Nah, it turns out Blu-ray causes cancer.

You get really aggressive over nothing.

I expect nothing less from a 14 year old.

I was using emphasis and common sense.

Obvious joke was obvious. A normal person would have appreciated the absurdity of it. Also, it's not impossible for hurricanes to hit the tri-state area here since it has happened before, FYI.

Considering you didn't know I was 14 until I told you,

True, by the way you've been acting since you joined I could have sworn you were 12.

you're just hopping on the "Little Angry Kid" bandwagon.

How is it a bandwagon when you really are one?

wow, fucking amazing.

how does that justify her remark about how everyone with a PS3 MUST TUNE IN NEXT TIME ZOMFG.

Which is fair because 360s have been on watchdog a few times.

True.

Where are you getting yours?

I don't know many import sites that ship to the UK.

I'm not actually sure if NCSX ship to the UK, but even if they don't, I'm more than willing to spend £40+ on it from eBay.

NCSX is in America, Play-Asia is in Asia.

of course.

Dreams Can Come True.

Sony didn't say they looked at that guy's video for ideas though.

Knowing Sony, I wouldn't get my hopes up for an improvement like that anytime soon.

Why was I not informed there was a PAX Rock Band pack last year too? Downloading that, and the one Freezepop song I didn't already have now.

I think I'm going to start reviewing all my Rock Band DLC.

Sprode (the Freezepop song) is too easy, FC'd first go.

Skullcrusher Mountain is again too easy, but is a pretty cool song.

Livin' on the Corner of Dude and Catastrophe has a nice chart, but the song is only average. Still fun.

Shhh... is boring. I heard the band who did it did all Cthulhu-based songs, but from what I can tell this is just about hiding a body.

Just bought me The Beatles Rockband today
Gotten pretty far into it, on the rooftop stage on Expert already :P
Great fun, looking forward to unlocking all the trophies and photos and stuff
Anybody wanna play me?

Also finally beat Don't Stop Believing again, after passing first go, and then never being able to do it again. Still only got through the hammer ons on red, but a pass is a pass, and I still pulled out 5 stars.

No sneak-peek cinema events planned, but like I hinted earlier, the Fortune Hunter Editions are heading up north...

I Know, maybe they should do a standalone R&C Multiplayer game, i know they done it on PS2 but i would buy it of the store if possible.

Once I get my new game I'll more than not update my system, but right now, it's just sitting in my room for music and my hentai collection. <:D~ I also hope to get a bluetooth headset so Sketchy and I can play UT3 online and there is no doubt in my mind that I will own the GoW collection on Blu-Ray. THAT IS A DAMN PROMISE!

lmao

got a bit further on Call of Juarez earlier. also fuck PSN for randomly signing me out all the bloody time.

Hey, what's wrong with a hentai collection on my PS3? I see nothing wrong with it.

In other news, if any of y'all have "Game Informer" you'd realize that the people who have 360s are sore losers.

I couldn't find a link to the article, or get a good pic of article.

So I'll just give you the graphs they have:

ATTENTION: ALL OF THIS IS FROM GAME INFORMER, September, 2009. pg. 12-13

EPIC FAIL

No gaming moment is more demoralizing than the time you sit down to play a game and your system doesn't work. With hundreds invested into the console and visions of customer service hell, you start to freak out. You hope the problem will fix itself, but it never does. Unfortunately, most of us have been there. How pervasive is the Xbox 360's Red Ring Of Death? What about Sony and Nintendo? We surveyed close of 5,000 readers and document their tails of woe.

