Gamers mourn: PS3 units die too |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: Microsoft, Sony
Ó
If we would name something as the biggest news of the century, it won't be Nintendo buying Sony and Microsoft. Everything pales in comparison to what we just found. A tragedy it may be, but the heart of evil would laugh at such event. What exactly is this tear jerking news? A PS3 unit just died.You read that right. The Xbox 360 might be suffering a 33% failure rate, but owners of the box are reported to be having the time of their lives. That isn't the case with this young man who desperately tried to save his dying PS3. You must be pretty intrigued now, so we'll get on with it.
There's this poster over the Blu-ray.com forums going by the name BluManta. On the post he made, he told the story of his friend who called him after said friend's PS3 "just died for no reason." Our hero in the making asked if any broken games, DVDs, or Blu-rays were used on the unit. Answers were all "no."
Finally, BluManta decided to venture over to his friend's place. To his shock that could shake the whole world, the mentioned dead PS3 had duct tapes over the vent. Why you ask? His friend answered, "I am really cautious about my ps3. I really look after it. I don't want dust getting inside it so I covered up the holes to stop dust from getting in."
Thus, another console died and it wasn't a 360. Our condolences go to the broken PS3's owner, and salutations to his friend who valiantly attempted to find out what was going on and tell everyone about it.

What kind of idiot closes air ports! ITs the only thing keeping it from keeping it from asploding under the extreme heat of the cell! I mean at least the red rings of death on the 360 are the result of the 360's terrible (and annoyingly loud) cooling system as opposed to the PS3 that doesn't even make a whisper and even in 90+ heat never has had any failure probs. Whereas my friend's 360 was destroyed by the red rings of death on a 90 degree day. But stories like this are soo ASININE!!!!!!

Please change the title. I read this article with a "WTF?" and a "OH HELL NO" mind set cuz it says "Gamers Mourn...." LOL..... I don't see anyone here mourning. lol..... SHOULD say "Gamers rejoice in the loss of a doh-head's PS3 due to doh-head's closet life.
Here is Doh-Head's ass when his dad is at work: (|)...
This is doh-Head's ass AFTER his dad gets home: (0)...
Any questions?

Firstly, I think it's stupid to label a WHOLE nation as being dumb because of the action of the leaders. That's like saying all the people of a certain country are evil if they happen to have an evil ruler. It's stupid, unfair, and ignorant.
Secondly, what has 360 failure rates got to do with the people of America? I can understand president Bush to an extent on the basis that people voted for him, but the failure rates of a product says nothing about the people of America and so it's stupid to link the two.
Sorry, but it's not Americans who are dumb, it's you two. :|

Seriously, this is the type of person(the duct taper) who lowers the collective I.Q. of the world JUST BY EXISTING!!! He's so stupid I can feel it.
Dude, if you want to keep your PS3 free of dust, keep it in a well ventilated area, keep that area CLEAN, cover up your PS3 with the cloth that came with it WHEN YOU AREN'T USING IT, and finally, get a small eletrical fan or a syringe and gently blow air right on the vents to release any dust that may have accumulated on it.
Dust WILL get through, but you CAN limit it.
It's just common sense. Then again, common sense isn't so common.

You can ask questions in ANY country and get dumb responces, but that doesn't make ALL the people dumb. Also, general knowledge is NOT the same as intelligence. Yes there's a high correlation between intelligence and knowledge in general, but some of the most intelligent people out there are very poor at general knowledge, including some geniuses who are so obsessed in one area that they have almost no interest in others.
Dumb people exist EVERYWHERE, and you'll find a higher percentage on forums like this than you'll find in the outside world.
"And what their weight?? Eating only hot dogs, fries and chips?? That's REALLY DUMB!!"
The eating habits of a nation has nothing to do with intelligence, and you only show your lack of intelligence by claiming that being fat for eating the wrong foods means that person is stupid.
Like I said, I'm not an American, but that doesn't mean I have to join the ignorant mob who want to point the finger at ALL Americans and call them stupid, because it's those in 'the mob' who are stupid, not Americans.

So, you just KNOW IT do you? You know nothing and it's obvious in your post. Besides, I'm waiting for you to explain why you think being fat for eating poor food means a person is dumb! Do explain to everyone here.
"And not only me. There are many people..."
Like I said, a mob of dumb people. That doesn't make you right, no matter how many people you think agrees with you.

The thing is, all the dumb comments are coming from those who are calling Americans dumb. Talk about pot calling the kettle black. lol!
so don't waste your time on these anti-American morons Xtreme, there are far better things to talk about here on QJ and far better people to talk about it too. :)

See you somewhere else on QJ perhaps.

