Yes, because the PS3 online community is absolutely stellar. The vast majority of the red ring failures are easily fixable as well.

Ive had numerous friends of mine have theirs completly bricked where they had to return it. One friend is on his 4th xbox due to all kinds of failures not limited to software issues. And another friend is on his 3rd.

PS3 Online community? Whats that? LOL It lets me play games when i want to and if i want to play online, it lets me as long as i have an internet connection, it lets me connect with friends. I think its good.
In reality, i dont do a whole lot of online gaming with my ps3, the Blueray player is awesome, The Media Server works great, and if i want to play any pictures, music, videos etc i can do that. Couldnt ask for more on this.

The only 360s that absolutely bricked were the early ones. Ever since then the RROD has been almost entirely caused by bad application of thermal paste on the CPU/GPU causing them to overheat. Also, the power supplies were changed in the later Elites and those failures have all but disappeared.

All things that the 360 has as well. Neat.

There's one error left that I've found that I can't fix, and that's the 2-ring e74 general hardware failure. That one is generally an ethernet port issue, and short of replacing the mainboard, the box is dead.

I will definitely be picking up one of these new ones. Hopefully that swappable drive is a standard interface so I can transfer all my game saves...
