| Tadao | We don't want to go there. That's the point. So please stop bringing it to us. | |

Man, I must agree, I think console communities are pretty shitty in general, try going to the PS/Xbox forums and you'll see. It's almost bad that the PS3 dropped in price because it's only going to increase the amount of retards on there. The TF2/Left 4 Dead forums are a little bit better By the way, from time to time, i try to point out features i like on the xbox. And maybe one day when the wi-fi adapter is under 10 dollars and the harddrives aren't rip offs, i'll get one |

i mean i recommended a friend of mine check out the ps3 when he was considering what console to buy last month, and i am starting to fucking regret doing that now YOU'RE HURTING SONY'S SALES, DUDE |

| executioneer | the reason you are stupid is because you are seriously putting me off of ever even considering buying a ps3. xbox may have a 70% failure rate, but you're making it look like the ps3 has a 100% "turns you into an insufferable dickbiter" rate | |

The only part of his post that was accurate was when he wrote my name. And even that had a mistake, it's Microshock not microshock And i mentioned the figures were off as well

Mostly because you're convinced that everyone who thinks you're annoying is an Xbox fanboy. Also, I already mentioned that the figures were probably off, and I even put a thread out there that put the failure rate really high so that you'd have something to beat off to while you're waiting for your latest PS3 rental to finish installing. I guess what I'm saying is that willie's post is more useful because it contains more accurate information than yours. |

How so dear sir? I'm sorry, am I attacking your soft spot here? I said the failure rate is a lot higher than the 20 percent SquareTrade says it is. The percentage they got is based on the consoles they get to them. But ok, your useful post is obviously smarter than mine in 99999 ways |

| executioneer | microshock you are just so, so stupid | |

Alright, I'm here. I'm sure that the 20 percent failure rate is absolute bullshit. This is an independent warranty provider so all they're testing is consoles they get to them. Basically, the failure rate for the 360 is a hell of a lot higher. I'd say 70 percent And yes i read the article where it says SquareTrade's info is faulty anyway. |

Systems on a chip today reach ghz speeds, far beyond what the old consoles could do. http://beagleboard.org/ But IBM processors and such (what the PS3 and 360 runs on, anyway) build upon people's expectations of getting exponentially better and more features added on. I forget what it is, but there's some sort of chip-making law that maintains a theoretical limit on the amount of circuits or whatever on today's silicon-based doohickeys, so... organic computers in the future that you have to feed?  At this point, I'm just talking out of my ass, so what the fuck ever. |

| Wiffles | well sometimes it was, dust would get in the cartridge slot, and even that had to be cleaned vacumed. but i guess thats a maintenance issue instead of a mechanical one. Also, the cartridge slot contact surfaces kinda get worn out after a while and cant read right sometimes. I guess modern consoles have the main problem of heat, because they run on multi ghz processors in such a tiny box/space. as opposed to consoles before which ran on 12 or so mhz. heck they didnt even need fans, just tiny heatsinks | |

| Fathom Zero | Wasn't the console's problem, was it? | |

| Tadao | Original Playstations had a major flaw where the power supply transformer was too close to the laser eye track, which was made of plastic. It slowly warped the track and made it unable to read CDs, but if you turned your Playstation upside down it sometimes warped the tack back enough to play cds. Ver 2 they moved the transformer but I think the track was still weak plastic and had the same problem, I believe Ver 3 they either used a metel track or harder plastic and finally resolved that issue. | |

| executioneer |
maybe a flash-memory based one would work out better  or is that basically what the ds is

Moving parts. Period. The more complicated the machine, the more opportunities for destruction. And that's not up for debate, it's a goddamn law of physics or thermodynamics. Probably the latter, what with transfer of energy and the constant friction. Cart based things have never ever screwed up on me. If anything, it was a problem with the game. Consoles with disc drives have always given me trouble, except for the original Playstation, which always worked beautifully for me. |

ten percent is still a really fucking high failure rate if you ask me  i haven't had a console fail since the atari 2600, what the hell is up w/ this gen

I am more than likely going to buy a PS3 tomorrow not so much because the 360 has hardware issues but because Microsoft is such an incompetent bunch of useless retards. I would get rid of windows from my computer if Linux could actually run more than a small handful of good games.  On the plus side if my computer fucks up I can more than likely fix it myself without their blubbering whale vagina of a support staff.
