        <![CDATA[ So of those here who own one, which one in a series of XBOXes are you on?


Bought my first one Friday evening, returned it early this afternoon for one that didn&#39;t freeze up and paint the screen in the &quot;graphic&#39;s chipset
shriek of death&quot;.

			<description><![CDATA[ The Wii is fun when I have friends over on the weekends. Other than that, it collects dust. With the games coming for 360 this year(Bioshock, Mass Effect, Blue
Dragon, Eternal Sonota, Halo 3, GTA4, Ace Combat 6, Assassin&#39;s Creed), I will be spending a lot of time(and money) on my 360 vs the rest of my
entertainment.
<br>
<br>
I can&#39;t complain about Nintendo&#39;s hardware though. Blowing NES carts was also the last issue I had with something from them. Honestly, I have owned

			<description><![CDATA[ Despite the history of hardware problems, the 360 is still by far the gaming platform with the best titles and online functionality. Even if my dies again
I&#39;ll just pony up the $140 to have it replaced.
<br>
<br>
Plus it functions as my HD-DVD player so until the standalone players come down to a reasonable price, I need the console.

			<description><![CDATA[ In terms of hardware, Nintendo is far and away my favorite manufacturer.  The last problem I had with one of their systems was having to blow dirt and dust out
of NES cartridges.  Compare the durability of gamecube and Wii to that of either xbox or ps2/3.  Comparing the battery life of psp vs DS is just mean, too.
<br>
<br>
But not all games are out for all systems.  I like the software availability for 360 the most atm, and I enjoy their online service the most.

			<description><![CDATA[ And then if/when you get a replacement, put at least a surge protector on it. If you did have one, take a look at that protector&#39;s manufacturer website and
see if they have a guarantee to replace damaged devices if their protector fails.

<br>
I place my &#39;360 next to the PC here in my home office so that I can use the secondary VGA port on my main PC&#39;s HD display. Since I did that, I can plug
the &#39;360&#39;s power supply into the UPS that the main PC uses since the POWER... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve no doubt its higher than &quot;normal&quot; ... but what the number is I don&#39;t know. None of us do. Anecdotal evidence is horrible, period, end of
story. Its useless in making anything more than a very, very vague estimation of &quot;normal&quot; or &quot;not normal&quot;. So, we know its probably not
normal ... big deal. That doesn&#39;t mean its risen to the point of being worthy of a class action lawsuit especially given how generous they&#39;ve been with
extending warranties,... ]]></description>

only lasted 3 months.. well It was party my fault..(had the system on carpet and cause the video card to cook itself) but I still was able to get it replaced.
Now System #3 has been going strong.. but its starting to act up.. I&#39;m really not to worried since I still can get it replaced for free if it dies out here

			<description><![CDATA[ They don&#39;t replace units for free.  It&#39;s $140, and considering how long the system has been out, this many systems, even ones that were bought at
release day and are out of warranty, shouldn&#39;t be dying.

			<description><![CDATA[ Compared to other consoles it&#39;s insanely higher. I frequent some forums where the main topic is gaming and a huge portion of 360 owners have had defective
units. This forum is pretty tiny(relatively) and already on this thread there are 6 people who have had one break or know a friend who did. I would say there
is a problem and MS is helpful and generous because they are selling so many units that are breaking. It&#39;s in their best interst to be generous and
helpful. MS will never... ]]></description>
