Well this blows, i just went on to play some greed corp(amazing game for those wondering), and it says "Problem loading trophy data, please quit game." Im going to try to see if i can play while offline, but either way this is pretty lame. I own a fat ps3 aswell.

Righhhhtttt tell yourself that.. I've owned EVERY SYSTEM... that includes the crappy 3DO even... and the xbox360 has to be the crappiest made. It's been reported nearly 70% have had the RROD.. you get what you pay for!

LunaDravo

I've owned THREE 360's, two of them broke within a year... I did a quick search... and got these numbers.

Last years failure rate on current gen systems:

Xbox360: 54.5%
PS3 10.6%
Wii 6.7%

yeah they've "really" corrected the problem.

ouch, you got an F.

hints:

try some inferences between PS2 and 360, and go see how bad the PS2 was at launch. Don't spew BS, mine is in my cabinet fully DRE'd.

Look at SquareTrade's study. Both of them. I like to think a major warranty company would know more than a mindless fanbot.

try again.:)

Not even comparable Xbox360 ignored the problem, they knew about this problem for years AFTER the release. PS2's failure rate was NEVER over 15% unlike the 360 which is still over that mark.

The 360 has the potential to literally burn down your house, I wouldn't brag too much xbots.

Funny that lemmings are so quick to jump on this when XBL has been down(unscheduled) more times and for longer then PSN ever has. Yet they claim that you get what you pay for....Sorry, but I don't understand this logic.

I've owned a 60 gig since launch and PSN has only been down twice, this being one of those 2 times. Yes there's been some scheduled maintinence, but some lemmings have already ruled that out as counting towards downtime. And even in those cases it was only down a couple hours tops.

In any case, who cares if PSN is down. Watch a movie, read a book, play a different system, whatever. There's lots of stuff to do in this world other then play Playstation.

hope they fix this overnight so it will work find tommorow

That's not good enough for you... CNET also checked into this claims... here is what they found.

"It's the story that never dies, which is ironic because that's exactly what Xbox 360s keep doing. The old "Red Ring of Death" thing has all but disappeared from the news, but CNET has followed up on a Game Informer study to determined that 60% of British consumers have faced the crimson beast.

1,128 gamers were polled in a survey, with 562 Xbox 360 owners, 473 PS3 owners and 591 Wii owners. The PS3 and Wii reported a 16% and 6% failure rate respectively. The 360's 60% completely and utterly dwarfs the other two systems. Even worse, 32% of that number said they've dealt with a crippled Xbox twice. A further 19% stated that their 360 had died on them three times.

We all know how bad the 360 failure rate is, but this really hammers home how pathetic the whole situation has become. When the percentage of 360s that died three times is higher than the percentage of PS3s that died once, something truly ridiculous has happened."

That's our Microsoft!

And even if you're calling those number crap, you probably still believe the Square Trade numbers which are of a similarily small percentage of the userbase AND they don't even include RROD's in their warranties. Meaning RROD's are NOT part of Square Trades failure rate numbers, meaning even without RROD the 360 still has a higher fail rate then the PS3.

Now how about we get back on topic here.

Square Trade doesn't deal with RROD warranties. Any problem they reported in their percentages were outside the RROD issue. Try again Havoc.

xX-Incubus-Xx

Square trade does record problems from RRODs, they have even reported data specificly about RRODs in the past.

I just took a glimpse at the PS3 board and they're going nuts over there. :lol:

562 Xbox 360 owners is not a valid sample size. Please refrain from posting pointless stuff like this in the future because it clutters the topic.

I was saying Modern_Unit's post was propaganda, not yours.

Free and inferior, what else is new?

Square Trade nailed it on the head... they said they died at around 25% HOWEVER.. that does not take in account the systems REPORTED to Microsoft directly.

If you have a problem with a product, 7/10 will deal directly with the provider.

you're hilarious... they've been sued MANY times over for the RROD... google it.. easy find.

Lets see can't log onto psn with my launch 60 gig.

can't play any of my downloaded games all my ps1 games say copy right is wrong, my PSN games say the copyright is wrong or the game is currupt, my time is messed up, my themes say they are currupt.

All I know is, I wont be getting on my PS3 until this issue is fixed. Sounds like Sony's got an issue really. Was there an update recently?Kekira

Something this huge wont go unnoticed. Expect a fix real soon. Thank god Im not using my ps3 right now.

Wait a second. So 5000 people surveyed doesn't count, but 500 consoles does? And their recent 15% number was not including RROD. That's what I meant. They may deal with RROD but I would imagine they only do it outside of MS's 3 year waranties and there's no point for a 3rd party company to deal with a warranty when MS will send a rufurb 100% free of charge.

What really sucks is more and more PSN games have been moving to a P2P setup with servers only there to grab certain info. Basically, the exact same thing as XBL.

Again googling is your FRIEND, they've been "taken" to court for system failures. I even saw they had a Wikipedia page DEDICATED to it. Pretty impressive really. Microsoft has had everything class action law suits to being "taken" to court.
