please dont spread rumors that are not true. the xbox 360 does not have a "terrible hardware failure problem".

yes, its true that some of the LYNers' 360 have failed but if you looked at the numbers, its just a small percentage. it's not as widespread as everyone thinks.

how do u know its true? how many cases do u know?

how many of this "should i get console A or console B?" thread one needs ah?

you get so many different answers from fanboys and haters, in the end, you'll probably be more confused than you were.

for god sakes, do your research la a bit. if you like a particular genre of games, find out which console has the best and most titles of that genre available (or coming soon).

remember, one man meat's is another man's poison. the Wii may rock but it actually may not be the right one for you. likewise for the 360. The best is you do your research, give both consoles a try at the shops. after all, no one knows you best other than yourself.
