Get PS3. 360 is plagued by the Red Ring Of Death.

May i know the meaning of plagued by the Red Ring of Death.

@jillti
Is that you in the avatar?

go get xbox360.no worry about 3rod,it can be fix already.

well 360 for the games but in matter of specs u can get PS3...
but 3ROD is not a problem la...
coz MS is giving 3yrs warranty for it...
the trouble is to claim it at SG only...
coz MS don have branch here...

More explaination on 3ROD...

honestly. if u want to get the xbox360 wait till thy implement the 60nm tech on the chips thn only will it be MORE reliable. the warranty issues dont work here in msia.. so u really hv to wait awhile bfr geting it back asuming u got the 3ROD..

dont get modded cause it will only cut short yr console in the long run for multiplayer purposes.. online is the way to go these days.

as it stands now ps3 is the way to go. but the games are pretty hefty priced. pros and cons.. but really up to u.. depending which games u want exclusive also. u got HOME and plenty more. cause sony updates its interface all the time. pretty allot of nice exclusives also for this console..

-downside-... never will be a modded version.. IMHO.. if there is.. u'd be an idiot to buy it hahahaha

go read up more to understand both consoles..

Actually jillti, it's a lot better if you refer to the Xbox and PS3 threads before asking a question. These questions have been asked many, many, many times.

Get both.....all the headache gone.

Hey Bro tot, that is the most brilliant idea. Ha ha

we got a bootlicker in da house , tot

no la get ia all la.. Wii, PS3 & 360.. all FTW.. .. if got money la.... anyway ask ur self bro .. Whta the game u like to play.. ?? & after that choose the console based on the u like.. easy... ... cheer...

yeah...choose the console base on games u like... but it seems games from both consoles r good.... @_@ hahaha...

indeed... too many many many times... never ending story lah

get a ps3 and you won't regret it. Although games are pretty limited, still the ps3 looks cool with a samsung lcd tv. Not only is it a game console it is also a decorative item for your room.

get 360. More games, more live, more fun

Again...another thread about PS3 and xbox 360....since u have no idea which one is rite between x360 and ps3..get wii then....

Bleah, consoles >_> just get a PC.

Yeah. PC rocks !!! But expensive hobby on upgrading stuff. Now im switch to console with i found its more farking fun

ps3 have been modded?

He saw it in his dreams ler.....

get the ps3 -- blu-ray is winning the hi-def battle. the games are all coming in now. no ring of death (<1% fail rate), free online play.

i bought my ps3 about 2 months ago and have been extremely happy about it (except for the online part --i keep on getting disconnected; i think its a stupid streamyx problem). watching movies in hi-def is glorious.

lalalalala... lalalalala...

get a ps1? cheap mah

so...now..u r declaring that bluray is winning the hi-def battle....u must be kidding me......and free online play, but keep getting disconnected..another joke from u...

Another ting about your statement that "the games are all coming now"...do u mean Heavenly sword and MGS4...again...MGS4...lol....what a joke...

boss jgn lah marah2 di pagi yg suram ini... when lah i can drop by to meet up with your service advisors yg 2 org tu?

ces.. ada pakatan sulit.... ~~~iyaaaaa~~.... iku~~~

So I heard some modded PS3 games are coming into the scene from the unexpected China mainland.

I guess they really got some good crackers there too. Wonder how old the blu-ray code breaker this time....5 yrs old?

nope...the code breaker's a 4years 10 mths old gal...

Yes, check the stats. I don't have to google it for you do I? Blu-ray has the majority of sales b/c it has the majority of studios backing it -- I'm not going to get into an argument here, just check back in 3-6 months and we'll see who has even a bigger lead


There are great games coming out, again do a search. I've heard xbox has a great online features, but then again, you PAY for what you get so I'm not complaining. I heard MS is starting to ban mod xboxes as well?

Anyway, I'm not a fanboy, to each and his own. Buy whatever system you're comfortable with. I just wouldn't invest in something that fails so often (>33% reports have cited); and blu-ray gives ps3 the edge.

haiyah damn tired of such arguments again and again lah... but nvm lah since my job for ISO90210 already done then no harm posting on this issue again

see you already said look at CURRENT figures/stats for BR then you concluded BR is the winning format. then like that just look at CURRENT figures/stats for xbox360 and ps3 then definately xbox360 is the winning 3rd gen console! well i am sure you will disagree with me by now!

again... you heard MS is starting to ban mod 360 but in fact MS already started banning a while already lah and I don't have to google it for you do I?

true failures rates is so damn high but it is cure-able with removing the xclamp.

lastly... just stop arguing which is good which is best lah. got extra $$$ then buy all if not buy the one you interested most then sits back and enjoy it lah. why wanna make fun of other console?

