I've also never experienced anything of the sort. Sure, my system's crashed a few times, but I've had it since November 2014, and it's only done it like four times.

PS3 and X-Box games are very likely to crash. Especially if playing for long periods of time.

True. My Xbox 360 is prone to it, but I've got lucky with my PS3 - touch wood, not frozen or crashed on me thus far.

I've had crashes on virtually all my consoles for one reason or another. But corrupt save data sounds weird. Just about the only thing I can think of is when transferring save data on a USB. I did this once and had to delete 1/3rd of my The Last of Us data (system wouldn't read the latest save). As for data that the system saved on its own, I don't know if that's even a thing, though.

If you don't shut the system down correctly or the system crashes, it'll do a forced system integrity check on next boot. It's not to say it's corrupted, it's just checking to see if it could be. That's all I've ever had after a crash. Everything was fine afterwords.

^Yeah, that's happened to me a couple of times. But the only thing that it does is that it brings the settings back to "factory"; so my Theme and sound settings are no longer there. I've also had corrupt data (not save) on my PS3 come about via prolonged downloads of games; as wells as multiple downloads (one after another).

You can skip those. Just press the cancel button (button "O"). Still good to do once in awhile, but not after every crash. At first I thought you couldn't skip them and it drove me nuts because ME3mp on PS3 hard crashes all the time. Lucky I complained about it once and someone on another forum told me you could skip that system fix thing. So now I'm telling others. Because that system fix can go on forever. Lost track on one that went over 2 hours, I kid not.

Sony has me sold. I just pre-ordered one on amazon. I like owning my games. I feel as if Microsoft wants to own my privacy, time, money and games. I refuse to be a victim of greed gone wild.

$500 for control, restrictions, Kinect (which no stable minded gamer has any reason to prioritize it) and a breach of privacy. Fuck you Microsoft. Fuck you and die.
I refuse to be a slave of Microsoft.

Little did you know, 3 years later you'd have to buy a new version of the same console.

Well seems some will always be slaves to Sony.

^For years I simply refused to buy a Microsoft console. First it was the issue of >50% failure rate of the 360 with the red ring of death (which, IMO, it was way more than that; as it was not "if", but "when" your original 360 would perish). Then as I started getting comfortable with the idea of getting a 360 after the second iteration was noted to be more durable, and they come up with the DRM bullshit for the Xbox One. Thankfully both issues have been resolved by now.

I just could never understand this "disposable consumerism" mentality where so many people were initially willing to buy into a system that, 1. Was going to break on you and need a replacement during the lifecycle of the console, and 2. Was going to scratch your discs. Again, thankfully both issues have been resolved by now.

P.S.> Yes, the PS2 slim will also scratch your discs. And the midcycle transition of the PS4 (and Xbox One eventually) harks back to the notion of disposable consumerism, but at least I get to keep my consoles and games.

I was just saying folks need to keep more of an open mind over blind loyalty. Last console I was blindly loyal too was Sega Saturn, but even that didn't stop me from enjoying Playstation 1. How many Playstation 1 owners can say that?

Saturn, PlayStation and N64 owner.

Console loyalty is for suckers.

I also played Morrowind in 480p in 2016. The price of being a console gamer.

how can you play xbox on 480P?

As a Playstation 1 owner back in the day I can safely say I had no idea what a Sega Saturn was or that it was even a thing.

Thanks, internet!

Saturn is a good console btw.
