I've used the Netflix disk a couple of times and it is completely easy to use. You just stick the disk in and viola, you are watching the movie in a minute. It's just like sticking in a DVD except theoretically there are endless movies on the disk.

So I take it you don't like watching DVDs then? :P

Oh and for the Top PS3 games, you can't really say "Killzone series" because only Killzone 2 is for PS3.

I like being able to have a game in my xbox and switching to a movie without having to go get the DVD ;)

ive seen the specs on ll the xboxes, and nothing has changed except HDMI, color, and HDD sizes. no mobo changes (HDMI I KNOW) so the RROD will STILL happen to the elites. i have seen it. ps3, YLOD is an HDD failure. replace and done. easy. and it really only happened on the old 60gb with the emotion engine (like Mine :wink) but the rate was .01 percent, so im not worried.

Are you saying that there haven't been any changes to the 360 mobo to prevent RROD? If so then you are terribly wrong. There has been several changes, ranging from smaller processors (both gpu and cpu) which were originally 90nm but most recently both are 65nm, which is the 5% failure rate someone was talking about. Also thermal pads were added to the ram chips under the mobo, as well as two standoffs that were on the metal case in the middle of the mobo were only extruded ~3mm high to be even with the rest of the standoffs, since they were originally 3.75mm and not even with the rest of the metal case. And finally microsoft added epoxy around the edges of both processors to prevent the solder lifting. And also better fans with higher CFM's were added later. Oh and the newest xboxs with 65nm processors also use considerably less power then earlier versions. But you can't forget either about different heatsink designs as well.

If you really think they haven't tried to combat the RROD then maybe you should at the very least browse wikipedia.

I prefer the PS3 always have, always will. I was raised on ps1 games and a little nintendo on the side. Frankly my only real problem with the 360 is that i hate bill gates and dont like the controller, otherwise i think its a fantastic system that has quickly mastered the online aspect of gaming. I admit, I have grown rather tired of sony's 1 step forward 2 steps back system when it comes to online. One more thing, the 360 steals ps3 games and like a hyena feasts upon the entrails of its exclusives.... too human, halo, and final fantasy..... need I say more. :P

Misinformed misinformed misinformed is what I have always said...


but i think I have come to a more reasonable fact about some of our members- ignorant to facts.

I love how you think everything should be perfect when its released. PS1 should have been what PS9999 is gonna be then.

Its all about how much certain hardware costs at a certain time. I can guarantee you better, less expensive mobos, heatsinks, fans, processors, gpus, ect. has came out since 2005.

I got an Xbox and became a Halo Fanboy.

So.. I love my Xbox!

Plus it has the new mobo (famicom i think?) so generaly it doesn't RROD.
I have a Xbox Magazine on the issue.
