RROD= the flu , PS3 issues= cancer

I see a lot of 360 hating threads tonight so now it's time to counter.

People say the RROD is affecting like 70% of consoles . That is false . It's much lower than 30 for the earlier models. Now,,,

RROD :if your 360 breaks warranty most likely covers it , you send it for repairs and get it back in 2-4 weeks . You pay nothing.
Many people have done this and the fact is Microsoft knows how to deal with this.360 has a hige warranty of 3 years

PS3 problems : PS3s have a small warranty of one year

RROD : In the future more RROD proof models are released . Better prevention devices are present ( new intercooler ).I expect
RROD proof consoles to be out by x-mas . The ones now have a reduced chance.

PS3 problems : since the tray doesn't have a disc dust can get in affecting the console. maybe it can minimize the damage since some of you claim it has a curtain thingy.

RROD : There are many tech experts who can fix it for you for cheap .

PS3 : Again , Sony is probably the only one who can do that.

So in concolusion although teh RROD is more common it's not so bad since people can easily deal with it , but if PS3 gets busted your screwed.

This arguement is flawed because it doesn't contain any facts.dream431ca

it shouldn't happen at all what gamer wants to sit around waiting 2-4 weeks so they can play their machine. what if happen during the gear 2 launch or the halo 3. sucks to be you

PS3 problems : your PS3 is less likely to brick but if it does after 30 or 60 days ( some stores have 90 unless you got extended warranty) your screwed. You have to pay sony to repair it.i believe the waranty is a year with sony plus ps3 don't break a much as 360.

RROD : In the future more RROD proof models are released . Better prevention devices are present ( new intercooler ).I expect
RROD proof consoles to be out by x-mas . The ones now have a reduced chance.

heard this last year and guess what 360 still break

PS3 problems : since teh tray doesn't have a disc dust can get in affecting the console. you do better than this

RROD : There are many tech experts who can fix it for you for cheap . and that makes rrod ok??

PS3 : Again , Sony is probably the only one who can do that.

Is the 360 your little brother or something? Everytime someone bashes the 360 you feel the need to make a thread defending it.

Why do Lems defend RRoD? Lems are the main people who should voice their freaking displeasure with it, and instead defend it and say it's no prob.

Here you go: RROD=3 year warrenty.

Though anything else other than RROD, is only a 1 year warrenty. When that runs out, you have to pay about $100-120.

Link? Proof?

He is a bit wrong on that part. The Jasper motherboard will only reduce the chances of RROD to an eligible failure rate below the one that we know of right now. The failure rate is 16% for RROD alone and that's still too high for an electronic.

PS3 problems : since teh tray doesn't have a disc dust can get in affecting the console.

Um no, theres a slit only a cd can fit in and I doubt dust can just squeeze itself inside the console.

Dust particles can go inside. But it won't really affect the PS3, seeing as it blows out alot of air, but you can barely here it.

RROD : There are many tech experts who can fix it for you for cheap .

I couldn't find anything for that. I wouldn't let anyone besides Microsoft touch my 360.

There are some facts in there, but mostly everything he said are utter crap as well.

The 360's problem is hardware and with time the hardware will get better and be problem free. While the PS3's problem is due to firmware updates that's suppose to fix an issue that's suppose to fix another issue and so on. So yeah RROD is like the flu, while the PS3 issues are like cancer because it's kinda hard to detect these firmware update issues until it happens. Also the flu is curable while some types of cancers are incurable.

PS3 has a year warranty by Sony= FAILkillzowned24

dead laser in 360 = one year warrenty. 3 year warrenty is only for rrod. whats so great about 3 year warrenty anyway? pc cpus and mobs have 3 years as standard

hmm i dunno about the USA but here in singapore, sony fixes the disc problem for free even after the warranty period.. perhaps they know that implementing blu-ray too early is their fault.

and also, i tink rrod is more of the cancer since it kills the 360 totally :D while the disc problem doesn't stop the ps3 from working totally.

You forget my point that the PS3 has a 1 year warranty. YOU ARE ONLY SCREWED IF YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID.

Here is the warranty details , http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/Warranties/PS3, read it please. :roll:

You also forget that having someone fix your 360 that isn't MS will void your warranty for future problems. Which makes you screwed.

And about the CD slit, were there any problems? Have you heard any? No.

And yes you did fail, look at the above posts and then respond back to me.

wait wait.... so the title of the thread is pretty much stating PS3 issues=RROD?

cause Influenza is deadly too...

you can do to prevent cancer and Influenza but they are not both guaranteed...

You can treat some cancers, even regress some...

BUT it's true cancer kills more people than flu, but more xboxs died then ps3... wait so hmmm so if flu=xbox and cancer=ps3 and, there you go failed logic

I don't get what you are trying to prove... since I stopped reading after the title cause the logic fails so badly.....
