mine is 1st batch, it's on the horizontal, with a PS2 on the top and the warmer of the house at 1 or 2 feet....
zero problems!
I have lots of friends with 360s and no one had any problem.

harsh language there Horrodee...but..completely fitting...screw sony

personally I think there should be a web wide boycott of ps3..send the name 'ps3' to digital coventry Wink ...though I expect it's only us Euro peeps who are being bent over the hardest who may feel strongly against the ba**ards. Statesiders may not feel the same as they get a much sweeter deal.


I looked up "gormless" in the dictionary, it said "without gorm" .... so i looked up "gorm" but it wasn't there ????

I can't believe that I actually agree with Crash, but I too would wait a few months and get a PS3 ... The X-Box 360 (which I have by the way) is just like the X-box. with many many FPS games and hardly any RPGS, in fact there is only 1 true RPG out at the moment and 1 in the pipelines ..... The X-Box is just like a Pc, where FPS are king,so if you like FPS get a X-box 360 if you like Rpg and original Japanese games wait for the PS3.

Most games will be Multi-Platform anyway but the best exclusives will be on the PS3, and I'm not talking about the big budget exclusives, but smaller games like Okami, Rogue Galaxy, and nemurous Jap Rpg's that would bnever had made it to the X-Box or 360

Also remember this is a very X-box 360 dominated forum, not quite Microsoft fan boys but very damn close

ehhh...

1) Mass Effect
2) Two Worlds
3) Blue Dragon
4) The Precursors
5) Enchanted Arms
6) Bioshock (shooter elements yes... but at its core it is an RPG system so say the descriptions)
7) Elveon
Cool Warhammer Online
9) Fable 2
10) Lost Odyssey

so... theres 10 that you didnt mention. Luckliy for me, I never have cared for Jappaneese RPG games. In fact, I pretty much loath them.

Course... guess it all comes down to what you consider an RPG to be as well... those all fit my RPG definitions and the articles about them call them RPG/ Action RPG games.

I have a ton of XBOX 360 games... few of them are FPS's.

I much prefer western RPG's too, although there have been some jap RPG's that i've really enjoyed. For me the 360 provides exactly the type of games I want to play on my console, the only thing that bothers me is it's reliability, although it isn't a major issue, as i've already said.

I shouldn't have to buy a cooling system so that my console lasts longer then a few months at a time.

After reading some horror stories about rings of death and other M$ bullshit such as crappy solders I'm having a second thought myself...I have this great opportunity to get a brand new 360 for just 200$...it lacks a PSU but guess I'll get one somehow...all those stories really makes it hard tho...is it really worth the trouble, or is it not? Why can't those sons of bitches at microsoft do something properly for just one time!? Crying or Very sad

i bet there is ppl who have more issues with pc hardware rather than with consoles, even since 360 was launched, somehow nobody afraid to build there rigs and have all those troubles with same overheating and other problems, anyway 360 is only have price of 1 video card that some ppl change each year while loosing about 35% of it's original price, so if u have bricked box each year consider this as a small upgrade Razz
nothing is build to last forever, especialy when it's Made in China

Again... not everyone has experienced these issues and the people that do tend to be louder than the people that don't. I and 3 of my friends all purchased 360's at the same time. none of us have experienced any problems thus far. ESPECIALLY now that the first gen of them are out the door.

1) Mass Effect (great, best games on X-Box we're Jade Empire, Kotor)
2) Two Worlds (Oblivion rip off, a PC game, boring as hell)
3) Blue Dragon (looks great)
4) The Precursors (never hear of it, looked it up and it said it was a FPS with Rpg elements, so in other words another FPS)
5) Enchanted Arms (shit)
6) Bioshock (FPS with Rpg elements, levelling up, doesn't make a Rpg)
7) Elveon (Oblivion rip off again)
8 ) Warhammer (MMORPG, boring)
9) Fable 2 (If anything like Fable 1, will be bad)
10) Lost Odyssey (Looks good, but won't be coming here for a year at least)


What I'm saying is if you got a decent PC, you can play all these games on that .... Ps3 hopefully will have more unique Japanese themed games.
Eliz you're a lying little 13 year old prick who has been caught lying so many times it's unbelievable that you are still posting on here, no shame at all, so your views I don't even consider.

About the overheating thing, I live in Thailand where the weather is either hot or very hot, and to tell you the truth I've been shitting myself about the X-Box 360 over heating.
I bought a cheap little Fan that plugs into the USB and that seems ok, I've now got it standing and hopefully that will keep it cooler.

wtf !!! Where was I bragging how cool the Ps3 is ... I haven't said the word cool since I was 13, And where did I even mention anything to do with original concepts ?!?! I was talking about mainly Jap Rpgs which are no where near original, they nearly all have the same kind of story .....

The original poster asked which was better and wanted opinions, I gave my opinion ... Because you don't agree that's not my problem ...
This forum is slightly biased to the X-Box 360 & X-Box has been for the couple of years I've been here, nothing wrong with that, but I just stated that so the original poster can have an idea of how to take all these opinions.

I do apologise for saying you are a liar, I got you mixed up with Elazaul ..... but I won't add any smilies or big text or act like a little childish wanker by calling you any names ...

I like many other true gamers will most probably end up owning all 3 next Gen Consoles anyway...

Oh and about having a life coming from a person with 4,900 posts, hahahahahaha

p.s. 1) Who the fuck is Leo ??? 2) I can't get a PC for $400 that runs X-box 360 games smoothly you're right, but also a PC does quite a few things more then a X-Box 360 does right ??? So wouldn't you expect to pay more ??
