    The first one I paid for twice as it was before Microsoft admitted a problem and then once after by warranty. The second went back once for warranty repair and then failed with a different fault (not the red ring of death) out of warranty so all went on Fle-bay and PS3 was bought. Never had an issue with the PS3.

    PS3 have had their issues but I'm on my original that I had before they officially came out ;), saying that it's not only used 99% of the time as a blu ray player

    I also had the ring of death with my first box before they extended the Warranty. second one failed in the warranty but since I got my 3rd alls goes well

    My first one failed. I replaced it immediately, then somebody told me about Microsoft extending warranties for RROD failures, so I sent it off for repair and suffered having an xbox at either end of the house. Then the other one RROD'd, so that went off under the amnesty warranty. Then the first one failed again, this time out of warranty and the second one started to sound somewhat asthmatic so Jeanette saw it as a get out of jail free card when it came to actually having to put some imagination into a birthday present.

    Any potential calamities I need to watch out for with the new ones?

    Just ran the car chase level in MOH Warfighter. That was a hoot. The realism is a step up. You cannot see where the incoming is coming from without the muzzle flash and the sniper round dismemberment is straight out of the Canadian sniper footage in Afghanistan that was all over the net a couple of years ago.

    I was a little disappointed with black ops 2 story wise,seemed more effort was put into
    making it a great online multiplayer than the story and action.

    I picked up halo 4 last night so you can guess what Im doing tonight........
    drinking beer and playing fallout new vegas :s cant leave a game partially completed lol.
