360 RRoD PS3 ylod Wii shovelware



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

 

Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.

My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.

I had my Wii overheat from Wii Connect 24/7. I get the "flashing black/white pixels" of doom or whatever randomly. Nintendo wants $100 + shipping (or so I was last quoted a year ago) to fix it. At this point I rather get a new Wii when they hit $150 and re-play Mario Kart (aka the only big save file I'll really lose).



It's just that simple.

The only problem I could think of is how some Wii's fail to read Dual-Layered DVD's, but then again Nintendo covers that, and it isn't much of a problem.

the Wii does suffer from a minor fatal glitch. Basically the disc drive fails and the blue lights stay glowing. BLoD you can call it.

dang it I was going to say that the blue ring of death

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

The freeze and *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP* of doom? I've got that a couple times playing games. Serves me right for buying it 3 months after it was released.

such is the fate of crazies with motion control.

 

as far as shovelware goes some thread on here ran a statiscal check of shovelware given a set criteria and the result is on every system there was 10% shovelware.



Mine suffers from the complete lack of great games to motivate me to play it. That and I think the size of my PS3 intimidates it.......they are right next to each other.



It suffers from the C.U.L.L. or Casual Ultra Long Life. Essentially it means that long after the gamers have moved on, the Wii owners will still be grazing in the gaming marshes and swamps.



Tease.

I had the YLOD last week, and have opted to send it to a 3rd party repairer because they charge only £69.99 (instead of Sony's £128), you get a 6 month warranty (instead of Sony's 3 month) and they keep your existing HD data intact (unlike Sony). Sony may believe the YLOD fault rate is less than
12,000, but I believe its several magnitudes more than that since the repairer I talked to suggested
they had fixed thousands of PS3s - all of which Sony wouldn't count in their official stats.
