Xbox 360
- Tougher to play games from outside the country of purchase, unless those games don't come with regional codes.
- Apparently has a loud fan.
- Breaks often.

PS3
- Is a better machine on paper but in reality frame rate and graphics quality seems to be worse. Two games I'm specifically thinking about right now, that I want but have these issues, are Dragon Age and (maybe) Bayonetta.

Thoughts? Advice??
Hi Mes,

I've got an Xbox 360 and I can't say I've ever been bothered by the fan noise.
I don't have it for a very long time and it still works fine, but I've heard it does break down often. However this seems to only be the case with die hard extremist-gamers that play for days and days on end, just overheating their Xbox thus breaking it.

However I've also heard of 2 such specific gamer fanatics that have burned up 3 Xbox 360s this way, but everytime they got a new one from microsoft when they sent their broken 360 back to microsoft.
