For instance, the answer to "how does its large PSU not cause heat problems" is "they used quality heat sinks instead of cheap big fans".<BR/><BR/>Honestly the facts seem to indicate that side by side, the Xbox Elite is simply a shoddy version of a PlayStation3.<BR/><BR/>And by shoddy - I mean shoddy. <BR/><BR/>But Microsoft's FUD has been so good (Kotaku once featured Peter Moore not once, not twice - but three times in one day after all) - that people are still reporting about Sony's financial woes than what consumers are actually taking home.<BR/><BR/>And I know a lot of this is still anecdotal - but there is a lot of anecdotal, its all bad to horrible, and I don't trust Microsoft's party line on the issue (see their love for "sold" v "shipped" as to way).<BR/><BR/>I think the 360 could be a great machine, but more and more I'm resolved not to buy one until they revised hardware completely.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260309971152360156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-85449458154956376602007-06-07T06:50:00.000-07:002007-06-07T06:50:00.000-07:00I feel compelled to point out that -- as of this m...I feel compelled to point out that -- as of this moment -- there have been very few PS3 hardware failures reported on forums and in the media. Compared to what people felt was Sony's shoddy work on the PSOne and PS2 (remember people turning their PSOne machines on the side or upside down to get them to work?), they're looking pretty good next to Microsoft's hardware.<BR/><BR/>Of course, when you pay $500-$600, it better be reliable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546761703943819030noreply@blogger.com
