My Xbox 360 finally died on me. Ive had it since last Christmas and never had a problem. I took care of it as if it were a child. I had lots of fun with it even tho I had only Halo 3, GoW, and Viva Pinata. It was really fun....until i moved to my new house and unpacked it from its special carrying case, then I popped in some Halo 3 (All excited to play) when....it froze???? Whah?? WTF? I restarted it then it did the same thing but I actually got to start a level. Long story short, I got the RROD, which you can see on my youtube channel, so I sent it in to be repaired and when it gets back (which im going to record too) im selling it with the games and assesories, and getting myself a PS3. Never had a problem with Playstation consoles in my life, and Im not dealing with the Xbox problem. So im going to try and find an 80 GB PS3 on Amazon or something. And of course im doing an unboxing of that aswell. So im still waiting for the 360 to arrive at my house. The first thing I look at when I walk home from school is my front door to see if that 360 is there and so far it isnt, ao when it does arrive it will be filmed. So you can see my transition from the xbox to ps3 on my youtube channel. I honestly cant wait for my PS3. Ive been dieing for one ever since I heard of it, I never even wanted an Xbox, I wanted a PS3 for christmas, but ended up with a 360, I didnt complain tho, didnt want to be unappritiative so I enjoyed it. But now im turning to the "Dark Side" as they say lol.

So have any of you guys ended up getting a PS3 because a problem like mine? I know Microsoft lost at least one customer beacuse of stupid RROD problems.

(BTW if this is the wrong forum for my story, sorry. I dont think it is, its about PS3)

Same thing happened to me... Xbox used to be my # 1 console, when it died on me I changed to PS... I still have an xbox (my fourth by the way)... The only thing that I dont like about playstation is that in Mexico we dont have Playstation store, we can create a fake ID, but you cant purchase anything, and that sucks because I cant buy games like warhawk etc. (even if I get the box edition I will not be able get the download content)

lol fail. I doubt anyone wants to watch you change from 360 to PS3 on jewtube. That's the one thing I hate about that website...People put up anything and people actually watch it. Anyway you really should have invested in a product replacement plan at like best buy or something. then when your 360 dies you can just move everything to a memory card and get another one. xD I would get a PS3 but my girlfriend already has one and since I can play it whenever then what's the point in buying the system?

I sold my launch 360 to a friend when the PS3 was finally launched. The 360 is still going strong, but the PS3 is the console for me. Have fun with your PS3, I'm not sure why you'd consider it the dark side since the PS3 like a 360 is just a toy.
