Rod Hardwood Wrote:360's may break easily, but that's why they retroactively gave 3 year warranties for the most common problems. I had three boxes break, largely because I would put them under a stress test: leave it turned on for a week, putting things on top of it to trap heat, rapidly file through game menus for extended periods of time.
Fourth one is working fine, I don't know how long its been, but after the three-year warranty is up I think I'll sell it and get a new one for another extended warranty. At 250 a box it's a non-issue, and even it was the alternative is a console that has a library so small that I could run through it in less time than it takes an xbox to break. :/

I can understand preferring Xbox exclusives to PS3 exclusives, and if you're willing to pay the price, go for it. I won't fault you.
It's at the points where you're trying to degrade the PS3 (especially in comparison the 360) that I'm poking at.

PS3 has free service. And it'd be worth paying for.
