according to a survey 360's have a 33% failure rate, basically dont buy one until microsoft have sorted the problems out. Buy a PS3 instead NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM FAILING AT ALL.

If i had 400 floating around i certainly wouldnt even consider buying a 360 after reading this forum everyday 
And how can you say theres not enough games for the PS3, show me a person who owns every single PS3 game AND is bored with them wanting more?

My first 360 died with the 3 red lights and i still sold it for £100 
But i get my 360's for free anyway
Anyway had a look on gamespot as i am bored and found a back to back comparison....
Conclusion
The Xbox 360 had better graphics in almost all the games we examined. The 360's biggest victories were in Madden 07 and Fight Night Round 3, where the differences in texture detail and lighting stood out in our comparison shots. We couldn't capture this in the screenshots, but the Xbox 360 games generally offered better framerates too.
We're going to give the PS3 the benefit of the doubt in this initial round since developers might need more time to figure out how to maximize performance from the Cell and the RSX. If you look at the Xbox 360's first Madden game, Madden 06, you'll notice that it doesn't offer very realistic stadium shadows, either. The trouble with buying a console at launch is that you often have to wait for the second or third generation of games for the system to fulfill its potential. The PS3 didn't beat the 360 in this first comparison, but the games do look fine for first-generation titles. The real graphics battle will likely come next year.

Erm your wrong in the first week of sales on the ps3 percentage wise more were returned than the 360.
Yes on your other argument that the xbox has had more returned than any other console.
But seen as the 360 has sold 11 million unit's compared to how many ps3's?
And no i wont fight for the 360 til death. I just want a console that has games and not a 500pound price tag after you've bought a game

It's not even the cost of the consoles that fuck me off its the £40-£50 a game that does??
I read online that it costs somewhere from £1,500.000 to £3,500.000 to make a game whilst the absolute top top games go upto £6,000.000 (gears of war cost £5,000.000 to make but so far has made £80,000.000 in sales)
Why could they not make the games £30? gears of war would of still made £60,000.000 so far lol.
Just a little moan really

Technically he is right although way off the mark
Every 1 million PS3s sold there are 2000 failures, thats the figure from Sony
Every 1 million Xbox 360s there are 330000 failures, thats the figure from Microsoft
So technically there have been 1000s of PS3 failures but doesnt relate to how its been put across.

Dunno mate but they know more about this type of shit than we do
I think your shots may be replay shots? i know that makes a difference but if you go on their site and rad the feature it does make sense as all the pics are of the exact same part of the games..

Seriously though I've not played the ps3 version and i won't do until i buy one for when gt5 comes out so i can report back then..
But on gamespot they highlighted 5 games i think and you could see the 360 was more clear with what it showed but the ps3 showed more? but not as clear?
