new house.
my living room is set up with a 42" plasma 1080p HDTV, the front of my couch is 6 foot from the wall the TV hangs on, and i have a surround sound system that will literally rattle pictures of the walls.
i say all this to show what i have to work with.
i'll not say which system i'm leaning toward to avoid swaying anyone's advice. i'm also not sure when i'll be buying the new console. i just found out this past weekend that the wife is apparently ok with me getting one.
i would love to have a Wii but right now i'm wanting an HD console and don't really have the room to play a Wii.....and deep down inside i'm afraid i'll be throwing the controller through my TV.
so whatcha think?
nearly a year later and i'm happy to say that i ordered a 60GB PS3 last night. at last the great debate is over for me, at last i can rest my weary soul.
