Big Supes Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm guessing you have one of the newer 360s? I have the elite black jaffa cake (or whatever it's called) console and it sounds like a hovercraft. It's WAY louder than the original PS3 (I have 3) and uncomparably louder to the slim (2nd gen, I only have 1 of those). I literally need to up the volume when I use the xbox to watch a flick. Mine is the 60gb, 4th gen model (I think). The George Foreman PS3 complete annihilates the 360 in a fan sound-off. I don't watch DVD's on my 360 because, although it's quieter, it doesn't upscale as well as the PS3. Plus, the 360 is in my man cave. The Red Ring of Death was a common issue with 360s, right from launch. I believe it was caused by a combination of very poor heat management and lead free solder. The yellow light of death was more of an age related issue, but again down to poor solder. I had to send my Xbox back within 6 months to be repaired, my original PS3 is still going strong, though my early release 60gb (the PS1 + PS2 compatible one) has just had to go in for the YLOD. It is 5 years plus old though Yeah, the engineers screwed up with the heat management, no question. I had friends who had to send theirs back for repair. I've had a repair and upgrade kit in my cupboard for the last 5 years just in case. I haven't thrown it out as I know the 360 will pack up then.

Abz Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 shows how sneaky and shit microshaft are being , cant be trusted anymore. still having issues with it crashing and so close to release date, they are not moving the release date by the looks of it so xbone users will be in for alot of issues An Sony can?!

Big Supes Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 There's still plenty of fun to be had with a dead xbox Haha that's wicked. I wonder what the range is and if it would pop a balloon? I would have fun with that at an event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 An Sony can?! You fan boys forgot too quickly!! Sony can't be trusted to protect users sensitive billing information, that's for sure. The PS4 is also being built in China by students who are forced to work for free. Microsoft abandoned this manufacturer after they used them for the 360.

st3ven1 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 An Sony can?! You fan boys forgot too quickly!! This. Also: FWIW the later xbox 360's were very quiet, compared to the early ones which were very loud. My current late model one is so quiet, it's only the light that gives away it's on.

Big Supes Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Although I can't wait for Forza 5 and BF4, I've got a feeling I'm going to be hooked on this come November 22nd... [video=youtube;N38qh-0Z2ro]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N38qh-0Z2ro I love zombie apocalypse stuff. Online with a couple of mates is going to be immense.

I read something about that regarding the Kinect on the 360 and it carried no weight. Do you have a link confirming this for the Xbox One?

DodgyRog Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Got told by Game that PS4 titles are slipping away from being release titles Driving Club and Infamous have back to next year So no driving games on release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the PS4 is going to release with around 2 games. . . ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 drive club yes, and watchdogs is on both, so 1 ps4 title delayed xbox one is running like a bag of shit at the moment, why rush games out , xbox one is still crashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 "Infamous"? Xbox has a better track record than PS for reliability when releasing big titles. Betas are there to iron out bugs. I'm on interested in the final build of Xbox One's operating system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Games have to come out to buy a console I am not saying I am buying one or the other, but I remember with the PS3 waiting for years for GT that was originally a release title I am worried that not many people are getting to see either system running obviously on it's own merit yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'm keeping my xbox 360 so ill get all these new games on that as they are releasing on it! ill wait a few years till after the initial release so all the red rings and bugs are fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakey Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Watchdogs has been delayed for "Polish" which usually means something fundamental is wrong with the game that needs to be sorted, being as ambitious as it looks i'm not surprised. The PS4 is a good bit of kit and the xbone looks interesting and with a connect being shipped with it will make for interesting games. I will be getting a ps4 though because I'm cheap. Steambox anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
