Um my PS3 will read games but only for 45mints Sucks balls. Thats why i really need to go to PC gaming. And i almost did a deal with a guy on here before my ps3 broke. I was going to trade a working PS3 and 400 Cash for a Pc before it broke.

new poll. im starting to think its worth buying the slim because i would assume that some of the hardware issues have been resolved and i heard somewhere the slim is more efficient as far as power consumption

yeah xbox gets RROD alot. at least for me. i've had it 2x now but i just call up. they send me a box with a shipping lable inside and the foam and all that stuff to ship it, if you complain you get xbox live gold for 3 months. also if you complain enough they go faster. they told me 3-6 weeks. my mom got on the phone and i got it back in 5 days
