Sony, the least reliable console maker IMO

[QUOTE="Pindolt"]

I see that the 360's reliability is once again under attack by ignorant posters here in System Wars!

I hate it when I see gamers put the blame on companies for their poor skills at taking good care and using good judgment on handling their consoles properly.

Case in point, my buddy had his Xbox 360 sitting on the carpet caked in dust and appeared it hasn't been cleaned in about a year, and he complained why the system wasn't working properly.

-Don't spill or place liquids on the console

-Wipe the console down with a microfiber cloth to remove dust buildup

-Place the console in a well ventilated area

-Give the console a rest break after at least 4hrs (that's just me)

-Dont drop, bang, or abuse the console

Follow these steps and you wont have to make posts like this people....

I smell some trollin' afoot... :P

360s explode if you look at them funny... Plus they sound like a jet engine on low roar.

I see people still like to pretend the 360 failure rate was never terrible. millerlight89

[QUOTE="Pindolt"] What? Did you click the link and read it? BTW.. I've gone through 5 360's in 6 years! The whole '360 = RRod" argument is total weak-sauce now since the arrival of the new 360 S consoles, and makes the user look foolish.

Pindolt

You tell me.

How bout you take care of your ****? Maybe you'll have more success mrmusicman247

[QUOTE="bigM10231"]

seriously. i have gotten 3 to 4 ps1s(most recent can barely read a game) 2 PSOnes (one still in use), 3 PS2s(one water, one power, one still in use) and now technically 2 ps3s(1 BR player, now the YLOD). how many do you want to know of other companies?

1 snes, 2 n64, 1OG GB, 1 genesis, 1 DS 0 for everything else

sadly this

fanboys want this though but i never got it

lightleggy

1N64, 1 PS1, 1 genesis, 1 PS2, 1 ps3, 1 pc...take care of your stuff...btw it seems as if your consoles no longer work because you screwed them...why do you blame the company for that? its not like they do indestructible consoles... and even if the consoles didnt stopped working because of you, you would only be part of the unlucky 1% to have a defectuos sony console...while the xbox has rates like over 10%

Nope. That crown goes to Microsoft for the 360 failure rate. :)

All the PS2 ones were your fault. The PS3 ones were probably similar. It's not Sony's fault you can't take care of your own ####.

While I love my 360, and prefer it over my PS3, there is no way that Sony comes in as the least reliable console maker. We all know Microsoft made a big mistake with their RROD debacle, therefore taking the corrective measures to ensure they kept their users happy, but that incident alone probably had more consoles fail then all of Sony's combined. I only know 1 friend of mine who's PS3 failed, which it was his bluray drive, but that's it. I love games in general, and I'm glad Microsoft fixed their issue, but to say Sony is the least reliable is a bold statement, opinion or not.

That's nice. 360 still had/has a high failure rate I'm sure. millerlight89

You're either really bad at taking care of your things or just plain unlucky.

tc how did you get water on your ps2 ?

I'm still on first ps2 since after it launch and ps2 still going strong

I have a lot of systems, from NES - Wii/PS3, and the only thing I've ever had two of was a DS

Or you can count Gameboys, because I had GBA, GBASP, and I had a DS Phat, but the left trigger button wasn't working a lot, so I decided to upgrade to a DS Lite. And I actually have my Fat DS still and still play it, so...

Bad Luck for you? Good Luck for me? You simply don't take care of your stuff?

My PS2 and 360 both broke once. Nintendo are the only reliable ones.locopatho

What's your point? It's unreliable because I have to blow on the game? At least it still works.

1 NES, 1 SNES, 1 N64, 1 PS1, 1PS2, 1 NGC, 1 PS3... the trick is to actually take care of your stuff, you know??

Thats like me running over a Wii and claiming Nitendo are the least reliable because it couldn't survive being run over....

bigM10231

Why don't you get it? They both suffer from pretty much the same problem anyway. The crappy lead-free solder thats breaking up inside of them due to the hot and the cold. They have to put this crap in them by law. Some people just think it's not going to happen to their consoles but it will. There is no escaping the YLOD no matter how much you take care of your console. Same goes for RROD.

[QUOTE="bigM10231"]why are people thinking its my fault? i obviously proved it wasnt my faultbigM10231

For me personally, Sony has the worst track record, they have made 3 gens worth of consoles and 2 of those gens (PS1 and PS2) were just junk. I went through 2 PS1's and 3 PS2's but my launch PS3 works great. While MS has a slightly better percentage as the original Xbox was great but I have been through 3 360's so for me there record is 50% compared to Sony's 33%.

one thing is fact is that the GCN i have, the controller pulled it and it quit but hitting it on the ground made it work again

bigM10231

I think this is true for all nintendo products. A good banging seems to make their stuff work again. I remember reading something about someones Wii remote acting up and the customer service rep told them to just bang it in their hands and it worked.

[QUOTE="bigM10231"][QUOTE="Brownesque"] You spilled water on your Playstation. What, are you gonna blame the Playstation?

Kekira

False. The 360 has the highest failure rate of any console, period. I'm glad we could clear that up for you.

Guys, I just ran over my PS3 with a car and now it won't play Blu-Rays. What a POS

Equipment failure sucks and it seems to be getting worse the last 2 generations. Xbox is the absolute worst. The original Xbox was a terrible beast of failure, and we all know how terrible the 360 and the RRoD has been.

I still have all my working video game systems from the 1980s-- some of it over 25 years old: Texas Instruments, Sega Master System, Genesis, Gameboy, Gamegear, and NES. Yet my Xbox couldn't make it past 1-year and my brother's 360 didn't last more than 6 months.

Thankfully my PS3 and 360 have been holding up so far, but I wonder how long they will really last-- and it sucks because console makers are so loathe to include backwards compatitibility in their systems anymore. In the next-gen where our stalwart PS3s and 360s that actually survived the generation begin to fail,we will be SOL-- we won't be able to play any or our old games until we buy another system.