Agreed. Just buy what makes you happy and whatever console fits your needs. They both have their benefits and downfalls -- just do your own research before you spend your $$$!

Preparing for an official opening maaa..... c it your self...and downside is ...her slaary really kill me at every end of the month ..but good thing is...has a n intangible benefits...

Hmmm..didnt u were the one that said that PS3 has all of the positive factors and all the negative points for xbox 360..now..such a contradictory statement....

No, i purely pointed out the positive factors of the PS3 and didn't mention the positive factors of the Xbox 360 (wider selection of games, more reliable online system, etc.).

Reread my statement, I don't find anything contradicting. I'm saying that each system fits depending on what you want.

My needs were:

Low fail rate, Blu-ray (or a winning hi-definition standard), free online capabilities (HOME should also be hitting pretty soon), superb graphics (right now its arguable who has the better one), DVD upscaling, MEDIA streaming capabilities, SD-card support. I'm not too much of a hardcore gamer so I bought the system more for the media and hi-def needs. The games will come LATER.

To each and his own.

Just get the one which you feel you will enjoy the most.

get Super NES

sure wninner!

gamebrick like tetris
now i heard i came with full HD 1080p
with price not more than RM25
better go for it

No lah guys.....but this one is r0xx0r

no need console one, just the controller will do

::output: not only 1080p but 1200p
::HDMI 2.0
::......

WOW!!!
Pm Bernard For The Price First!!!

1. It's unreliable. As Microsoft finally acknowledged this month, Xbox 360s fail more often than the company "is comfortable with." Some reports pin the "Red Ring of Death" failure rates as high as 33%. As a result, Microsoft increased the system's warranty from one to three years at a sizable and appreciated expense, but the company's unwillingness to fully disclose what's causing the problem undermines the solution. Gamers don't want to risk $300-400 at the chance to play games on 360, they want to make sure it can and will play games for years to come. Pile on the recent class-action lawsuits claiming that the machine scratches discs at random, and it becomes clear that the Xbox 360 isn't nearly as dependable as it could be.

2. It only sells marginally better than Xbox. Launch-to-date sales of Xbox 360 in the US are only 200K units more than the original Xbox for the same period. That's a bad thing. Granted, calling the first Xbox a failure would be unfair. But the machine was hardly a success as it lost billions of dollars throughout its life and only managed to sell 24 million units worldwide (14% market share) in comparison to PS2's 115 million (67%) and GameCube's meager 22 million (13%). Microsoft needs to sell more 360s than it did Xboxs -- many more -- if it wishes to secure a long-term place in the video game industry. The company's unprecedented and steadfast reluctance to drop the 360's $399 price despite Sony's exorbitantly priced PS3 could come back to haunt them.

3. A recent string of bad publicity. Microsoft's long-running denial of Xbox 360 failure rates mentioned above isn't the only public relations gaffe experienced this year. Robbie Bach, parent president over the XBox division, dumped $6.2 million in Microsoft stock just weeks before the company announced the costly $1.15 billion warranty extension. It marked the first time Bach had traded stock in eight months at a non-scheduled time, according to filings. Microsoft called the incident "unrelated," but the appearance of an insider selling stock right before a huge loss just looks bad. In addition, having Xbox president Peter Moore leave right before its biggest and most important holiday season doesn't look good either, whether voluntary or not.


4. It has limited appeal. You'd be hard pressed to find a better "hardcore gaming" console than the Xbox 360 at the moment. But how does Microsoft intend to infiltrate the living room (assuming that's their ultimate desire) without first offering software for the entire family? You know, that whole casual-games thingy that seems to be doing so well right now ("Hi Wii!"). While Xbox 360 delivers traditional games in spades, it needs to start doing something different in lieu of superfluous first-person shooters if it wishes to sell more. By all means, keep the good core games coming, but Microsoft needs to surprise gamers with something fresh while broadening the console's appeal. The Viva Pinata series and Scene It! DVD games just aren't enough.


5. It bleeds money. Microsoft has lost unthinkable amounts of money on its Xbox business. In the six short years it's been in the industry, the company hasn't made a dime. When adding the recently announced $1.9 billion losses incurred in fiscal 2007, total life-to-date Xbox losses are conservatively estimated at somewhere around $6 billion dollars. Despite Microsoft's luxury in funding said losses with its monstrous war chest, the fears of investors are easily justified. But why should gamers care how much money is being spent so long as Microsoft keeps footing the bill? Because gamers should want team Xbox to stick around for the sake of competition and quality of play, not to mention long-term support. Every man has a breaking point, and anyone can pull a Sega and quit the hardware business -- even a rich kid with deep pockets.

