ryuclan Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Only real problem I have with my 360 is the amount of noise the damn fan makes, my computer is quieter then that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dash86 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 That problem started because of hardware failure when they realesed the xbox 360. Nowadays it doesnt happen anymore because all you have to do is call microsoft and fix it up. Yeah but it's a waste of time. I would rather be playing my game. [GTA IV] Ya but Id rather have good games to play like Halo 3 and Mass Effect to hold me over until GTAIV. Yeah same here, I'm playing Uncharted and Rachet and Clank. BTW I'm typing this from my PS3. OWNED. I will have more content for download in GTAIV. hurray, anyways I wasnt bashing the PS3, I actually think GTA just feels right on a Playstation.

You can check that from the back of your console. Also, there's TONS of people with first generation 360s that haven't failed, even with "52 hours of running". ALso, this whole f*cking overheating thing is everywhere. It's f*cking ridiculous. Look at it.. they're running on life support. Fans fans fans heatsinks heatpipes new f*cking expensive noisy technology, everything can't stand sh*t. They need to slow down a little with the uber new hot chips.. make them more efficient first for crying out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roofy85 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 i dont think you understand. it doesn't have to be one of the first made. it just has to be made before august 24, 2007 which is many of them for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the first xbox ive bought, always been a sony guy. Yea I was a PS2 fanboy and still is. I actually wanted a ps3 but my dad surprised me with a xbox 360. Luckily there is a next gen dragon ball game called Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit for Xbox 360 only. Same here, was never an xbox fan, but felt like a change so i bought the 360 instead. i will buy a ps3 if my 360 starts trippin which i hope does not happen.

If you keep it right near the wall, the heat will bounce off it and go back into your 360 causing it to overheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, yeah i keep mine clean and i dont play it much (until GTA IV comes), but i find it stupid that there is even a ring of death, there shouldn't be any problems like this.

fitbikesbmx Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I bought the game for my ps3, so I shouldn't have problems, if I do, I'll just run to the store and get it for 360 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony PS3 owns FTW FTW? thanks to the PS3 it set GTA 4 push back till april 2008. gratz. i dont think it was entirely PS3's fault. R* just needed more time. besides if it was released in october, i bet most 360 fans will still be playing Halo 3. back on topic: i would be pissed if i had a 360 that got the RROD when i just started playing the game i waited so long to play. but i have a PS3 and i will get GTA IV for it . so i dont have to worry. Best of luck 360 fans. i hope u all never get the RROD. Edited January 25, 2008 by K-E316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spazifool Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Wtf is a ring of death? You must be a PS3 owner then, its when your 360 flashes red because of a hardware failure! Not everytime. It can mean something else too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but us ps3 users like to constantly point out the fact Microsoft put out a gaming console out onto the market with a 30% failure rate. if condoms were like that, there would be a lot more people inb this world. gold. btw i own a ps3! i thought for a long while and looked @ both of them, but ultimately i got a ps3 and i love it!
