Xbox Live had intermittent downtime during the 2007-2008 holiday season which lasted thirteen days.[5] Increased demand from Xbox 360 purchasers (the largest number of new user sign-ups in the history of Xbox Live) was given as the reason for the downtime; in order to make amends for the service issues, Microsoft offered their users the opportunity to receive a free game.
The free game was Undertow, and it sucked. And if I remember correctly, Live wasn't down, it was just laggy as fuck. I believe that might of been the year Halo 3 came out.

I have a 360 and a ps3.. My 360 has RROD twice. But I got them both replaced and the newest one has been good for about 2-3 years. I bought a PS3 at the beginning of last year and the disk drive is broke on it or something.. It won't read any disks.. It became my netflix and streaming machine now.
Though, I'll say when my PS3 was working I started buying all of my games on there instead of the 360.

Today is Day 23. Supposedly it will be back up in 18 days.
That's 2 months PSn will have been down for. And how does Sony say they are sorry? By forcing you to give them your credit card information to get suckered in to a PSN+ program that auto renews after the month is over. Oh, and 2 free games from a list of 5 that are all most likely launch PSN games that nobody would buy otherwise.
I will not be buying a PS4. Sony has lost me as a customer. I realize that they were not responsible for the initial hack, but their ineptitude on how to handle the situation blows my mind.