6. It still doesn't sell in Japan. Can a console achieve ubiquitous success without the support of the second largest video game market in the world, i.e. Japan? That's the billion dollar question Microsoft is trying to answer while striving for moderate success in the country. Since first launching in December of 2005, however, Microsoft has sold a paltry 420,000 units in Japan -- hardly a dent, though not unexpected. And the allegation by some that the Japanese public don't buy American products quickly loses merit when realizing that even the native PS3 struggles in sales. Microsoft doesn't need to dominate Japan. It never did. But a larger variety of software, and smarter marketing efforts, targeted squarely at Japanese gamers would reinforce the company's global efforts in the video game industry.

Looking ahead to fall of 2007, the Xbox 360 has the biggest games lineup in recent memory, a lineup that includes BioShock, Mass Effect, Madden 08, Assassin's Creed, and more in addition to the hugely anticipated Halo 3. Master Chief's last adventure could easily be the best-selling game of the year and shift hundreds of thousands of 360s in the process. If there's one thing that sells consoles, it's great games, and Xbox 360 has them. Sadly, Microsoft's ongoing string of mishaps may keep them from truly ending the year (or the season for that matter) on a high note.

Even if microsoft makes 10000000 billion..I dont think they will give me even a single dollar....lol

It was an easy decision for me even though I'm a very big Sony fan.

Halo, Halo 2 and the upcoming Halo 3. It's amazing how certain games could influence the purchase of a console. I use to just play games on the PC.

The PS3 is great, so is the XBOX 360. I'm not going down that route of which console sells better, better publicity, limited appeal, etc.

The fact of the matter is, right now. XBOX 360 has more games. The original games are not crazily expensive and other than the hardware issues they face, it's a great console. Going live is another huge reason. Now, things may change later on. XBOX Live could become free, PS3's system could start charging, etc. You could wait months for PS3 to get their games in check, you could be happy watching movies with the Blu-Ray but that's not the reason I went down the XBOX route. It was for the games, plan and simple.
.

You never can tell. There will always be the PS and the XBOX fanboys.

So decide what games you want to play, certain games are XBOX only, some are PS only. Decide your budget, and you'll be fine.

Honestly, with the upcoming release of Pro Evo Soccer 2008, I'm going for PS3.

I am forever a devoted PES fan.

The only game I play is that, lol.

But 360 is also taken into consideration. XD



Conclusion: It's the games that matters.

firstly.. cant compar much of this 2 console.. since since one come out first and the other come out way way later... so ppl all buy xb360.. just imagine kalau ps3 come out a year b4 xb360? would the situation be the same as now? kenot compare this 2 with wii since wii for children(ops.. this willget me fired my wii fan..haha kidding guys)Wii definitely winning against ps3 since it got some whooping wiiiiimote.. dammm nice la that thing.. btw wii sale is way leading compare to ps3 now...(O/T isit unfair for not including wii in this place.... wii sell more higher than ps3 and its next gen console aswell)

for xb360 and ps3 , both also got pro and cons.. ps3 got br but expensive and xb360 cheap but have 3rod(cure able)... so my opinion.. why complicate the matter.. get both and enjoy the fun of both world.. no worries... but bad side.. is not much that is exclusive game any more esp ps3.. all exclusive open to all ready.. haih...

for me ill get xb first... if got more cash in hand ill get ps3 first... then ill get the other one.... may be a year apart la.. hahaha...

Hi Jilti,


After so many input here, I think urself oso quite confuse on which 1 to go rite? But myself have both consoles, so can giv you some of my impression.

Xbox360
1) Frankly speaking the graphic frm Xbox360 is slightly better than PS3. If you read the gamespot.com graphic comparison, you will notice.
2) Games are cheaper than Blu-ray. But all games are mostly from PC game developer. You will miss those Japanese games.
3) The controller feel more solid, I mean the buttons, direction stick compare with PS3. Can connect to headset to communicate with other players online. This is a good feature, whereby I can communicate with all other players at 1 time. This is really fun, when you hear their laughter and screaming.
4) The Xbox360 cooling fan at the back could be quite annoying, coz a bit noisy compare to PS3.
5) Conclusion: In future, if they develop games for both console, I will definitely buy Xbox360 version. You knw wat I mean....

