They finally all work pretty well. Anyone have a launch-2 year old Xbox 360 that still works by the way? Or any DRE/RROD stories? I remember I got a launch day Core 360 + hard drive, and a couple months after Gears of War came out I sold it for like $280 and a few Wii games. I was starting to heavily regret that decision (and my friends were calling me dumb for it) until a week later the guy who bought it for cheap complains to me about it shutting off and not working. I had no idea what was going on and the console always had proper ventilation, so it made no sense. He mentioned the red lights, and it may be overheating. A few months later we would have our answer. But for those few months I didn't feel too bad for selling it! I know one guy who went through 6 Xbox 360 consoles, and my friend's PS2 DRE'd, albeit after 5ish years. |
Nintendo is the kings of reliability without question. My SNES and N64 from when I was a child still works (so does my PS1 and PS2 though)
One thing I really like about Nintendo is how their systems are so quiet. The Wii U is perfectly silent, especially when compared to my PS4. From my experience a PS4 and a XBOne make about the same amount of noise. I can not wait for the slim PS4 for even more reliability and for it being more quiet
