PS3 uses five times more energy than a fridge

[QUOTE="carlisledavid79"][QUOTE="ReverseCycology"]

It's true that the PS3 uses five times more energy than a fridge, but the annual electricity bill might vary because some might not even use their PS3 at all, and some might use it all the time to watch blu ray movies.

PSN ID ?

Why, are you gonna spam me too? I PMed a couple of people my PSN ID, and yep, I got spammed. Now I'm trying to find a way to block them. I know there's this option above their PSN ID if they're on my friend's list, but I'm not sure how to block random people.

You dont have to worry wbout me spamming you. I own both consoles. So you know what to add.

(but we all know you dont have a PS3)

lol Dude do you have your 360 on lego blocks to help with the heat???

lol Why didnt I think of that??

Yes indeed. I've heard the best way to keep it ventillated is to keep it on a raised platform. I had some lego blocks left over from when I was a kid (they're all in a big box in my closet) so I went ahead and built one. :P

lol That is so simple and effective, and I didnt even think of that. I actually tired stacking quarters on all four corners of the 360 to keep it elevated, needless to say, they didnt stay very well, lol.

I got some ol' legos in the closet. I might build me a platform for my 360 too. While I'm at it, I might just go ahead and build a replica of my house. :lol:

[QUOTE="Meu2k7"]I dread to think how much my PC costs a year :SStevo_the_gamer

doesnt depend on the PSU, thats just the max, just like the PS3s 350w, just becasue it can do 650w or 350w, doesnt mean it does, the parts inside, and what there doing is much more important.

i have an 800w power supply, but i think i only need a 400w

That's what I find so weird- I don't necessarily doubt he has a PS3 (I'm kinda 50/50 on that) but the fact that he would rather die instead of actually providing proof is what I find so bizarre. Hopefully he keeps getting harrassed- maybe he'll either stop posting or finally provide proof.

Ah, well. I'll see ya later.

First time I've seen him there, however his question is actually quite reasonable. I don't even know how to block users come to think of it so I take that part back from my previous post. Nonetheless, someone claiming to have seen him on PSN or a pick of his PS3 would suffice for proof.

Hadn't you said that you never got your 360 back from MS support when you sent it in for the RRoD?

[QUOTE="VoodooHak"][QUOTE="PS_John"]

i dunno what hipcrisy is but look at it this way

achicvements are just numbers like 10 points for doing a mission all it is is numbers and you cant even check what people did to get the numbers its just a number next to ur $50 a year username.

with trophys u can show off exactly wot u got the trophys for etc and they are not just numbers

PS_John

Wow... it's painfully obvious you don't have a 360.

Each achievement does have a number attached to it, but there's a description as well as a picture. Check wayneheads pic a few posts up.

EDIT...nevermind. I'll just repost the pic:

well sorry maybe i would know if my 360 didnt RROD a week after i got it and M$ never sent it back

Your gamer tag has zero gamerpoints, zero games played, your reputation hasnt even been touched, you got busted in another thread asking people to take a pic of your name by a 360... and you're anti-360.

So are you saying your 360 RROD'd before you ever turned it on to play a game?

The PS3 owners are saving energy by the simple fact that they aren't using their systems for gaming & the odd viewing of boring blu-ray movie. It makes for a great dust collector & useful paper weight though.jknight5422

So is the RROD a designed feature that allows the 360 owner to save electricity for a whole month?

PS_John

Microsoft gives you a free replacements with a 3 year warranty. It only took me 3 weeks to get a replacement & it has already lasted over 1 year without a single crash. I'm hoping it'll crash again so I can get another one with another 3 year replacement & that I can keep playing the Xbox 360 for free through the lifetime of its production. What kind of warranty does the PS3 have? At the end of 3 years, it might crap out on you & then you have to go buy another one at full price since your warranty is used up. The unstability works out because Microsoft will openly take care of the problem for you. I'd like to see Sony be able to do that. Instead the delaystation will die when the warranty is gone & then you can buy another one. Go you.

Apparently, when they're both off for the entire year, the 360 uses up more power.

Here are the yearly money suckage per console (if you played a game for a year straight):

PS3 - $260.76
360 - $203.38
Wii - $24.58

is this the dude that lied about owning a 360? and got cought creating a silver account? this dude has no credibility!

unless he proved it, then I take it back.

Only 3 weeks. It's fine by me. They pay shipping & handling, they send you the coffin to put your Xbox in, & they send you another one that looks good as new & plays just fine. I'd happily exchange my Xbox 360 every year if I could just because of that perfect 3 year warranty. It's really not that much of an inconvenience when you look at getting a new 3 year warranty when it breaks with the next one that comes in. Sadly, it doesn't break very often for me, only that one time. Dangit.

The instability of the 360 works out because MS has a 3 year warranty that pertains to only the RROD? And the warranty doesnt renew after every refurb, but 3 years from date of purchace. How about stability works out, huh?

I've never once heard anyone try to justify the 360's faultyness yet try to degrade the PS3's reliability. That's a new one.

What??? For one, it took me an even 4 weeks, and I would rather just have one reliable console for 7 years than a 7 refurbs in 7 years. Why would you rather get a refurb every year when you could have one reliable one year after year?

That is crazy.

It totally works out. The warranty is on the REFURB, not the date of purchase! You get a new unit, it's guaranteed 3 years. I already asked them about that. Just like when my Shure ES3 earbuds died, a $180 value, they died twice, each time the replacements were given a new 2 year warranty & they were replaced by Shure without incident. If the Microsoft warranty wasn't so long and the return time so quick, plus it being a free process, I'd have something to be unhappy about..but this just isn't the case.

Regretfully, this second Xbox 360 has been very stable. No crashes, no hangs, nothing! :( Perhaps one more year of use & then I expect it to break so I can get Softy to send me another free one. Don't cost nothing, except a few weeks of my time, which I can use my PC for gaming & be just as happy.

Wow this is really dumb. Who cares if he has a 360 or not? And why is he so desperate to prove he has one? Dumb.Mario2007

He claims he has a 360 that RROD'd before he played his first game...

Unless you prove me wrong with other than he said, she said - I dont beleive the 3 year warranty goes to every refurb. Me, and everyone I know understands it as 3 year from date of purchase.

But go ahead, prove me wrong, seriously, I hope you can, lol.
