Yea but for every one post of a RRoD theres thousands of other happy 360 owners like myself. 360 is #1 for a reason....and no i'm not a fanboy, I own a ps3 as well. Of course you will see more problems with 360's....there's alot more of them out there lol

You have your numbers off... It's for every person complaining about the RROD, there are 3 happy owners... as it's about a 25% fail rate... Me though... Honestly, I may complain about RROD, and its my right to, but its not enough to keep me from leaving the 360, for my PS3...

I like the 360 over my PS3 for 7 reasons...

1.) X-Box Live has no comparisons...

2.) The Achievements are VERY addicting...

3.) Almost all games have available local multiplayer...

4.) Most multi-platform games run better on it, for no apparent reason (On paper, the PS3 is better)...

5.) Netflix...

6.) Easier to bring places if you have an HDTV, and the place your going to doesn't (People in my situation know what I'm talking about)...

7.) Halo (Enough said).

Though lately, I realized that games wise, there really isn't much of a difference between the 360 and the PS3 anymore... What you have to ask yourself is... Do you like Resistance and Metal Gear? Or do you like Halo and Gears? Do you like LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm? Or do you like Mass Effect and Dead Rising?... You guys get my point... Aside from those 8 games I just mentioned, and maybe a few other small games... The rest of the games out there now are on both systems. One thing that may make the PS3 the dominant system within a year, is if Killzone 2 turns out as good as it looks, and if God of War 3 is as good as the first two were... If both those games turn out great, then I have to say that the PS3 has the upper hand in exclusives... Still not enough for me to like it better though, even if both those games I just mentioned turn out great, just because of those 7 reasons I gave earlier, I'll like the 360 better... But then again, when you consider Blu-Ray on the PS3, it's a close call... Hard to say which on is better for me.........

You mentioned quite a few things that are on PlayStation 3 as well. -_-

Anyways, you think that's bad I got RRoD the second day I had my 360.

No, there's nothing different about the amount of RROD's. Its just that since its Christmas time the op felt he needed to create an entirely new topic where people who got ring rolled on christmas could share their distress instead of posting in the sticky.

id love to see some evidence that the fail rate of 360s is even close to 25% and if that IS true what does that say about the ps3 still being in 3rd by a sizable marginPhooey442

I don't know what the numbers are now, but when MS finally admitted the problem and extended the warranty to 3 years it was a 33% failure rate. That means every third X360 would get a RRoD. But they have made some updates to the hardware since so I don't know what the failure rate is now.
