Re: Pick the \"next gen\" console I should purchase
[ QUOTE ]
I'm in the same situation as the OP. One thing I haven't seen in this thread it the failure rates of the Xbox. The red ring of death. I've heard that it affects 1/3 of Xboxes. Is the PS3 more stable or does it have issues as well?

Odds are your console won't fry. With the newer versions it's even more likely you'll never have a problem. If it does fry, you take 3-4 weeks to get it repaired completely free of charge. The PS3 has had a much lower failure rate, but is far from immune as more and more reports of their own version, the 'red light of death', are popping up. The rarity and simple solution even if you do fall 'victim' make this pretty much a nonissue.
