The hell with you PS3 fools...Got 360?

[Chris.]

but theres also that penny trick too... where apparently you tape pennies together and thermal paste them to the chips on the back of the board. that video was along with the towel video on youtube.... the kids doing the pennies seemed like typical douchebag console gamers.

 

[Chris.]

ITS HERE!!!!11!!!one!

 

[Chris.]

finally after a week of waiting through the holiday...

 

[Chris.]

and already... i never asked this question.... but

since i know you can install your games to the hard drive... whats to stop you from having an extensive library... by renting them...and doing this? would save a fortune...

 

[hooked_on4]

^^ you need discs to play em still

OK I tried being honest w/MS they won't do s**t if it's over 3 yrs. so now they are forcing me to fake an invoice, f**k heads, i'm NEVER buying another xbox or microshit product again...

 

[pmac193]

you need to have the disc in the tray to play, even if you have it downloaded to your hard drive

It's a 3 year warranty, better than alot of other things. It sucks they won't cover it, but under the law, they don't legally have to. That's why I always buy extended warranties on electronics I buy and recommend people do the same. It's extra money up front, but when it comes to stuff like this, they are a life saver.

How long did your nintendo entertainment system last? Your Sega Genesis? Dreamcast? Don't defend em man f**k that, they knowingly released a defected product and rather than delay it they shipped it and then fixed it later to then f**k over the early adopters.

f**k THAT!

I easily have over 1k invested in this box, they don't make $ off hardware it's in their interest to keep me as a customer to keep spending.

 

[NIKE H34D]

So now your going ps3?

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

Those system didn't run as hot as the newer systems, they also had less things to go wrong.

Don't defend em man f**k that, they knowingly released a defected product and rather than delay it they shipped it and then fixed it later to then f**k over the early adopters.

I'm not defending them, I'm just letting you know how it works. Every company releases a defect product, it's going to happen, but when you're talking about these systems and the numbers of them being made things are going to happen.

There's a price to pay for being a early adapter in technology, and having issues is one of the major ones. They extended their warranty to three years for the RROD.

You also have to see it from their point of view. They don't know how the console was treated, what it was subjected to, what climate it was in, ect. These all play a factor to how hot the console runs, and even causing early breakage. This comes with the territory of technology.

That's why Normal Wear and Tear is not covered by warranties and alot of times a company will claim normal wear and tear on a product after a certain length of time.

f**k THAT!

f**k that?

It's not in their interest to keep one customer out of millions. It's in there interest to please thousands/tens of thousands of customers. They could care less about 1 customer. That's what happens when you start to deal with large corporations/companies.

Also, they don't lose money on each xBox anymore. When they started production, they did, they lost 126 dollars every xBox, but this where is Moore's Law comes into play, it's been almost 5 years since xBox has began production, that's 5 year old hardware, an it's getting cheaper to make. By now Microsoft is making profit on xBox's, not losing it.

Seriously


Stop and let me f**king RANT!!!!!!!!!!

Don't give me that new systems run hotter better technology blah blah blah, all systems are state of the art for their time....

Stop arguing seriously I don't need you to tell me what I already know.

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

Seriously

Seriously serious?

Stop bitching and let me f**king RANT!!!!!!!!!!

There's no point to rant. Your warranty ended. Period.

They are state of the art, but technology is running hotter than it did back in the 80s.
The N64's maximum operating temperate was around 40°C, modern day CPU's are running that temperature IDLE. It also only consumed 14.4Watts, modern computers consume more than 10 times that amount sitting idle. A modern graphics card can consume over 150Watts sitting idle.

Stop arguing seriously I don't need you to tell me what I already know.

 

[Matt.]

the problem is that Microsoft is part of a group to get lead products out of homes. Well, due to this they use lead-free solder in the 360's, which has a lower melting point then lead based rosin. For example, the lead-free could have a melting point of like 70 degrees when lead based will be 120 degrees, the xbox may never see 120 degrees but it will most likely see 70 on a few occasions. Which is why when the system begins to over heat, the xbox is about to red ring. Obviously I made up these temperatures, but the rest is all correct.

ahh i'm not even reading it, what part of me not wanting to argue don't you get, anything you have to say I already know...

If you already knew all this, then why are you complaining?

What part of Rant/Vent don't you get?

A rant or harangue is a speech or text that does not present a well-researched and calm argument; rather, it is typically an attack on an idea, a person or an institution, and very often lacks proven claims. Such attacks are usually personal attacks.

I think you're just trying to piss me off, I wasn't trying to start a argument.

Since you insist on keeping this going for the sake of shutting you up, you win,

You Jason = big winner

No, it just pisses me off when people get upset over things like this. Move on and get over it. Your warranty ran up, xBox had RROD, get on with life. It's not causing you to live any less of life. It sucks it's happened but move on.
