Damn you Microsoft.

[missionhockey21]

We got an XBOX 360 in 2005, a week or two shy of Christmas. Last summer it finally died, red ring of death. Microsoft though extended it's warranty policy and repaired it. Of course we didn't get a new one and we got another old one. Today (a month or so after the warranty was over), the system got RRoD again.

The XBOX being dead is one thing, something I could probably get over. But my brother and I have a wicked dynasty going in NHL 09 where we committed to playing every game of the season, positioned locked each game at the same spots (C and LW.) We were two games from finishing our season and facing the #8 seed in the Western Conference. We've been riding a hot streak for quite some time after dropping six in a row and trading for Sundin on the trade deadline. So so lame it had to die now.

Seriously, if you have yet to get a system, go for the PS3. It has never given me problems, runs quietly, plays Blu-Rays/.avi's/etc, and has a great lineup coming out. The 360 is a good system, but I know more people who have had their systems die than not (granted not much more, but a lot more than Microsoft claims with their failure statistics.)

dude, I just got a used N64 to relieve the glory days. that's where it's at. I've got a PS2, N64, and a Gameboy Micro (only plays advance games). really though, if I had the extra dough, I'd probably get a PS3 just because of the Blu Ray.

N64 is the best, I have that up here at college.

I have the Wii at home which I've never had any problems with. I can't recommend that one enough.

Seriously, with my SNES if my game didn't work, you took out the cartridge blew the dust out and popped it back in. I haven't played it for a couple of years, but I had that thing since I was about seven and it still worked.

What are you playing on the N64?

[General]

PS3 is indeed money. FIFA is so ****ing cash!

[NYgiantsfan5689]

N64, playin all the classics. Mario Kart, Super Smash bros, 007 Goldeneye...and of course, Pokemon Snap has become a recent hit here at Cuse

[realmofotalk]

It's a damn shame. Only cold-hearted bastards make people pay $300 for a machine that can't last over three years.

[realmofotalk]

Now that I think of it, I can't even enjoy playing video games without worrying that the system is going die in the near future?

[missionhockey21]

Try $400 for me and not even three years as it died before the second year.

[Providence A's]

What are you playing on the N64?

mostly just Perfect Dark. I love the combat simulator since you can add sim bots unlike in Golden Eye. Many of the games I have for the Micro are SNES/NES ports (FF6, Super Mario World, Zelda: A link to the Past, Mario 3, etc.) For PS2 I have the last MLB MVP Baseball (the one with Manny), a Madden, Twisted Metal: head on (the improved version of the PSP port that also have the lost levels from Twisted Metal Black and other extras), and a couple others.

It... NEVER gets old.

[missionhockey21]

Good selection Prov. You should get NFL 2k5 for the PS2. I know some are Madden fans, but that was really the last NFL game I played seriously as they really got it right with that one.

And I definitely agree on the Mario Kart Zito.

[ljshorty89]

I've been saying this for probably 2 years now. I got my PS3 the week it was released. I have NEVER ONCE had any problem with it. 2 of my friends all have 360's, and they have gotten the red lights of death at least 4 times between them.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

it is so true. the new one for the Wii is quite good too

[HollywoodLeo]

Mr D has had his 360 for about a year now.

No problems for him yet. *crosses fingers*
