I'm done w/ Xbox to be honest. My orig and 360 all went to shit. I'm not one person to leave shit on for hours at a time. I keep my shit clean and well kept. These were simply console/hardware issues.

The 360 was the worst. Got RROD 2 times within the first year I had it. This wasn't a first gen of Xbox either, I waited a few years before purchasing the system because of all of the bugs and problems and shit I heard about them. Shouldn't have purchased one at all to be honest except it sucks when all your friends and everyone you know has one and plays online w/ it etc. Anyways I had to fight w/ Microsoft for them to fix it the 2nd time for no cost, and when they did fix it they mailed back my machine (this was an Xbox elite edition, which meant the console was black in color) and when I received it, I opened up the pkg and the console's face place was white! Couldn't ****ing believe it, did they think I wasn't going to notice? I called them up and asked them what they did w/ the orig black faceplate it came with and they said there wasn't any guarantee that they would ship it back w/ new orig parts. I knew they would fix it w/ refurb parts but I explained the faceplate wasn't the issue and never should have been replaced to begin with. I asked them if they can send me just the black face plate. Wasn't trying to be anal about it but my console looked pretty ****ing stupid looking and I was going to sell the damn thing once it got working ok and no one was going to buy the Xbox when it looks like someone had been ****ing with it. They told me they had ran out of black face plates (even though they couldn't tell me why they replaced my black orig one to begin with, then it dawned on me that I'm sure they're just a call center in India or some shit and they weren't going to have a real answer for me).

So I went to Bestbuy, Gamestop, Walmart, you name it, to try and find an aftermarker black faceplate and no one had any. Everyone was sold out of them. I was forced then to get online and went to the electronic bay.com and found a company in Australia that made black ones and had some in stock and for $27 shipping included (paid more for shipping than the faceplate itself) I had the face plate in about a week.

I've had the PS, PS2, and PS3 and never had any issues w/ any of them.
