My thoughts exactly. Although in some ways, the PS3 can/could be modded more, what with Linux support and such. I think because they were legal mods they get less interest. I really don't get the point of either a) modding a 360 illegally and waiting to get banned from Live or b) owning 2 so you can play free games? You have to pay $300 min + the cost of the mod on top of your original 360 to play "free" games. That doesn't sound so free to me.
I know of a couple who have, I was rather confused cause either it was under warranty or I coulda fixed it. Oh well. What I find the funniest is the one guy I know who has been through 5 360's, and finally sold his off after MS fixed it, only to buy another (an Elite this time) and have it RRoD. What a joke. I don't mean to be a fanboy but how the hell can people keep buying a console with a 54% fail rate?

my 360 has been modded for over a year and i haven't been banned from live. it's so easy now to properly stealth all your games, you'd have to be an idiot to get banned nowadays. if you're careful and don't play games 3 weeks before release, you'll be safe. truthfully, i did buy the 360 because it can be modded but don't tell me you've never downloaded a single mp3 or movie before. it has saved me tons of money on games i play once and never touch again.
as for the rrod thing, i'm pretty sure it has been fixed ever since the switch to 65nm. mine was manufactured in feb 08 and it hasn't shown any signs of breaking down. the new models are more susceptible to the E74 error but that is much rarer than the RRoD was. the new jasper models released in 2009 should be problem-free (yeah, pretty stupid how it took them THIS long to finally perfect the design)
