    Ok, so on the 4th (tuesday) i was playing MW2 with tenchu and griddles and my 360 froze. I turned it off and then when it restarted and tried to sign into live, it said i was suspended until the 5th for some inappropriate content in my bio (it was questionable). No big deal, a day without my 360 wont hurt me. So Wednesday (the 5th) i sign in and all is well. I am playing MW2 again and after about an hour the screen starts to block up and then eventually freezes again. I am like, what now Bill Gates. I restart the system and low and behold, 3 rings.

    I've had this system over 3 years and never had a problem with it. It's well ventilated, and there isn't any dust or blockage. Just seems kinda odd to me, the day they lift the 24 hour suspension and it quits an hour later.

    :shifty: <---Microsoft

    wow, honestly surprised it lasted that long. the failure rate on the 1st gen is probably somewhere close to 100%, I've been through 4

    that sucks

    sell that POS for parts and get a PS3.

    my PS3 still works perfectly.
    ive never heard of any PSN suspensions
    PSN is FREE
    every 10 year old who gets a playstation doesnt get a free microphone
    it plays blu ray movies
    it browses the internet
    wireless is BUILT IN
    mine has all kinds of memory card slots, i dont think the new ones do anymore though.

    and it doesnt have a laughable failure rate. seriously the 360 failure rate is ridiculous.

    acutally I have the original 60GB PS3 that I bought about 6months before the 360 and of course, never had a problem with it. I mostly play online so thats why I took a shining to the 360 and I used to play the hell out of it, so I am not really complaining that it lasted this long. I just think its very, very odd.

    And yet I sold mine cause it did more dust collecting then anything.

    Seriously PS3 guys sound like original Xbox guys in constantly having to justify their choice.

    Who gives a crap. Play whatever gives you joy & stop trying to force your view on others. Sony should be glad the internet was in it's infancy when PS1 was out...god knows those had just as much issues.

    why does every thread turn into a "Go buy a <fill in your favorite system>" thread? The guy had enough money to buy a 360, XBL, and MW2. So clearly he can afford a PS3 if he wanted it. It's not like the points being told about the PS3 are some industry secret... WE KNOW ALREADY.

    It's to Jehovah's Witness of video games in here...
