“You can buy a PlayStation for $599” No applause “The new iPhone will be $1,199” Crowd goes wild

[@fartsnstuf]

quite hilarious considering shitty prebuilt computers at the time the PS3 was released cost that much in 2006

[@saphirsatillo2357]

@Spegimation Wasn't the iphone 10 around $1k. At $750 w/ inflation the ps3 is still cheaper. The only logical argument would be that phones are generally more important hardware than consoles.

[@peterkiss1204]

@Spegimation The target audience is very different. Iphones are considered as luxury items, while consoles are the Corolla of the gaming industry. Cheap, mediocre and pretty common. Not as the iphones aren't common, but apple makes people believe they are exclusive or something.

[@l.e.n.1002]

Many phones today are filled with better HD tech, and better camera quality tech, which overall makes them cost a lot. That is just the 2 big extras in phones. With consoles, you just need a tv, which most people that have a home have. The consoles are only made to read the disc, send that to the tv, which displays it on the screen. The reason why the consoles are so expensive, yet cheaper than a lot of the newer phones, is because they don't have any really extra stuff that phones have. BUT, if you put a X-Box 1 or PS4 and a tv together, they equal out to be pretty close to being as expensive as the new IPhone. So in reality, they both equal out to being the same.

Nope, wrong 1 ring - most are repairable except E 74 - means your eDRAM is shot and your GPU/eDRAM package needs to be replaed 2 ring- repairable - probably bad paste or severe dust 3 ring - some repairable, some require replacing GPU or CPU or RAM. Some however are just bad caps or MOSFETs - easy fix 4 ring - only on Xenon models - A/V cable broken or missing

I don't think they were all red rings, though. I remeber a a power brick issue at least once. I got a nice big free nugg everytime. He drove and had a nice car but was paranoid as fuck by that point. He would ultimately get robbed at gunpoint in his own house so he had some justification in being paranoid. Put him out of business. Probably a good thing. He was approaching 30 with no employment history and simply played games all day. It isn't the glamorous life.

Funnily enough, the RROD happened to me SO freaking often, the deliveryman came to recognize me easily given how often I had to send the console back to repairs. Hell, I had RROD happen even when I was just booting up Halo 3 for the first time ever. As noted, it was Microsoft increasing the warranty's lifespan as well as paying upfront for delivery what made me stick to the console, and love it for all its flaws. As much as I hate corporations, that was honestly a goodwill act that made me trust the brand a lot at the time. It honestly pained me to have to finally pack up my 360 and its games for one last time. For all its problems, it was one of my favorite consoles ever.

So I was gifted an Xbox 360 a couple years ago from a friend of mine. After about 2 months of using it, it got the RROD. I looked everywhere on YT and couldn't find an answer. Then I found it. A random video by a 12 year old saying that all I needed to do, was get only half of the red ring. In his video, all he has to do was take/scrape off the end of a Q-Tip, then stick it into the fan so the fan would stop and give me half of the red ring, and when you get half of the red ring, it activates an automatic system reboot, removing all problems with the console. I was so happy, so happy that I now keep those Q-Tips in the Xbox 360's case, everywhere I go incase I ever get it again.

I remembered when my Red ringed, I was terrified of it happening, but by the time it occurred they had the process down smooth. They sent me a another one & I simply returned mine in the same box with the included prepaid shipping label. Was actually extremely easy. Microsoft although had ample opportunity to fix the issues before it got that bad, in the end they really did do the right thing for the customer. That's one of the main reasons I've been a loyal Xbox weenie since day 1. I've owned the original, the original 360 (that red ringed & was replaced) & I sold on eBay to pay for the Halo 3 Edition 360, One, One S traded all three in towards the Halo Edition One, I traded that one in towards the One X on launch Day. Now I'm just waiting for the Series X to launch...

Yeah I remember mine too. It was something like 8 or 9 at night when my Elite finally red ringed after having given a lot of service for a couple of years. I called and spoke to someone when it happened and they set me up for the replacement unit. The biggest problem for me though is that I didn’t have a credit card at the time on which for them to place a hold for the swap. So I had to wait until they received my faulty unit before they would ship the replacement. I was over a month without the console before it finally made it back to me. That was a pretty terrible month as I had gotten rid of all my more modern game consoles at that point. I had to go all the way back to the N64 and Super Nintendo to have something to play.

