Xbox 360 errors

[Xeniczone]

this is from a long time ago but...

Is it bad enough they can't build a reliable OS but they can't even build a game system correctly.

-Power supply over-heat: Many have said there xbox 360 stops after so long of play. This is because there exturnal Power supply over heats and there has been no recall for new ones. Sony in europe have done a recall on there faulty power supplys. Is it hard for microsoft to admit there is a mistake or do they just like users of there hard ware to suffer.

-Cd Scratching: I thought the time that dvd come out you wouldn't have to worry about the dvd player eating the dvds the same way VHS tapes did in a vcr. Well Microsoft proved me wrong. Some systems only do this when you move the system. Others do it just to piss you off like microsoft likes to do.

- Screen of death: Ok, we have all seen windows and it's blue screen of death. So what does microsoft do they put a black screen of death on the xbox. WTF This is the first game system to crash this isn't right.


Lets all say thanks to microsoft for ****ing up the game industry.

SCREW the xbox 360 i'm getting the playstation 3.

SCREW the xbox 360 i'm getting the playstation 3.

Me too ... unfortunately, it will include DRM I'm not sure of the implications of the DRM on a game console though.

Microsoft  $ony and  all corporations that act like these two

what is wrong with sony?

DRM

What do you mean by DRM what is it?

[Pathos]

I'm going for the revolution personally. Sounds novel.

The current forecasts of the PS3 being expensive and late are not good.

To be competitive with microsoft sony have needed just as much cost cutting.

I've never bought a console within 5years of its release anyway wait for it to be really cheap first

It's a rootkit ... basically with it $ony owns your computer ... they know everything you do (or at least have that capability)

Yeh I know what your talking about. it is the type of graphics used in movies.
 
Still what is wrong with sony why you hate them so much? If you think it is because there after money like microsoft your wrong because sony is from japan there are shipping and other charges that mess with the price of sony products in america. but microsoft is a american thing so there aren't anything except bill gates greed.

You poor poor thing does this mean you just got a playstation 2.

I like sony personally. I mean once they make a system they dont stop making the system until it is smaller and better they have done it to 2 out of 2 systems can't wait to see ps3 mini. Nintendo I will never buy a nintendo there my enemy from the past. I was a SEGA boy in the past devoted to only sega and sonic never to that italian dude and his gay music that would send you to a mental institute listing to it all day.

Then I just plain hate microsoft. ME got mac

Sony has done a lot of bad things in the last year.

They aren't getting any of my money.

Not to mention they patented a technique for tying game disks to the console they are first played on.  Buy a disk, you can't let a friend use it when you are done.  You can't sell it.  You can't buy used games.  Wonder what they are going to do with this patent?

WTF This is the first game system to crash this isn't right

Heh, i've seen a Sega Genesis crash (maybe it was just the game, but the screen was blue, and there were hexadecimal white letters on it). I also remember that nice flashing black to red screen from the NES due to timing issues with that wonderful lock-out chip Nintendo used for the system.

because sony is from japan there are shipping and other charges that mess with the price of sony products in america.

That sounds sort of like propaganda put out by Sony. Will NO PS3s be built in an American plant (or one on our continent, at least e.g. Mexico) somewhere for sales here (you know, like Japanese car companies having factories here in the states)?

[Xeniczone]

I know but just because there here in the us doesn't mean japan can't tax everything that came out of there state.

i have never had my sega genesis crash the worst I've seen before xbox is the nes with a black screen if you start it up without a game. And the only way to fix it was to hit it multiple times until it read the game.

[H_TeXMeX_H]

I prefer things made in Japan ... cuz unlike shit made in the US ... it actually fucking works, and works well (usually). Sadly $ony has turned to the dark side, mostly due to improper management. I used to like $ony too, they make computers that last (heck the laptop I'm using right now is a $ony) ... too bad they turned so greedy and evil all of a sudden.

The Xbox 360 is a better system then the Ps3(power wise)

The Xbox 360 is a better system then the Ps3(power wise)

So what is it that you know about core that I haven't heard of?

[Lead Head]

core? or do you mean cell? The graphics systems in the PS3 is weaker then that of the Xbox360 and IBM bearly knows how to program the cell yet, let alone sony

[piratePenguin]

core? or do you mean cell?

Whoops, I did.

I can't wait to see how cell does.

[Xeniczone]

WHOW WHOW WHOW!!!! HOLD UP!!!!
 

The Xbox 360 is a better system then the Ps3(power wise)

 
You think the ATI chip and the custom made IBM cpu inside of the Xbox 360 is better then the Cell chip and the Reality Sysithiser!!!!!
 
What have you been smoken, what ever it is give to me it has to be strong (joking)
 
The xbox 360 is still using texture mapping.
Playstation 3 is moved on to a much more complex system used in movies that looks to real to be true. Off course the ps3 still doesn't look as good as the movies because it can only do 2.13 trillaflops per second and a super computer render farm would put out about 36 trillaflops per second. But it is much better then the xbox graphics.
 
Another thing is the Sony,Toshiba,IBM Cell chip is almost twices as fast as the IBM chip in Xbox. Not by speed but other physics. Like the Cell has 7 cores(it has 8 but one is disabled for some reason) the Xbox only has 3 cores.
7 cores is like a core dedicated to each items of the game. One core for sound one for geomitrys one for programming one for the ps3 os etc.
 
Not to mention Ps3 use of br-rom with holds almost 10x a normal dvd like xbox uses.
 
Sony ps3 also has a high quality of definition I think 1280p can't remeber the exact number.
 
Bluetooth is much better then xbox wireless. there has been reports if you have 2 xbox 360's in the same room they will pick up the others controllor. and ps3 has 7wireless 1 wired (8 controllor support) xbox only has 4
problem with 8 controllor support is can you imagine a 13in tv split 8 times
but that is what DUAL SCREEN SUPPORT IS FOR!!! YEH YEH
 
I like the ps3 looks better then xbox360 when I first saw a xbox 360 I thought it looked really good. Then I saw it in person wow didn't look so good to me anymore. I dont know why but to me (if you look at it in person) the cd rom looks out of place or something I can't explain it.
