Is the PS2 hurting PS3?

[GMichael]

I was at a friend's house for a BBQ on Saturday and the kids wanted to play Madden on the 360. Unfortunately, it crapped out on Friday and now they had to send it back in to MS. The interesting thing was that three other guys there all talked about the best way to send it back as they all encountered the same problem. They were so nonchalant about the process, it was a bit unsettling. Have our expectations receded so much that we have a cavalier acceptance of faulty engineering?

This is the main reason I'm looking at the PS3 instead. I'm sure MS will work out the bugs. I may be back once that's done.

Yeah, that's supposedly all taken care of now...
My brother bought a machine 2 years ago, had it crap out...with no receipt, no fuss, no questions asked they replaced it for him and paid shipping.
That is NOT the MS I know, but good for them.
If I had to choose a console based on quality, I'd pick Nintendo...as it is, Nintendo wasn't the one that appealed to us the most.
Ya pays yer money, ya takes yer chances.
Sad when Sony becomes one of the reliable ones in any electronic device market.
