New XBL Update Killing Older Consoles

[QUOTE="SolidTy"]

[QUOTE="tagyhag"]

I see it as a good thing since they're owning up to it.

Unlike other companies...

That's a record. That's twice you posted in this thread, and twice you brought in Sony! Did you get a PS3 recently or something? I know for years you were a 360/PC gal! Congrats! :P

Hopefully that darn Sony will own up to whatever they need to so we can link it in this thread someday! :P

Nah I still don't have a PS3. :( (Would love one but I barely have time to play one system as it is, stupid life and all its downsides :lol: ) I just view Sony as MS's main competitor (Much like many here in SW, I mean, we want to have a fair fight so we can't include the PC in this) so I just find it funny how MS would actually give you a brand new console while Sony gives you a hug and a "We're sorry" :P

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"]

For a thread NOT about Sony, there should is a lot of bashing going around.

TheGuardian03

Are we really acting like PS3 fanboys don't do the same thing? Really? :?

Because it's the nice thing to do. I wonder why MS or Sony didn't give anything to those affected by the RRoD or Firmware 2.40 brickage besides free replacement?

Getting your console fixed for free definitely isn't enough for me and it shouldn't be for you either :).

True that. Lems are just more fun to mess with.

Why even post this? The point of MS letting people test the update first is to fix problems like this. You guys are acting as if MS will release the update totally ignoring the problems that they should fix in the beta. Because that is why it's called the beta.........BodyElite

I wonder when an update will bring some exclusives to the system. Hell it's even losing it's superior multiplat edge it has on PS3, the PS3 versions of games either running better or getting exclusive content. Mean time lems get exclusive DLC for homefront :lol:Espada12

It's already got exclusives coming up. Plus "losing superior multiplat edge to PS3?" If anything, it's still there for 360.

Thank god I have a slim.TheGuardian03

Me too.

[QUOTE="djsifer01"]Thanks for posting that. One of my 360's is a older model.SolidTy

You are welcome sir. I actually have an older $399 at the time 20gig 360 from 2005 as well. :P

why would they give something?1stPlaceWinner

Because it's their own software that's killing the systems. Instead of fixing them, they're giving out a brand new system and a year of Live. That seems like a good deal to me.

[QUOTE="1stPlaceWinner"]They do seem to get riled up much quicker than anyone else. I mean we can never forget that La Noire thread.psn8214

Yeah, in my considerable time lording over these forums, I've found that provoking lems tends to lend to far more entertaining overreactions and false delusions of grandeur than the other two camps. It's consistently fun. Gotta' love mah lem tears. :D

Oh yes I did.

360 owners are having the same freezing and heating issues so how would this be cause by a PS3 firmware?

You didn't know Sony was the reason for all the world's problems?

Who said the 360's freezing was due to Sony? :lol: Point that out to me please.

The 360's are also freezing, but it's due to their own (Microsoft's) firmware. Microsoft is giving out brand new consoles and 1 year of Live to those affected. What's Sony doing?

I only linked freezing, heating can be seen on neogaf though. I think that's enough to show this isn't a PS3 problem anyway.1stPlaceWinner

I remember Fallout New Vegas giving some trouble on PS3, but overheating? That sounds silly.Stevo_the_gamer

Personally I wouldn't doubt it, some bad code may be causing the system to work harder than it is supposed to. poorly optimized PC games do this all the time.

That's funny since the SDF is made up of MS and Nintendo fans.

I think the point is that Rockstar deleted there acusations pointed towards Sony, so it may not atcually be the 3.61 update afterall.

Could have been, but my link says otherwise. "PS3 overheating with non-Rockstar games on 3.61 as well"

Nothing yet because it hasn't even been proven to be the firmware's fault.

If it is proven to be the firmware's fault, I'm sure they'll replace broken consoles for free just as they did before.

It's too bad they won't give you a brand new console with 1 year of PSN Plus though. Kinda ironic that they supposed "evil greedy M$" would. :lol:

I think you need to read a bit more carefully. I never said replaced with a new console :).

[QUOTE="KevinnButlerNPK"]fixed does not equal replaced. Nice try though...

KevinnButlerNPK

No, replaced with a working console (which could be new or refurbished, the article doesn't specify).

Oh ok, so insyead of replacing with a new console, you imply they'll replace it with another broken console.

KevinnButlerNPK

Wasn't that what MS did at the start of the gen before they redesigned the chips in the console? The original line of 360s was like a ticking time bomb most people said.

Moderations, moderations! :(

As long as my console gets replaced for free if a firmware ever does cause it to overheat, I'll be happy :).

I can tell you from personal experiece, I have had RROD 3 times, and one E-74. A few of those were the same console(s)...so the ticking time bomb scenario isn't far off from my vantage point. :P I can also speak from professional experience, that "Time Bomb" scenario plays pretty similar for those older 360's as well. :shock:
