Should I get an Xbox Slim or PS3?

I was playing New Vegas earlier today. The game froze and I turned the system off. When I turned it back on the center light was on, but the four ring lights weren't. No video or audio showed up on the TV. I use a wired controller so there is no way it wasn't picking up the controller. I unplugged everything and plugged it all back in. I turned it on again, same problem. I waited 8 hours (until a few minutes ago) and turned it on again, same problem.
I'm pretty frustrated because this is literally my fourth 360 to break. Every time I bought them new, which has added up to a good bit of money over the last few years. Now I need to buy a new one, but I don't want it to break 6 months from now. Since I play mostly Elder Scrolls and Fallout, I could get a PS3, though I would miss Fable and Viva PiƱata. I could get a Slim which is more reliable than the regular 360, but this would mean I wouldn't be able to liquidate all of my Xbox stuff and would have to pay the full price out of pocket. Which do you suggest?

look for a jasper model 360. they sell for ~100 and don't rrod. the most u ever have to repair on them is the dvd drive, and between that drive, the slims, and the ps3, it is the cheapest of all. its also the most moddable of all the systems.

I can flash/jtag/repair 360's, pm for details.

4 360's and not a single warranty? I had a refurbished and it rrd'd the first month I had it, I sent it to get it fixed under the warranty and it hasn't broken since. where did you buy these 4 new/used xbox's? and what condition?
also, if you do decide to buy a new one, and to transfer your old user accounts and data, you'll find a cd, a hard drive transfer cable, and your old hard drive popped out make a data transfer between 360's the simplest thing in the world:

yeah, how the heck did you kill 4 360's in a few years and end up buying new ones each time? they have a 3 year warranty now since the RRoD thing for complete replacement... you should not have even paid for shipping man
at this point, i'd probably just get a PS3 though. if you have had a 360 for a few years but not a PS3, you could go back and buy all the good PS3 games that weren't available on the 360 now and give them a shot.
