PS3 for the win.
Few points on what people are saying, the two weeks shut down was for the users... They could of kept it open if they liked but whilst they were dealing with the hackers they would still be getting people's details and make the whole problem worse.
Keep online = mote problems
Shut online down = sort problems out as quickly and safely as possible. Funnily enough I went back to WoW at that point and had no idea about the whole thing, so I couldn't of cared less :p
I bought my PS3 the day it came out, not one problem yet and still going fine :)

I had a ps3 slim, before the reader broke and the thing overheated, funnily enough, my xbox is still working after 6 years, even though everyone told me that my xbox would overheat in two weeks!

Also whats this about worse graphics? And laggy internet? complete BS imo

Psn allows hackers to get your creditcard-info. ^^

Edit: oh, and after that psn shuts down for two weeks.
Hope you know that xbox did also and still gets hacked but they just tryed keeping it on low.




Online gaming forums are buzzing with reports that Xbox Live accounts linked to Microsoft's Windows Live ID service are being hijacked by malicious hackers.

Kevin Finisterre, a security researcher at Digital Munition, raised the issue on the Full Disclosure mailing list over the weekend, calling attention to rumors that Microsoft's Bungie.net was the victim of a breach that exposed a portion of Xbox Live.

"Some folks are having their Microsoft points stolen and or points purchased via their stolen gamer tag," Finisterre said.

A quick search of user forums at xbox.com and other gaming sites turned up multiple messages from Xbox Live users complaining about hijacked accounts, which typically link gamer tags to Windows Live ID (formerly .NET Passport).
According to Finisterre, there is a group online called "Infamous Clan" brazenly offering to "jack" Xbox Live accounts and boasting about successful account theft.

Several Xbox Live users contacted me to confirm the rumors and make it clear that the stolen accounts are being used for nefarious purposes.

One reader writes:

"I have been involved with Microsoft Support for days on this exact issue and have spent many hours on the phone trying to prove to them that, first, my Windows Live ID was stolen and, second, the ID and password associated with my ID were changed; two actions that Microsoft swears can NEVER happen; and third that the thief was able then use my credit card information associated with one of my Windows Live ID accounts to purchase over $800 of Microsoft products.

Thank goodness for other websites that still contained my old Windows Live ID information and also the fact that, in order to gain access to those other websites, you NEED a Windows Live ID. After spending over 20+ hours on the phone with support and finally getting them to realize that I did indeed have a Windows Live ID, after pointing them to the other websites, I was told by a supervisor that "Yes, in fact, we have heard of some instances where a user's Windows Live ID had been compromized!"

After finally getting this confirmation and having a case number assigned and forwarded to Microsoft Security Investigations, they, also, confirmed it as a breach, issued me another Windows Live ID and then reinitialized the stolen Microsoft Products that were associated with the old ID over to the new ID."

Another gamer wrote in with an identical complaint, warning that Microsoft's product support staff have been unhelpful. "They admit this is an issue but say there's nothing they can do about it," he added. Digital Munition's Finisterre also made a note about the lack of support from Microsoft:

I just got off the phone with a Microsoft Tech for Xbox live that has confirmed this to with me and they have stated that accounts are being stolen and that "Hackers have control of Xbox live and there is nothing we can do about it."
Microsoft did not respond to a request for comment.

My best gaming times were with my ps1 X_X

But really PS3 and Xbox wars go on for way too long... they're not nearly as different as people make them out to be (one's crap and the other is godly) and are suitable for what people LIKE best. The Xbox seems to have more games than the PS3 does but others will feel that the quality change when playing them on the different systems is worth it.
 

Abysmal.

Honestly, the only reason I chose a Ps3 over an X-Box was just down to the controllers. Didn't feel like adapting to that big ass controller. But I was still a kid when I formed that opinion.

And my Ps3 haz neva broke since i got it back in 07 ( or 08 ).

lol there is a reason why Microsoft charges for online cause the severs are more reliable and better than Ps3's.

Better online/exclusive games > Free Online/better graphics


I've had the 60gb xbox 360 since 2008 and it works fine.
