PS2--my first one only lasted 3 days, I had a total of 6 PS2 before they started selling the PS2 slim
As of now I'm only on my third xbox 360 (one of them was stolen)
but it's not terrible now, check my above post, according to square trade the failure rate has dropped dramatically in the last year to belo 5 % "Fortunately, SquareTrade found that Xbox 360 quality has improved dramatically since the third quarter of 2008, shortly before the 65nm CPU/GPU "Jasper" model was introduced. Since then, first-year failure rates have plummeted to below the 4 percent the company projected. Looking at 500 units purchased in 2009, SquareTrade found that less than 1 percent had suffered the Red Ring of Death. " again,last paragraph http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6216691.html why would i buy a console if i have no interest in the games it offers? i am getting a PS3 for killzone 2, what was i supposed to do till then? give up gaming, yeah right ,in your dreams, i could say the same thing about the PS2 DRE, and at least MS pony'd up with the 3 year warranty, SONY got sued and STILL denied liability, even after they where found liable, don't act like the 360 is the only unreliable console in history,that's just plain naiveAs with lemmings statements on the 54% failure rate...."It's not a fair representation of all the xbox360s / small sample size". MS was forced into the 3 year warranty; That or recall all systems. They didn't "pony up" to anything without the legal system being involved.keep spouting rubbish with no tangible evidence to back up your claims,and i never even commented on the 54% failure rate except to say it sounded about right at the time, i don't even really have to defend the RROD, it doesn't bother me that much, i am used to faulty hardware, and i don't relly give a stuff how other people feel about it, if it bothers you,just don't buy a 360,simple as,you stick with your weapon of choice, i will stck with mine, which is the 360, cos i can't get Halo,fable,mas effect,left4dead, splinter cell conviction or alan wake on the PS3[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="furomaster_99"]Huh? So you are saying "MS you can sell terrible hardware and I will buy it anyway". Well, that's just perfect! :shock:

Too late. Cows have already been pretending that the problem had never existed.
lemmings are the ones who bring it up when noone knew about it just to try to justify the horrible 360 failure rate.
yes it was called the ps2.
You'll get cows in here and likely all ready have since im taking part on page 3 of this thread saying but but but but the ps2 never failed, it was flawless...ect
But in reality the ps2 had the worst reliablity last gen, enough to warrent a class action suit that ACTUALLY went to court, and guess what? they never fixed it, they lowered its chance just like microsoft has done with the 360, but i had a ps2 slim purchased in 2007 and it failed to DRE....
Lems need to L2Read this thread is asking if any console is WORSE then the 360, not if there were other consoles that had probs. I can't believe how many lems keep coming in saying cows are saying the PS2 never failed, were saying it didn't fail as much! Get it straight...yes it was called the ps2.

Rofl so now lems claim the PS2 was worse then the 360? :lol: Now I've heard everything...Rofl so now lems claim the PS2 was worse then the 360? :lol: Now I've heard everything...Eddie-Vedder
You're the one telling everyone to learn to read and claiming only lems are claiming the PS2 was worse when PS2 is frequently mentioned in this thread. So everyone that answered PS2 in this thread is a lem?

The people mentioning the PS2 aren't claiming the PS2 was worse, they're just saying it too had problems, which is why I said L2Read, cause the thread is about if theres is any console that is WORSE, not if any other console had probs.[QUOTE="MizFitAwesome"][QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"] Rofl so now lems claim the PS2 was worse then the 360? :lol: Now I've heard everything...Eddie-Vedder

Just like the people that still deny PS2 had problems to begin with....
lol I used to blow into the cartridges all the time, after a couple of times they would usually work.The NES and it's shoddy 72 pin connector for reading games. Blinking lights and unreadable game started just months after first use, which of course led to the world-wide myth that blowing in games would make them work, a myth that is still believed by many today.

hardly anyone knew about it?lol you mean it never happened to you #my ps2 broke two times in 4yrs so yeah i think thats worse
I don't know but my PS2 has always been fine and so have my other family members and friends. I know two other guys with X360 and they have said it has screwed them over at least once, for me though twice. Not that I'm bagging Microsoft, I love my Xbox 360 awesome games and awesome online
