These are some really good points. I've been a victim of the infamous 360'sTROD "Three Rings of Death" before and it's dude, isdue to the poor design of the ventillation system, poor semi conductorsoldering andinsufficient quality control from Microsoft manufacturors. X-box 360'sHDD drives are not costly but they are the only one that are used on the 360's external dive memory component. So, In essense those who have upgraded their PS3's memery find it easy, cost-effective, and not had any overheating problems with their SATA drive if their Driver is's spining over 8000 rpms? Cool and thanks for your input. Yes, I know! I shoudd have but it to the "System Wars" blog. Ciao for now.

I'd say the PS3.

Howdy all. Let's consider what's going on in your future gaming investment. 1) Have you bought one of these recent next generation gaming systems? 2)Through by which method did you buy it from. 3) In store or online? 4) Are you linked to the internet? 5)Are you frequently utilizing your gaming console as a memory storage device?

Here's my question to you. Is it better to upgrade the memory of a Playstation 3 or an X-box 360? Which is more cost efficient? Which one gives you better memory access? Which one allows you to transfer and back-up better a external usb device and fully restore any backed up profiles? Please give me your input and tell me if your spending more than you want foradditional memory (GB) to your gaming console. With everything gaming being online accessible and every new game out there requiring online broadband internet connection; we'll you be having a memory storage overload or do you think your current storage capicity is well equiped for all these "required" patchs and updates. Hmph.."I don't want to upgrade anymore please, just let me play my freakin' games already." Anonymous.