Who helped out the European nations win past wars... the USA. Who gives money to LOTS of impoverished nations, the USA. Who has people trying to stop the current war and get rid of the Evil Bush and his crew, lots of smart Americans. Many of us hate the whole Bush crew, and think he is f'ing up the USA. Bush is the dumb american. He fixed the last election to keep himself in power, he needs to go!
Please do not categorize all Americans in the same lump.
And I too think the duct tape story is fake too.

Now about all this American bashing its just stupid becuase the people that are trying to say Americans are dumb don't even live hear or if they do they must not get out much. There are a lot of health nuts here too. Besides please if you are going to insult someone's intelligence uses proper english if you are in an english based forum.... it just shows how ignorant you are if you can not spell correctly or use proper grammer and try to insult someone else. (My paragraph might have errors too but I'm not trying to single out a whole country, just the two idoits on this thread)

Back to what I was saying..... Thank you for insulting my intelligence. It is always nice to see someone slaughtering my language while calling me stupid.
We have a couple of words in the English language that describe people, like yourself, that group many people together and say that they all act one way or all have the same intelligence level. Those words are racist and bigot! You, my foreign friend, are both.
You also display a lot of ignorance by claiming that you KNOW how stupid us Americans are. My IQ and education/knowledge are at least on par with yours and most likely much higher. My reason for saying this is not arrogance. It is based upon the fact that I am not claiming to know for a fact that all Europeans, Asians, Africans, South Americans, + Australians are stupid. I know far too much to claim that just because someone lives in a certain country or on a certain continent that they must be stupid.
FYI, I speak not one but two other languages. I learned French + Spanish while I was still in High School. I am rusty with both because I rarely use them but I am more than capable of learning foreign languages.
All Americans are fat and overweight, huh? Many of us are overweight and our nation has an extremely high obesity rate but yet again you show your ignorance by claiming that ALL Americans are fat and stupid. I will make this really easy for you I would not want you to have to get online to convert these numbers so I will dig into my stupid American brain and convert them from memory for you. I am 1.8 meters tall and about 68 Kg in weight. I play sports daily and I eat very healthy foods most of the time.
So why don't you and all the rest of your ignorant friends that know almost nothing about Americans or our intelligence levels go find somewhere to hang out together and talk about how stupid we really are. Maybe you could even find a legitimate reason for calling us stupid if you all brainstorm for hours on end about it.
You make me sick with your ignorance and rampant stupidity. Maybe you should look in the mirror sometime Ivan and you might just see someone that really IS STUPID! Have a nice day!

Who helped out the European nations win past wars... the USA by turning up when the war was almost done. Who gives some money to A FEW of impoverished nations, the USA. Who has people still figting the current war and get rid of the Iraqis and their crew, lots of "smart" Americans. Many of you love the whole Bush crew, and think he is fixing up the USA. Bush is the dumb american. He fixed the last election to keep himself in power, long live bush

You better check and see just how many trillions of dollars flow OUT of the USA to OTHER countries...
The current war is a sham and a debauchery. Bush lied to the american people to get what he and his cronies wanted like the evil bastard he is!...
Smart americans are trying to get rid of Bush and his administration. Look beyond the mainstream media if you want to know the truth. Try freespeech.org + democracynow.org + enlighten yourself.

The inquisitive folks over at Ripten decided to do a little research on the failure rate of current next-gen consoles. Their conclusions should come as no surprise, with the PS3 resulting in a low failure rate. What is surprising however, is the failure rate for one console in particular appears to be higher than previously anticipated. An EB Games associate singled out the Xbox 360 console by advising "failure rates for all other consoles were not high enough for EB to consider revising their policies" further claiming the failure rate of the Sony PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii to be "less than one percent." An EB Games manager reiterated the low failure rates of the Nintendo Wii by exclaiming that "zero [consoles] have come back defective." A Best Buy manager then went on record saying "a quarter to a third" Xbox 360 consoles sold, come back defective, confirming the 33% failure rate percentage. The methods used to determine failure rates for these consoles appear to be too elementary to really prove anything concrete. Nevertheless, this story allows us to breathe a little bit easier, as it continues to prove our console of choice can still fold like a champ and have a longer lifespan than that of its direct competition.

Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,
I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "***** MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,
but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)
You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH
JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.
Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.
Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"
There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

Dude claims that he bought a PS3 for his family and hence can't be biased against it, but ALL of his PS3 related articles are bad news with gay ass comments that no one wants to hear at the end of each one.

It's giving gamers a false impression that the PS3's are at fault. Furthermore it's only one PS3, there's really no need for an "s" after unit.
Suggested headline "PS3 BEWARE: Idiot at large"
