JackFetch Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 It was a bad decision to rush it out like they did. The problem seems to have been fixed, and they spent billions fixing everyone's consoles. Hopefully they learned from it. I'm still glad I got mine on launch day, but of course that system lasted over 2 years unlike most. Everyone seems to forget Sony had similar problems with the PS2 and the dirty disc errors.

ragernok2002 Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I think the difference is MS came out and put their hands up and Sony keep quiet about it. I do remember cousins and friends of mine having to take PS2's that they bought back cause they were dead on arrival and couldn't read disks and more than one co worker has had PS3 problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I had more dirty disc errors with my original Xbox than I ever experienced with my PS2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragernok2002 Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I never had a problem with my orginal Xbox, but disc errors ahoy on the 360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 My PS2 just broke a few months ago and I've had it absolutely fine since launch. My 360 has broke three times in two years, twice for the red ring of death, the other time it stopped reading discs. Damn MS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I never had a problem with my PS2 or my Xbox 360 Elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Well, the Elite's got the Falcon chip in it, so it really shouldn't have any issues. I've had two different Premium systems. Never a problem with either. PS2s die on me quick, which is why I've taught myself how to repair them. NES used to give me problems, but I put a new pin connector in it and it works perfectly now.
