It DID happen with the original.

This one has the problem..but some may account for people not reading the owners manual and placing it in a place it shouldn't be...

But I have read that some ARE overheating still..and some ARE scratching discs..even with following directions...

Ps3 will not be over $500 at launch. It will most likely launch at 450 or 400 in Japan, which is normally the same (or more) that is sells for in the US.

A Target clerk just told me this morning, that they have pulled their recent X-360 shipment and are sending it back,
as M/S is recalling the system.

He said they don't expect it to be restocked until February--
wonder if there is any truth to this?

The clerk did say he was going to take down the X-360 accessories display later today because of the recall.

Don't know what to make of this, but rumor mill sounds right.

Nope. Don't have one, don't want one. I'm still quite pleased with my PS2.

I might buy a PS3 a while after they come out and more games are available. I'm never one to rush to get something new.

There was a guy that came into our dealership to have service done and he was bragging about how he bought a 360 for his son on Ebay for $900! What a nut!

I had one took it back, with all the other formats out there why lay all the dough into more games ? We never had any problems with the previous model x-box keep it in a open well vented area.

Supposedly there's a class-action lawsuit pending against Microsoft for problems with the new Xbox

She bought it on a military base exchange for retail... not a bad idea..

I just bought my first PS2 this year so I don't think I'll be getting anything else for quite a while.
