Got mine back last week had to pay £56 for out of warranty repair - it went on its hold to Germany :D

Theres a new fault now to the rings which mine had - basically the video chips are failing so half way though your game screen goes pop - you can still here the game but thats yer lot!

New mobo on mine now - all is well again - few!

oh i thought we were on about the effects of last nights curry..........

I still can't believe they sell so many of these when they're clearly made of substandard parts lol

[MicKPM]

Substandard parts you say... MS aren't the only ones. Apple are also always caught out using them as well and you just know that means the 3G iPhone is going to suffer now its cheaper.

Its the same with all good electronic products though. Demand for them is high as is the demand for greater profit margins so the cheaper components come along and find there way in the systems. The PS3 will also no doubt encounter this at some point as the PS2 did with its ghey DVD drive.

I don't get the whole XB360 Vs PS3 fanboy war though. They're both good consoles (Except the XB does require the use of ear protection whilst playing). The PS3 really isn't all that... I HATE the Sony online gaming experience but to a total newb who doens't know any better I guess it's passable.
