if they're altering the design maybe you might get 5 red lights with the new one

Of course that could be because there are hardly any PS3 owners around (in comparison to 360 owners) on this board

I doubt that and it still doesn't explain why 360 owners jump on threads like this one , Its not as if you don't have anything else to talk about

I'm on this thread because I was a PS3 owner.

Having experienced both consoles the 360 is way better

That is probably the least funny of any of those type of pics I have ever seen. I suppose the fanboys get it.

Feel free to jump on, just for the record strictly speaking it shouldn't have been called RROD as it was just 2 lights (overheating problem) and not the 3 ring terminal hardware failure problem, since adjusting things it hasn't missed a beat. Not bad for something in use most days and according to my GT 135 games played

How did I know you were going to say that!

That proves to me you seem to like the alternative to the trend. The Amiga was better....and I did use both!

No Iain, it's because most PS3 owners are actually using their PS3's and not on here. Whereas the Xbox 360 boys are still waiting for their machines to be returned from Microsoft so have nothing better to do!

The question is, why do PS3 only owners seem to be so sensitive?
I think the sensitive ones are the cheapskates who have only 1 or the other...

I'm a PS3 owner but I don't see any point saying the 360 is garbage and people have made the wrong choice buying it like you see from a lot of 360 owners about the PS3.

Only misguided people think that the PS3 is the 'King of Consoles'. Personally it's the one I use the most but I don't see it's that much different from my 360.

Both have significant faults due to MS and Sonys differing strategies.

Updated to 2.40 and had no problems here playing MGS4 for hours

Use my 360 most of the time but I also use my PS3 so none of this banter winds me up

The percentage was very low I believe, but Sony would rather withdraw something that affects a few customers, unlike keep churning out somehting with a fundamental design flaw, like someone else....

A 15 minute download and another 15 minute install is still a lot quicker than the postal service to send your ring of death Xbox back for replacement or repair for the third time this year !
