Every 360 I've had has failed on me, though not always due to an RROD.

First one: Faulty disk drive, not covered by warranty(had just expired).
Second one: RROD, attempted to get it replaced. Microsoft refused to send me shipping information multiple times.
Third one: Frankensteined the first and second one together, using second's drive in first. RROD.
Fourth: Actually my roommates. E47 error accompanied by one red light.
Fifth: Bought for dirt cheap off a friend who is moving. We'll wait to see what happens.

I'm glad my girlfriend got a PS3. Haven't had any issues with it.

Yeah, The World Ends With You is actually the best thing I've seen from Square since the PS1 era.

Only played about 15 minutes of it, because I absolutely loath playing RPGs on portable systems, but I could still see it was a great game in its own right. I honestly would have preferred it on the Wii, replacing stylus input with motion controls.

Didn't much care for FFTA, though. The gameplay wasn't anything special (I'd rather be playing Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lotus - a far superior TRPG), and the story was just juvenile. Comparing it to the very realistic, gritty, deep political intrigue of the original FFT, it just came off as being written for children.

I wish Nintendo would friggin' make a device for the Wii that is made to play Nintendo DS games. I'd drop $200 on a Wii right friggin' now if it could do that.
