From: Mumble_ | #007Why are some people ok with poor build quality on newer products? I could pick up a Gamecube from the conveniant handle and smack someone with it. I would not be scared in the slightest of it breaking. I get scared of even touching my 360 because I feel like it could break any second. :(
It helps when either the place you bought it from replaces it, or when the manufacturer replaces or fixes it for free.
I've had a few problems with the 360. I own 5, and had to send two or of them in, more then once. I think I sent the third one in once. The other two were Jaspers and have been fine.
I've had some problems with PS1 too, and Funcoland replaced that immediately, it was within a week or two of purchasing it.
So what's the problem? PS3 screwed me hard.... I had to pay $187 for a repair only one year after buying it, and then it broke again only one year after that. So to have one working PS3 I paid $987. And yes, that kind of sucks. But you think I'm going to just be a dick and post stupid trolling topics on the PS3 board because of that? It's not going to bring attention, it's just going to be annoying to normal people who are PS3 fans.
So go ahead and stomp your feet if you really think that is going to make a difference.
