Gryph Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Anything that is made has a statistical chance of not working, especially electronics. It happens all the time and usually the percentage is really small. I learned this in Statistics class. Something about confidence limits or something.

ken_cinder Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I'll also add.....the PS2 STILL has problems, even the latest revisions. Oh and the original Xbox is till burning peoples houses down! So what if a handful (In respect to the total sold) of 360s are having overheating problems, that doesn't mean the system as a whole is no good. If you got stuck with a bad one, I feel sorry for you......but thats your punishment for being a tool that stood outside in the cold for countless hours to pay launch price for a system just because you wanted to be the cool kid on the block.

Thraxen Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Come one people, this happens with every console launch. These days with all the gaming forums around you can always find a handful of vocal people complaining about their broken systems. As Cinder pointed out, you don't hear from the thousands whose systems work just fine. And really, it's not just consoles. Go to any forum decicated to any sort of electronic device and you will always be able to find people griping about broken or faulty equipment.

Inky Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Nah, only a year -- Playstation 3 -- from a reliable company That's the funniest thing I've read all day. Maybe it's a bit exaggerated, but I don't ever remember having a problem like the X360s on my PS2 or any other Sony product for that matter. (I do remember my first generation PS2 overheating beacuase the fan screen was clogged with dust) I remember my buddy having a Sony PC, he ran into tons of problems (spyware, virus related) and the Sony tech support was great.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I guess you never had to turn an original psx on its head to get it to read a disc. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I here by call today, Bash Adel151 for being a tard-day. Back 2 topic: That vote only represents what? Like 1% of all bitchy 360 owners out of [how many 360s sold] minus $126 loss per unit. The sale went pretty damn good if you look at the bigger picture that doesn't concern you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a long time I did the disc swapping trip to play burned PS games... then I added a chip to it... Figured that was what caused it. ^^ EDIT : Back on Topic. http://www.canada.com/technology/story.htm...d1-2b0fecc9604eAdd over heating to the list. ^^ Edited November 25, 2005 by Nusumenai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
