Well, the funeral is in procession. I've obtained a coffin, the preservations, but no locks yet. I'm about to send my Xbox 360 off to the lovely Microsoft graveyard for revival or removal. Whatever comes first. I was receiving the wonderful 3-Ring light error which usually means a hardware malfunction, and the current symptoms indicate GPU problems, mostly likely melting from its soldering.
In any case, I've got everything I need but the tape. >_>

i got one of the newer generation which are supposedly immune to the standard cause of the red ring. So far so good.

Lucky Hunteh. Not to mention they're cheaper, and have a bigger HDD. >_>

And lol360 kicks the living shit out of the fail-s3 and the Wiiner.

And PC is far superior to any of them. Now shut up about your console opinions, nobody cares. All it does is start arguments and pointless flames.

Too bad games like Grand Theft Auto play for shit on PC compared to Xbox huh? Oh and most games that don't involve aiming. But I guess it doesn't matter because everyone has a PC that plays every game and shit. Right?

i much prefer my PC and it runs everything my 360 does with much higher visual quality.

I just got the 360 for when mates are round.

I got my 360 for the shit PC can't play, or play as well. Such as GTA4. Any and every GTA game I've played on PC as compared to a console was balls.
With Mirror's Edge's lack of real use of weaponry and focus mainly on movement, I'm sure it has easier control too. Anything movement wise probably does with sensitivity on pressure as compared to none at all. Not even sure how Splinter Cell sold on PC.

That's because the devs suck at making good ports, not because a console plays better. Now didn't I tell you all to stop the console debates? Everyone has their own opinion, live with it and move on.

Console games are much more expensive.

Penguinboy, isn't what you just said your opinion too, and that you also need to move on?

Just a few words there ;)

I too also had the same problem with my 360 and thought that my previously 1 year only warranty had run out. Luckily, their huge number of repiars needed caused them to raise all warrants for 3 years. Hooray!

I never sent it off though. I just kinda forgot to do so.

Saw, only reason those GTA games were "balls" for you was probably because you weren't using a gamepad, were you? It's unbelievable how much they enhanced the graphics in San Andreas.

Oh and by the way, no that's not just Penguinboy's opinion. It's only common sense that PC's have a higher potential than consoles, and there's nothing about being a PC that prevents them from playing a game the same as a console.

And my second comment was stating fact: a lot of console devs do make terrible PC ports. It's not the PC's fault, it's the game dev's fault.
ANYWAY. This journal is about RROD's, not console wars.

Same. Although it's a PS3 for me and my mate with a flashed 360.

PC always remains at the top for me simply because I have better control playing, editing and doing other things at the same time.

Luckily I haven't got the red ring of death yet, and I'm hoping that I'll never get it. (Although chances are that I just jinxed it and I'm going to get it within the next week)

PC gaming > console gaming in my book.