PS3
1) I have no intention to buy this console at the moment if not becoz of Ninja Gaiden Sigma.
2) If for Blu-ray movies, make sure you have a FullHD LCD TV, else its juz a waste.
3) Games are quite expsiv. No big title games at the moment, although all will be coming soon. Then why not buy it till then..? May be the price could be cheaper with extra adds-on.
4) Controller felt crappy, probably is becoz of they have removed vibrators, very light feel. Good thing is rechargable. Heard the motion censor also last minute add-on.
5) I like the design(Glossy+Sleek), comes with Wi-Fi, save ur hassle frm connecting it online.
6) Conclusion: I personally feel that this console will only start gain its porpularity end 2008. So gamers can have fun with other consoles while saving their hard earn money invest on their 2nd console.

Im sure that both consoles will have their so call "Exlcusive game" in future, so you might need to have to buy both consoles sooner or later. So lets save more money to get both consoles, rather than make urself headache for choosing only 1.

Although man can only have 1 legal wife, but please dont apply it on video game console too....

Stan

It seems that she haven't replied, maybe bcoz she's getting bored by hearing you guys mumbling...bla bla bla....
so she went to sleep, see





::the feelings really good to be a SHOW STOPPER

never ending question i think i'll go for 360 1st later on if got more money then add a ps3 hihi

for me..ps3 will be good..for the future...if u wanna play right now...buy 360..ps3 will raise in 08....u sell ur 360 then buy ps3...kuikuikui

now 360 price almost same like ps3...buy ps3 loh....can watch bluray some more...360 have to add-on...terbang RM400-600 more... hahahah racun orang..hahaha....

go for 360 more game.. go for ps3 also got game.. same wat.. hahaha.. toss coin... then get ur answer.. hahaha

HOW TO MAKE A DECISION:

1. Look at the game lineup for both consoles.
2. See which one has the most games you like.
3. Choose the console with the most games.
4. ???
5. Profit

hey guys ..i just bought the ps3 yesterday on a promotion for RM1800 for a 60HD and 2 free games .. the graphic are killing me until now
these are the games:-

1.Medal of honor : Airbourne
2.Grand Theft Auto
try it out on my lcd screen..its was like so real..

very the nice price there... mind sharing with us which shop gave that price

ehh macam nak join darkside je

Until i can afford a decent HDTV...I just choose wii Furthermore...my whole family is playing videogames now. Other than that, work is just keeping me from long hours in front the tv unlike when I was still studying.

So yeah...choose the line up of games which suits your lifestyle and timetable and then you won't regret buying it.

pinjamkan aku rm1k dulu boleh

wow, u actually got grand theft auto?

erm which shop is selling for RM 1600? can tell please?

just buy 360 lol.. good online services.. wait for ps3 being modded and then can buy lol.. hahaha

which you have to pay for, and if you mod your x-box MS will ban your machine...

go to low yat, you can get the PS3 for a pretty good price if you haggle. A couple months back I got my PS3 60 gb for 2020 including a HDMI cable and motorstorm ($60 retail price) -- considering the hdmi cable retails for around ~100, I would say I got my PS3 for around RM 1700 and this was a while ago.

The price should have dropped considerably by now.

I am still waiting for PS3 to shrink the CELL processor's die before I get a unit.

im waiting for all this ps3 upgrades to end(80gigs... then rumble... then better chip ps3's) -__- why cant they just stick to one version of a console?

your lcd 1080i or 1080p?

if 1080i, then i must consider ps3 alredi

RM1800 for a 60HD and 2 free games??
PM me wre is the shop...

GTA 4 and airborne out edi mer!??! he is jus crapping.. wth.

PLAYSTATION 3 FTW.....

just wait lol.. sony will charge for HOME too.. nothing free in this world man anyway i get ur point about the "price".. need to buy ps3 soon

link http://homebetatrial.com/


they will charge on extra stuffs for character customization, extra furnitures, and u can buy more space for ur private apartment etc..

so should i believe you or the official?

buy both... ps3 + 360 = FTW....

The PS3 doesn't suffer from nasty overheating problems like the XBOX 360 so shrinking the CELL processor is not a must and secondly, it's best to buy the PS3 asap as future models won't come with Emotion Engine hardware so that means all PS1 and PS2 games will run in emulation mode so that means more compatibility issues like the owners in the UK are facing now.

