So I got one of the first-gen Xbox 360s, right? I've had it since whenever it came out, I honestly can't remember. And it only TODAY gave me the RROD. Not for hardware failure, mind. But overheating. The disc tray broke off last year, and it's been having trouble reading discs longer than that, but the damn thing still works, if I play with my window open. So Xbox 360: The Guts of gaming consoles.
-
Yeah, my Xbox E 74'd on Friday. Got a thread and everything (although, it turned into a Halo thread).
-
A couple days after our Xbox came back from the shop, it RR'd.
Suffice to say I was pissed.
Although, that did appear to be from the power cable being a piecer.
-
Mine seems to be made of iron. It refuses to die, and that thing's been dropped off my shelf more times than I care to count. But if it does break, I have a spare, so whatever.
-
Don't have an x-box, but my external hard drive just died (meaning I have to start at the BEGINNING of editing my film. UGH).
-
Ouch. I bought mine for $20 earlier this year, and I already filled it up with school stuff, RM stuff, random writing, and a ton of games. If it dies, the rest of my college life is gonna SO suck.
Btw, editing a film?
-
Yes indeed. There's a website for it: http://terraseries.webs.com
It's about year 3 in me trying to finish it now. I've just about had every believable and unbelievable software, AND hardware failure imaginable time after time after time.
-
Software AND hardware failure isn't fun for editing films, not at all... great April Fool's prank on an entire apartment of computer nerds though.
-
TERRIBLE Prank. Although I'm a computer nerd so I might be biased.
-
My Xbox 360 red ringed last summer, so I bought one of the new 360 Arcades for $200, kept the system and the new smaller power supply, and sold the rest to a friend along with the old console and power supply for $100; he sent it in to get repaired and got it back working, I got a brand new set of hardware that should last for a while, especially with the better power supply.
-
Solution: Don't buy a 360. hehehehehe
-
That is a lame solution.
-
It's slowly losing/killing all it's worthwile exclusives anyway. Halo is likely to become terrible after Reach, and Epic want to move from being Xbox focused, so Gears will probably go with them.
-
I fixed mine, manually, also added a few things to prevent it to happen again fo a longer time.
-
I have the xbox mainly for Rock Band, since none of my friends play that on PS3. Everything else I could want from it is also on PC, so I haven't even played it in months.
-

True dat. I have a PS3.
-
My ex bought me a xbox 360 arcade system 2 years ago for christmas and even though now I just use my computer instead I have left that thing on for weeks at a time forgetting to turn it off or just not caring the only game I play on it instead of my computer now is Mass Effect and I am constantly surprised I have never gotten the rrod yet for leaving it on as long as I do. Though the rrod is not so often as it was when the 360 first came out.

PSP and DS are the best consoles of this gen. Prove me wrong

Sad to admit but I didn't really enjoy the PSP too much.
-
Yeah PSP to tell you the truth had very few good games. In the States. In Japan, TOTALLY different thing. They have anime related games for the PSP to the wazoo and GOOD anime games, beside others. I know this is normally true for the consoles that come from over there, but the ratio for the games of the PSP, well I think is significant.
-
Okay, let me ammend that. PSP with custom firmware and DS are the greatest consoles of this gen.
-
Just saying I've never had a Nintendo system go bad on me like this. My game boy, which I've had for like 20 years, still runs just fine.
-
PSP with custom firmware
Disqualified.

I still have a perfect condition SNES I'm proud to say ^^
-
Well I still have a NES. I WIN. What I dont have working are the games for it.
-
I have all of that. A friend of mine has a working Virtual Boy with the complete collection of games.
-
Well I still have a NES. I WIN. What I dont have working are the games for it.
Yeah, well I got stadium events muthafucka!
-
I, uh, still have my SNES with a completely working copy of Super Metroid.
Yeah.
-
I had a SNES and a NES' but lost both when I moved. The joy of having someone else pack your stock and throwing random things in the garbage... still have both Zelda for the NES, though. Still have a Game Boy, with Metroid II and Kirby's Dreamland. Other games are either more recent or less interesting. Own a Virtual Boy but lost the black thing to hide to put your eyes in. Yes, badly explained, but I'm bad at explaining. Pretty sure you know what I'M talking about. Only have Mario Golf and Red Alarm, though.
As for PSP... there are good games, and the possibility to have PSX games is pretty good as well. Add to this the ability to read music, videos, etc. It's a pretty good thing. But I prefer the DS. Too bad I don't have one anymore, will have to buy a new one. Oh, and the analog thing has failed. I still have the first model, though. Pretty good that I can't play about half of my games because of this.

Nintendo consoles don't die. The games do, if they have save batteries. It actually said in the original Zelda manual that you should expect something like a year's of life out of it before it died.
My Pokemon Crystal is dead :<
-
My Yellow doesn't keep saves. My Zelda (NES) does, though.
-
They're just those standard watch-type batteries. You'd think they'd use something a little less common in your local electronics department.
-
The PSP weighs at least a thousand pounds. And all the controls are in weird spots. Hurt my hands the few times I tried to play it.
The DS is light and the touch screen is great in most of the games it's used in. I don't approve of the microphone though since games keep trying to use it in stupid ways. Looking at you, blowing up balloons in Mario Kart DS!
-

They just go to a big field full of other Nintendos, where they can run and play all day and never be turned off.

Hold Select. Nintendo had the sense to give you a less ridiculous control option.
-
Works faster when blowing in the mic. Still prefered pressing Select, though.
-
It only worked faster if you could get the mic to read correctly all the time. I could not. Now, I don't know if the mics suck, mine sucked, or I can't blow in one area consistently (I'm sure there's a joke to be had here), but I can't get the thing to continuously inflate. It's far slower and much more difficult than just holding Select for me.
-
Some say you nee\ to blow harder. I been always a select man.
-
The PSP weighs at least a thousand pounds.
So does the original DS. And only the original PSP weighs a significant amount. Kind of a moot point.
-
Balls are inert.
-
Basically modded DS and PSP are legitmately great. DS mainly for homebrew and the like. And PSP makes an excellent emulation machine. Can play pretty much everything up to the PS1 generation
-
I still prefer the first PSP model since it is a bit heavier and its back isn't completely flat. However, the PSP 3000 (and the slim one too I think) have a more clear image than the black one. I also prefer how you open the UMD thing on the first model.
About blowing balloons, yeah, if you blew correctly it would work faster. But of course, I couldn't have it done, so I pressed Select most of the time as well.
-
Well I still have a NES. I WIN. What I dont have working are the games for it.
I have Duck Hunt, Mario, and some other stuff
-
I had to go to my sister-in-law's place but I got it... KUNG FU
-
Lucky bastard. I can't find a copy of that anywhere!
-
Kung-Fu? **** you.