I have a fun story. My father won an XBOX before launch in the big microsoft/mountain dew event beforehand. It lasted until we sold it in around 2012/2013, and so until today, I had never heard about the red ring of death. I guess we got lucky. EDIT: I didn't think this was relevant before, but I'm putting it in anyway. My dad actually won the console by going through the trash cans at his office and finding all of the mountain dew caps inside, because a lot of people there drank it. He then, since there was one every hour, submitted them all within one hour, and won.

[@hattrickster33]

Cool story. It's possible the ones they gave away were from a good batch which didn't have any problems. The system ran hot because of bad thermal design but the actual point of failure was the lead-free solder they used. It basically started to crack and the CPU and/or GPU would lose contact with the PCB. They could have used better solder on some batches like the ones they gave away, which would explain why they lasted longer.

[@trilafide]

@@hattrickster33 They weren't allowed to use leaded solder. Lead free is usually fine, really the problem is the the lithography of the processors. They got too hot. I've repaired these professionally and while replacing the solder with leaded can help, they still tend to fail again.

[@placeholdername3206]

@@ryanishungry7409 No it wasn't. The best version of the PS3 was the launch version (also known as "the phat") which is counter intuitive, i know. Usually later versions are better. It was built out of more expensive materials, had touch sensors, made less fan noise because it was better ventilated and most important of all... It was backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 since it literally had the PS2 chips inside as well while the slims did not and could only play PS1. As far as I remember it had more USB slots as well. Overall it was just more expensive to manufacture so the later versions cut down on some of the features to reduce costs.

While this is true, it can also happen totally randomly on its own.

Out of nowhere, horrible crunching noise, game stopped. Take the disc out and it's got the circular scratch. Thankfully the Video Ezy did DVD buffing and that made the disc playable again. We joked that the console couldn't handle any more of that awful game and decided to sabotage the disc.

@@rav1997 I disagree. PlayStation is a company built off corruption and greed. Not saying Xbox haven't done it in the past but as of right now the Xbox One X kills any PlayStation in terms of specs and performance, the X is also the closest platform to the PC. Not only all of that but Sony is also responsible for not allowing cross-platform matchmaking and other greedy moves like PS Now. (Though Cross-Plat with other consoles changed with Fortnite) While it kills Xbox is sales, Xbox is still headed down a much better direction than Sony, think about the future. Make no haste, I'm not a Xbox "fanboy" I actually owned a PS4 until I sold it for a new phone and keyboard for my PC, just in recent developments I'd much prefer an Xbox over PS4 any day.

The problem with the 360 was a super easy fix . It was all due to the fact that all the fans airflow was going to the cpu and not the gpu . I have successfully fixed and modded hundreds of Xbox 360 at the time by just adding a plastic divider in the fan shroud so that the airflow was devided into 2 streams , one to the cpu and one to the gpu . Its failure was all due to a simple issue of basic mechanics. Because the shroud had been altered to make way for the standard size cd rom by making the gpu side 1/3rd the size of the cpu side ! The airflow was no longer evenly distributed between both the cpu and gpu and it all went to the cpu , basic mechanics that was obvious to anyone who had ever experienced airflow issues with their car etc . A simple piece of plasic glued into the shroud meant that now both the cpu and gpu would receive air . A case of to many geniuses and not a single basic mechanic to realise the airflow problem. Cheers to all who understand the simplicity of the fix . Ps my units have lasted and are still running strong today.

A friend gave me his Halo 3 themed xbox 360, which was red-ring'ing. I took it apart, tried a few things and actually got it working. My theory, while I was looking at the chips and the heat sinks, is there is next to no height difference between the chips that gets cooled by the heat sinks, and the surrounding components, capacitors and whatnot. With all the heat, turning on and off, with the board warping as it will from regular use, the surrounding components would touch the heatsink and short circuit, being the cause of hardware failure. Now, I tried this. I have some regular printer paper for isolation, cut pieces big enough to cover the bottom of the heatsinks, probably a little bigger wouldn't hurt. A hole would be cut out to expose the chip that actually need the cooling, so with new themal paste and the paper between components and heatsink, I screwed everything back on and tested it. And bam, it worked and has worked ever since! Huzzah!

That's a weird way of saying "I don't have the money to buy a 360 slim"
