any article that lists the 360 as <50% fail rate seems pretty questionable.

Why do you think that? Because anecdotally yours is still ok for now? My Blu-ray drive failed just over the two year mark. It doesn't take much googling to see that two hardware failures (YLOD and BD drive failure) for systems in the 1 to 3 year age range are occurring at an unacceptably high rate. I don't think it's near the level of the XBox, but it's at least at the level of "these known manufacturer problems should be repaired for free."

I'm happy I spent the extra 40 bucks or whatever for the extended Walmart warranty. Peace of mind.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
Thanks for the graph Decker. But I was looking more into information between the different PS3 models.
I know that the 60 GB BC is the oldest, and from comments everywhere, most of the fails start after the two years, so the number are going to be more towards them. I think I got my 40 GB PS3 in December 2007, so it's already 2 years old. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timelin...Station_3_SKUs |

Wonder how the 20gbs are holding up.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
Can someone start a poll on people with launch PS3 failures? I'd be curious what the numbers will be.

I tried to post such a poll at blu-ray.com figuring they probably had a large sampling of PS3 owners and it was promptly deleted by a moderator.
In the Heavy Rain thread the mods deleted posts asking about the QTE and threatened posters to not ever bring it up. And it wasn't even complaints. People were just asking if the action sequences were solely QTE or not. :shrug: |

Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
What was really ridiculous was the mods explanation. They said they didn't want people asking because it wasn't QTE. Really? Then what the fuck is it? :lol:

Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
Two new models of the Sony PS3 slim pass through the FCC Sony may try to hide behind its shell company, Sand Dollar Enterprise, but those game savvy FCC equipment authorization miners know better. Spotted at the FCC and receiving approval for its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth frequencies are two new models of the Sony PS3 Slim, identified only by the designation CECH-2101A and CECH-2102B. The two models can be differentiated by their HDD type and, from what we can glean from the FCC documentation, are otherwise the same as the current PS3 Slim that you can pick up at your local Gamestop. Sony has not hinted at a new or updated PS3 console so speculation is running rampant with rumors that range from the not so exciting suggestion that this is a mere internal wireless component change to lower production cost to the exciting suggestion that this is new PS3 hardware whose novel specifications and feature list has yet to be uncovered. Knowing that Sony just refreshed the PS3 with its introduction of the Slim model in 2009, we expect the former but desperately hope for the latter, how about you? |

Sorry for asking here but the Heavy Rain thread here is full of spoilers. :D |
Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
So I know it came out a few weeks ago, but I just got around to playing it. If anyone is thinking of picking up White Knight Chronicles, don't. What a terrible game... bland character designs, a crappy MMORPG-like fighting interface, a ton of grinding, and a lame Phantasy Star Online-like online play feature that seems shoehorned in. Granted, I'm still relatively early on in the game, but I just don't see any redeeming qualities here. And it's not like I'm really picky with my JRPGs.

Based on the demo, yes. The action sequences are pure QTE. But they have some exploration and dialogue trees (presented in an assumptive form) to mix things up. But any action sequence is a QTE-fest.

It's the scenario and story progression that has me intruiged. The gameplay mechanics are rather meh. |
Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
Yeah, I've played the demo.
I meant, is the full game just QTEs? Besides walking and using your goggles. |
Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
You got me there, Raul3. My experience has yet to go beyond the demo.