Console Failure Rate

XBOX360 -- 54.2%
PS3 -- 10.6%
Wii -- 6.8%

Percentage of console owners who suffered a second hardware failure after the original repair

XBOX360 -- 41.2%
PS3 -- 14.7%
Wii -- 11%

Percentage of people who rate their customer service experience "very helpful"

Nintendo -- 56.1%
Sony -- 51.1%
Microsoft -- 37.7%

Percentage of respondents whose friends have had console hardware failures

XBOX360 -- 69.9%
PS3 -- 12.4%
Wii -- 6%

Random Facts

Percentage of respondents who said they'd never buy an Xbox system again because of their system failure: 3.8%

The majority of repairs for each console took two to three weeks, but Microsoft's drifted upwards toward a month. Nintendo and Sony, meanwhile, trended sooner at one week.

Perhaps the Wii has suffered fewer hardware failures among our readers due to the fact that it isn't played as often. The majority of Wii owners (41.4%) said they play their Wii less than an hour a day on average, as compared with the Xbox 360 (three to five hours: 40.3%) and PS3 owners (three to five hours: 37%)

The unreliable Xbox 360 isn't stopping its fans from buying new ones. The percentage of owners of failed 360s who've bought more than one: 36.4%. This is compared to Sony's 13.4% and Nintendo's 8.4%. Makes you wonder how legit the 360's sales numbers are.

Note: Percentages taken from the total number of owners of each respective system

And again, the above is all property of Game Informer, I looked through their online magazine, and I tried looking for the article, but I couldn't find it.

Please don't ban me Mods. PLEASE. I'm merely letting the rest of the thread know about the utter hilarity of this.

Slnt.

That was a survey of only 5000 people.

I realize that Sketchy, but I just found it immensely hilarious.

It may be a rather small sampling but it still an applicable statistic, but it's not like it's new news. Everyone's known that the 360 was prone to breaking for a long time now.

Hasn't that problem been fixed and dealt with though?

I'm there my friend, after I beat the story on all three instruments.

Hey, we can get the Trophy for starting a band with 4 members!

But it still seems relatively accurate. Granted, the failure rate is a bit higher than the "official" rates, but it seem proportional.

I'd say the 360's failure rate is around 40%

I've seen them RRoD within 1 month to not even 4 years and counting.

It's a strange console that's to say the least.

Elite 360's are still easily subsceptible (?) to RRoD and other various errors.

Well basically it's all his anime porn.

Not just limited to anime.

I had a lestai collection once. It was good, but I wiped it off permanently.

I gots a cheap ass arcade stick for 15 dollars and it works. Sketchy might be actually able to win if I use it from now on. =P

It's hold out while I look for a better one.

I was correct. The stick sucks for competetive play, and sketchy won.

You've gotta get used to it for a while, that being said, that stick is so ghetto, i would recommend getting used to something else =/

That survey is such bullshit and I don't know why you're bringing it up all of a sudden or why I'm even bothering to respond. That survey is highly misleading and very inaccurate. There was another survey conducted by a company called SquareTrade which is the largest independent warranty provider in the world. The study compared the malfunction rates for all three consoles and found the Wii to be nine times more reliable than Xbox 360 and four times more reliable than PS3. That said, there has been significant improvement with Xbox 360 and the RROD problem. SquareTrade's data shows that the introduction of the "Jasper" chipset in late 2008 "has likely solved" the RROD problem.

* During the first two years of ownership, 2.7 percent of Wii owners reported a system failure to SquareTrade, compared with 10 percent of PlayStation 3 owners and 23.7 percent of Xbox 360 owners.
* Excluding RROD failures, which are covered by Microsoft's three-year warranty, 11.7 percent of Xbox 360 owners reported a failure.
* While the RROD problem continued to be the major issue for Xbox 360s purchased through 2008, early indications point to theproblem abating in 2009.
* The most common types of problems seen with the PS3 and Xbox 360 were disc read errors and output issues. The Wii had more power and remote control issues than the other 2 systems.

You can find the full report here.

So as you can see you have two different surveys here with two very different out comes. One is a survey from a game magazine of 5,000 subscribers and the other is from the largest warranty provider in the world and shows the increase and decline of RRoD of the Xbox and covers over 16,000 new Xbox 360s surveyed. You can choose which you would like to follow.
