Xbox Death Brings New Life
This morn' I awoke to the sounds of chirping birds, to the smell of the fresh morning due, and to a red ringed xbox. I turned my favorite steed on only to be greeted with a big "**** off" in the form of a red ring. I thought quickly and looked for my warranty...it had ran out a year ago...
So screw it, PS3 today or bust?
Recommended games? Thoughts? Reason why I should not get a ps3? Much appreciated guys.

Get the PS3. Get Battlefield Bad Company 2, Little Big Planet and then the rest depend on what kind of games you like. A ps3 is very much worth the investment (:

Well, you don't have to pay for online member ship.
And the games are the exact same, besides some exclusive releases.
I'd say the only difference is the community and Microsoft's management system for friends and crap.

Is the community better or worse on PSN? On XboxLive you can't join a game without a majorly pissed off 12 year old screaming.

For the most part most PS3 users tend to be quite mature at least from what I've ever experienced :3
It'd be nice to know what type of games you like but whatever.
God of War 3
MAG (I don't know how the graphics are looking since beta but yeah game was awesome)
Infamous
Modnation Racers (Not out yet but you need to know in advance to cop that shit)
Skate 3
Some Ratchet & Clank
Anyhew I don't feel like continuing so >_> yah.

anyways you could try the penny trick. if it doesn't work i say get a ps3 the community does have 12 year old's in it but most don't have mics most of the people you run into with mics are usually casual clans full for 20+ year old's

Pugs, contact xbox support. Mine ringed when it was out of warranty, and they fixed it for $60. If it's the three red-rings, you may still be able to get it fixed.
[taiko][/taiko]We're so legit we can play kingdom hearts TWO PLAYER without looking.

I think it's automatic as long as you can prove when you got it.

Have you checked on the website if you warranty has run out? You get 3 years.
If it hasn't then it's £60 for a repair.

The red ring occurs only because of the heat pats in that thing. You can easily fix it with thermal paste, electrode tape and 8coins. I have the RROD to atm and I'm gonna fix it tomorrow using this method ;D Look up the method on youtube.
@Taiko. You can fix it yourself for 5dollars or something xD

Online community on PSN is just as bad as anything on Xbox live.
Xbox live is the better online service, you get what you pay for.
Xbox360 has better exclusives but PS3 has more good exclusives if you get what I'm sayin.
I like the Ps3 interface better than the 360, and it seems like you can do more with the Ps3.
If you get it make sure you get Uncharted 2 that shits badass.

If it says your warranty has ran out but you have rings, then they'll fix it for free. They didn't charge me anything.

If you like shooters then try out Killzone 2. It's one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, and for good reason.
