| WilliamWatts said: Microsoft issues a warranty 3 years longer than Nintendo and the Wii costs less than the PS3 and yet its the most reliable current generation console. They issue longer warranties as a marketing bullet point. Having a longer warranty doesn't prove much greater reliability and having a shorter warranty doesn't prove a lack of reliability. Second Rate PSUs are the Rosewill PSUs and other noname products. These are not 2nd rate PSUs. |
Game consoles are not PC power supplies.
And yes, that particular line of OCZ products is second-rate. The only PSUs I'd consider buying from OCZ are their Z-series, which I believe are rebranded high-end PCP&C units. But those are more powerful than most users need, starting at 650W. Their other products, including that LED-laden.. thing, don't have the proven track record that a company like SeaSonic, Corsair, or (formerly) PCP&C do.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