Buy both, own both, play both, brag about it in the forums, and get called an idort.

wats an idort?

ya lor, wth is idort? a new word?

idort = people who own ps3 and xbox360

*source from Oxford Dictionary

Well....Sony wanna save cost thats why eliminating the GS+EE chips and go 100% emulation
Its best to just get a PS2 by then

hey i need help as well.. my fren wanna get a console.. but not very sure whether to get the ps3 or 360?????

at first thinkin on gettin da ps3, but then found out dat it is not modded yet.. and ps3 ori games are very expensive..
then tot of gettin da XBOX360, but then heard about da problems.. and da 3ROD thing.. so really, which one is better and worth it..

buy both.. ....

Go speak to Bernard from Gamers Solution at City Bazaar. He sells both and he can advise you on which one to get. You don't necessarily have to buy from him, just ask him for his opinion.

where is this??? City Bazaar??? anyways.. also.. where to get these consoles at a cheaper price.. is there any shopping mall with loads of console game shops??????? thx...

Buy both so you can enjoy 2 difference experience of gaming.

Indeed, buy both. Currently PS3 is getting kicked left, right, center from the others due to lack of killer titles. Things might change when we start seeing those titles but as it stands now, Xbox 360 is rulling in terms of game selection.

3ROD RULEZZZZZZ

~~nice 3ROD~~ 360 FTW...

3ROD I LOVE U ....YEEEHAAAAAHHH

Dude, you really ARE lost. Sg Wang has lots of shops but don't go there unless you want to risk being cheated. Just go to City Bazaar (opposite Sogo) and speak to Bernard. His pricing is very reasonable for all consoles. Have a look at the Gamers Solution thread for directions and comments there.

many website do review on 360 and ps3..overall is 360 slight win ps3 base on graphic lah..sound quality i dunno..i will grab 360 cause im microsoft freak..hehe..no other reason...

yeah... go to bernard ask for his opinion and you can try out at there...
give him your favourite titles then i think he knows which you wan...

BTW Xbox is not having a big win over PS3 on graphics...
we have to wait coz PS3 only out for a yr... but Xbox 360 is around 2 yrs already...
so wait for some title... exclusive one... then we will know more...

I choose Xbox 360 coz a bunch of gaming title...
and easily get the Original version 2nd hand in the Nite Market in LYN...
we have a lot of ppl selling their game in the Xbox forum...
PM me if you really want some games... coz i thought of selling some...

i thought modded xbox 360 one is banned from the xbox live?

who asked you to buy Modded...
i use Ori la...

yes modded will be banned from LIVE...

hmmm if I'm gettin 360 elites...
yea the risk 3rod quite high... my 360 just 3rod.. but send to sg to claim...

well 360 for temp a lot of games compared ps3....

just get the console which have a lot of game titles...


like xbox vs ps2... i still prefer ps2 coz of the game library...

I personally prefer xbox 360 over PS3 at the moment because of the nice games it has. To be honest, I haven't touched the PS3 for a long time as games are pretty boring.

I also like the Rumble pack in xbox 360 controller. Definitely an important ingredient for modern gaming. Sadly, PS3 miss that vital function.

The PS3 sixaxis sensor is rubbish.. I personally prefer wii control. More natural and more fun.. Boxing & Tennis is definitely a winner.

If you have tight budget, then I suggest go for wii or xbox 360.
If you are a hardcore gamer, go for all three.

If you really, really want a 360, I suggest you wait til Microsoft fixes all the hardware problems with their machine. Otherwise there's a high chance of you sending your new love for an emergency operation.

I own a PS3 and my friend has a 360 which I've been playing. I've been very tempted to get a 360 and I keep asking my game shops whether I should get one and they keep telling me not to. And these are the game shop owners. I'd love to play Bioshock and Halo3 but if the 360 is going to fall apart, then I'm not going to support the product. Maybe I'll get them on the PC instead.

Another issue to consider - online gaming. Remember that you have to pay for Xbox Live. PSN is free. So if long term costs are an issue, do take that into consideration.

zzzz all this dont matter la one should get what ever console to suit what every game he/she likes as long as you are having fun with it what brand/model doesnt really matter heck if a PS1 give u the same "high" as any other game consul then get that....end of the day i think it all depends on what u want to play and how much fun your going to have...

I personally want to get the PS3 cuz big name tittle like KH 3 FF13 and MSG 4 all coming out de and i LOVE the eye candy that the PS 3 offers....but still xbox live is dam cool.My 2 cens

Xbox 360. It's the exact right height to prop up the short leg on my kitchen table. The Wii and the PS3 are too rounded. The table leg slips off, and BAM! there goes my soup, all over the place

my opinion,

Go for Xbox 360. I previously owned one, but sold it off due to some personal reasons. Now, i own a PS3. However, i'm thinking of buying the 360 again if the price falls below RM 1200. For a wider choice of games, go for xbox 360.
