Somehow...I find you being coupled with "reason" and "sanity" to be a strange combination...(thinks of Sama cross dressing pics taken from the rear)

360's are still dying just as much as they were in 2006
lols
Mainly the ones made in 2005 and 2006 (and refurbs).

All new consoles are essentially hardware upgrades of the old ones...

I was 100% convinced that my 360 would die at some point within a couple years, but it's been over two years now and it's still working. Even my 1996 Playstation still works. Nothing I've ever owned has broken. The hype about breaking systems has let me down.

I never had a problem with my PSX.
My PS2 won't read some games, same thing happened to my Xbox also.
360 has fucked up on me twice.

Well, I've had two PS2's go out, and I'm afraid to even buy an Xbox 360 even now... but my launch Playstation 1 is still kicking... what an awesome machine. And to the people who say that a lot of launch PS1 systems failed... people who didn't know any better used to set the damn things on the carpet along with their Nintendos and Segas ( ).

Shame Sony kept changing the product so often. They should have never gotten rid of the $300 model.

Wal Mart had a week long promotion to get the PS3 for $399...and they gave you a $100 gift card with it. I bought groceries with the card (something I was getting anyway) thus the $299 price.
I don't believe I've ever seen a PS3 for $299 retail.
*gasp* Those money-grubbing bastards! Why, Nintendo never did such a... wait, they did. Well, Sega never... wait, yes they did. Then, surely Microsoft...
The lifespan of the PS2 wasn't planned on. Sony may have hoped for a second homerun with a PS3, but there's no chance they ever counted on it, regardless of what announcements they may have made.
Spoken like someone who doesn't understand the concept of inflation. You can keep $400 in your pocket for five years, and it won't be worth as much a few years later. What's the most you ever paid for a console, and in what year?

Well that's what you were implying.
Good deal you got though. I'm still going to wait until I can walk in a store and hand them $299 no strings attached.

Yeah, it must've been a raw deal to buy something like food. Talk about being forced to buy something.

Yeah I was wondering if he was limited to food as well for the gift card.

None of my systems have cracked yet and I won all the current gen shit and the previous gen as well. Now I'm not to tech-saavy so I'm wondering with all the power the PS3 is suppossed to have why bother making a newer model, hell! Isn't the PS3 hardware way more advance than the X360? I mean if MS is so cheap and all, do you really think their new console would be able to surpass the PS3 specs?
My only gripe about the PS3 is that no one worth a while wants to design for it 'cause apparently is hard as hell, the dev kits are expensive and PSN rather sucks, but don't get me wrong I like my PS3 and it's backwards compatibility (I have the 60GB) I also like the fact that it's region free, but so far that has meant very little 'cause the library it's rather dull.
Lucky for me I only paid 200 bucks for it, so I'm quite happy if it remains as a B-Ray player.

Sega Saturn $399 1995
Which, adjusted for inflation, would be $538.05 today.

Imagine the price of a 2600 adjusted to inflation.
Price should be the last factor of what system(s) you own.
The controller and games are most important to me. Never got into the n64 because of the controller although I still have mine (Mario Kart is still a blast).
