Other failures fall under the same warranty cover as the Wii and PS3 have. 90% of 360s that die fail with the 3 red lights error… which is why they do something.

I never realised that only certain faults were covered by that - that's a bit mean, tbh. I saw a new one this morning somewhere… Kotaku or Joystiq, maybe? A ‘red dot of death’ or something.

I'm currently swaying towards the PS3 version for a couple of reasons: 1. I have yet to finish any of the GTA's, so if I can't even finish the game I doubt I'll dabble in DLC 2. I think sony really have got into my head with the whole 'GTA is synonymous with Playstation' thing. If so, fair to play to them. Can I live without rumble though? Yeah, I think I can :) I pre-ordered both versions as I hadn’t decided which to buy.
