I would get that one fixed, mod shop or ms if you can get that under warranty

Both systems have same graphics minor differences, i believe the 360 has a better graphics card then ps3 but the processing power is a bit stronger on the ps3.

I will probably get a ps3 for its blu ray player and a couple of exclusive games. mgs2 and kill zone 2. So i am not biased to either. The 360 controllers are heaps better imho. If you like multiplayer too, nothing comes close to xbox live.

So to answer your question get your 360 sorted and if you can see any other reason why you would need ps3 get one.

Take this post into consideration i think alot of people here own ps3 and will tell you to get one just because they have one

I have 360 and play online alot. One main reason i still have it is because my friends have it and we all play online together. I do like PS3 though and blu ray is a bonus. If you play games by yourself and dont get online much, get PS3 but if your like me, XLive shits all over PS3 online. I would send yours away and get PS3 aswell.

Have you actualy ever compared the two together? Even microsoft admits that its not in the same league as the ps3. The graphics are only similar when its a game that has just been ported for all platforms. If its a game that was made for the ps3 it gives graphics the 360 cany even dream of... Check out the in car view of GT5 Prolouge on the 1080P resolution if you dont believe me, the level of detail is simply amazing

Procesing is a bit stronger in the ps3? It uses a specialy designed 8 core cell cpu (cant buy anything that powerfull for pc's today) vs the 360's tweaked 3 core intel xenon cpu... Id say its an insane ammount more powerfull

Ops i am sorry did that upset you

Yes you are right with everything you said and i am wrong.

lol, wtf?!

He's right though dude, I own a 360 (came back from repairs just yesterday) and the fact that it broke once, and will most likely break again, will make me get a PS3... before Xbox came along, console breakages were a myth...

i retract my sarcasim

not interested in console argument i have all three, and have my reasons for liking each.

PS3 (at this stage) = blu ray video machine when some good games come out i hope to see this change

xbox 360 = gaming machine

wii = lots of fun, but now really just collects dust

Yeah...I have had a -

Sega Master System 2 - Never broke down (still have and works!)

Nintendo Gameboy "the house brick" - Never broke down (still have and works!)

Nintendo SNES - Never broke down

Nintendo 64 - Never broke down (sold to a mate, and still works)

Playstation 2 - had for close to 10 years, never broke down

Playstation 3 - never broken down

My mate and his little brother both bought 360's when they came out. they have gone through 7 between them...

Keep away from 360's...

My original Nintendo still works, providing you blow hard enough into the cartridge :)

Every couple of years I go back to it to see if I can finish some games that I couldn't when I was younger... as it turns out... no... I can't...

HAHAHA SAME HERE

went home sick from work the other day so on the way home bought a PS3 GTA 4 bundle... I have to say the console feels far superior to the 360 in terms of bulid quality... It runs soooooo much quieter and no where near as hot as the 360... after playing the 360 for an hour you could take the disk out and fry an egg on it!

Very happy with the purchase although the graphics on GTA 4 aren't exactly flawless so can't really tell how it stacks up in that area... we will see how GT 5 compares to Forza 2 in the juicy graphics stakes

anyone want to buy some 360 games lol

I am looking to buy another cheap one but with hdmi to take advantage of my 1080p tv as all 360's DO 1080p. You should really get it fixed, cause there are some exclusive AAA titles coming out shortly that can't be missed like Ninja gaiden 2 and gears of war2

I will... I'm still a little 'emotional'

I mean if Bill Gates wasn't such a nice guy now I would be flying to the states to personally throw it at his head

they guy in EB who sold me the ps3 reckons he has been through 4 360's... one of them lasted a total of 10 minutes out of the packaging before it self destructed... I would be homicidal

The PS3 has a tweaked version of a Geforce 7800GTX graphics chip, and in theory it should be faster than a standard GF7800GTX.

You can buy AMD's (very hard to find) 4x4 platform or that (insanely overpriced) Intel Skull (or whatever it is called) dual cpu socket motherboard & throw two QX9770s on it :D ... me want one of those... all glory to Octo core!

Back to topic, to the OP just get a PS3 & throw the 360 to the bin, where it belongs lol.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
