Jake, go on to the gamefaqs or IGN forums, go into the archives and look for yourself...
First game everyone claimed was bricking the 360 was Oblivion, which I have personally had freeze on my 360 a couple of times.
Next was Dead Rising, then Saint's Row, and now Gears of War.
Seems anytime a top shelf game comes out for the 360, the claims of it bricking the system start flooding in. I'm not saying there aren't problems with the system, but it's very suspicious to me that this happens with nearly every top shelf game.
And as for my dislike of PS3, Yeah, It is no secret that I don't like the system. I make my opinion known, that's what message boards are for. If you enjoy your severely overpriced system with the exact same games, all the more power to you, Me, I'll be more than happy knowing I paid the same price you did, and got 2 very good systems instead of 1.
